Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Carpenter

Notes:

Of Skjelhaugen Kvåle 38/9 according to Trudy.

One of his baptismal sponsors was Marit Helgesdatter Ellingbö (2911).

The Vang parish emigration record shows him leaving for “St. Paul” in April of 1890. He departed Liverpool on 30 Apr 1890, bound for New York.

The St. Paul city directory for 1889-91 records him boarding at 288 Williams. His occupation is “turner.”

He (as Thorsten Quale) and Randi and family lived in Northfield in the 1900 census. Thorsten was a cabinet maker. He came to the U.S. in 1890, his wife in 1889. Randi has had 5 children, 4 still living. The 1899 Northfield city directory shows that he is Thorstein Kvalle, a cabinet maker for the firm of Ferguson & Richardson, and that his address is WATER 3 S OF 8 ST.

In 1903, he is Thorstein L. Kvalle, still in Northfield, living at 812 E. Water. His occupation is carpenter.

In a 1911 land ownership map of Hickory Twp, Red Lake County, T T Kvale owns a 160 acre parcel, the southeast quarter of Section 17.

He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books), as “Thorstein T Kvale” of Rudell, Minnesota. He was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1916.

Notes:

She is Jørand Torsteinsdatter Lome, I19667, in Jim’s VS. Jim has her mistakenly born in Lome.

dwfrench1 calls her Jørand Tostensdatter Kjorlien.

In the 1900 census, she had had 5 children, all still living. She came to the U.S. in 1869.

Julia died of pneumonia. Her usual residence at the time she died was 624 East Granite, Granite Falls, which was not a farm. She had been in Granite Falls for 30 years. The informant for her death certificate was Mrs. Erland Knutson.

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1941-MN-002398
• Baptism: 25 May 1863, Vestre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is I8325 in Jim’s Ellingboe tree revised on 24 Feb 2012. Jim shows no parents for her.

In his notes for her in that tree, Jim says: “She is probably the daughter of Knut Iverson Eltun and Gjertrud Thomasdotter Eltun. Knut moved to Bøkkadn (33/3) on N. Ellingbøe in 1868. Gjertrud's mother was Sigrid Ivarsdotter Kjerstein (1805-1879). Eltun is next to Kjerstein and there were many connections between the families. If she is this person, she would have been born 17 Apr 1863 and baptized 26 Apr 1863.”

She is not listed in Jim’s VS, either as Thrond’s wife or as Torstein Torsteinsen’s daughter.

Jim’s attribution of parentage to Knut and Gjertrud is not consistent with Anna’s 1884 marriage record to Thrond in which she is shown as Anna Thostensen Kjersten, age 20. It is also not consistent with the birth record for Anna and Thrond’s first child born in Maynard on 13 Jan 1886. In that Wang Lutheran Church record, the child’s mother is clearly shown to be “Anne T. Kjerstine.”

The parentage shown here is consistent with the birth record of the Anna born in Vestre Slidre (p.87, Vestre Slidre prestekontor 1856-1864). The farm name of that Anna’s father is something like Risiskeiet. That is consistent with Tosten Tostensen being on the Rusiskaaret farm in Vestre Slidre in the 1865 census. The bygdebok (Vang A, p. 239) shows that Tosten, son of Tosten Ivarsson Kjerstein, married Randi and left for Vestre Slidre in 1860.

Called Anna Thompson in MOMS when she married Trond in 1884. Called Anna Thostensen Kjerstein in the ELCA record (Our Savior’s in Sacred Heart) for that marriage.

Emigrated in 1867 according to the 1900 census. At that time she was 37 and a widow living with her family on a farm in Wang Township, Renville County. The household consisted of Anna, 37 (b. Mar 1863), Trond, 14 (b. Jun 1886 in Minnesota), Dina, 10 (b.. Jun 1889), Theodor, 8 (b. Oct 1891), Christine, 5 (b. Mar 1895), and Ida H., 2 (b. June 1897).

A 1913 land ownership map of Wang Twp, Renville County, shows that she owned an 80 acre parcel in or near the village or community of New Lisbon. Her parcel is contiguous and made up of the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter and the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 9.

In the 1920 census, as “Mrs. Tom,” she was keeping house for her single, 27 year-old son Theodore in Tioga Twp, Williams County, North Dakota. She was shown, probably erroneously, as 63 years old.

Living with Helen and Helen’s husband at the time of the 1930 census. In that census, she was indicated as having come to this country in 1866.

In the 1940 census, she lived in Stoneham Twp, Chippewa County, with her daughter and son-in-law, Helen and William Kramer, in the same house in which they all had lived five years earlier. Anna had a fifth-grade education.

She died from pernicious anemia.

Anna married Trond Trondsson ELLINGBØE on 26 Feb 1884 in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota. Trond (son of Trond Iversson ELLINGBØE (OPDAL, UVDAL) and Kjersti Helgesdotter KJERSTEIN) was born on 1 Jun 1858 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 7 Nov 1897 in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota; was buried on 10 Nov 1897 in Wangs Lutheran Church Cemetery, Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota.

From an article in the Minot Daily News, November 26, 2021:

ALEXANDER – The Haugen Ranch of Alexander was honored recently with the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association’s Rancher of the Year award.

The award was presented at a special awards banquet held during the organization’s annual convention in Fargo this past September. Seventy-five-year NDSA members and ranch proprietors Les and Shelly, along with their son Lane and daughter-in-law Kristan, run the cow-calf operation in McKenzie County.

In 1912, Lars and Christine (Dahl) Haugen homesteaded Haugen Ranch, 15 miles south of Alexander. They had made the voyage from Vang, Valdres, Norway, unwed at the time, and arrived at the port in Boston, Mass., one month apart from each other. In November 1912, Lars filed for land in Bowline Township in northwestern North Dakota and he began living on the land shortly after. Lars and Christine were married March 17, 1915. They began their married life on an empty prairie with empty hands, ready to work. In 1916, the land was officially patented as their own.

“One-hundred-and-five years later, Haugen Ranch lives on,” said Shelly, noting the family’s centennial celebration, which took place in 2016. “It has been fun and honorable to see Lars’ and Christine’s vision when they settled here mold into something they could only dream of. We keep building and we strive to be better each day.”

Lars and Christine had three children, all born on the homestead. Their sons, Orville and Luther, were farmers and ranchers living south of Alexander and their daughter Inga became a nurse and moved to town.

Luther Haugen married Florence and, in 1946, they purchased the family’s ranch and became North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) members. In 1949, Luther relocated the ranch to its present location, two miles north of the original homestead. The homestead’s outbuildings still function as usable facilities today.

Luther passed away at the age of 50 in 1972. Florence and their four children, Les, Judy, Laura and Kay, continued to live and work on the ranch after Luther’s death. Florence retired in 1980 and, in 1981, Les and Shelly began purchasing the ranch from Florence and Les’s sisters. Les and Shelly continued to expand the ranching and farming operations, growing and adding acreage with each generation. They made it a point with their three children, Callie, Lane and Tess, to instill the tight-knit, hardworking family values of the western heritage. Les and Shelly give a lot of credit to the success of the ranch to their children for their hard work and continued dedication to the operation.

Les and Shelly introduced Charolais cattle into the commercial herd. The cattle herd presently consists of black and black baldy cows and still uses Angus and Charolais genetics. They calve in April, wean in the fall and sell to repeat private buyers. In addition, they keep black replacement females when able.

The Haugen family also hosts a large branding each year. “We do it the traditional way — with a rope and drag,” said Les. “Our neighbors come from all around. They play a vital part in our operation on branding day, and every other day of the year.” The Haugens credit not only the family for good help, but the indispensable and strong neighbor relationship the community around them has. “We are family-oriented and neighbor-oriented,” said Kristan. “Everyone around here helps each other and makes the world go round. It’s truly special.”

Today, Les, Shelly, Lane and Kristan operate Haugen Ranch and hold the Haugen Ranch’s NDSA membership. They’ve been a member for many years because the NDSA has the best of North Dakota cattle producers in mind, Les said.

Before returning to the ranch full-time, Lane received a welding degree and worked in the oilfield, while staying active on the family’s operation. Now, that education serves as a means for making the ranch more self-sufficient. “From being able to do the repairs that are necessary to raising our own feed and making our own hay, we prefer to be self-sufficient in every way possible,” said Lane. “Everyone has a hand in the operation to do so, including our children, Henri and Ledger.” The family also said, with self-sufficiency, comes the ability to be sustainable and push the ranch’s goals to the next level. “We improve every day and strive to make things better,” said Lane.

“Being a rancher is a proud way to live,” said Les. “You make the best of your cattle, make a living and spend time with your family that is alongside you every day.” The next generation agreed as Kristan noted, “We are able to set our own goals and be self-motivated. We take pride every day in what we do.”

Les and Shelly look forward to seeing the next generation — their eight grandchildren, Hadley, Harley, Rio, River, Henri, Ledger, Tay and Rye — playing their own roles on the ranch and in life.

The Haugen Ranch is a North Dakota Centennial Heritage Ranch, receiving the honor in 2016. The Haugen family is a member of the NDSA, MonDak Stockgrowers Association, McKenzie County Grazing Association, North Dakota Farm Bureau, American Quarter Horse Association and MonDak Quarter Horse Association.

“The Haugen Ranch embodies North Dakota’s ranching spirit and work ethic,” said NDSA President Jeff Schafer, a New Rockford, N.D., cow-calf producer and feeder. “They are deserving of this prestigious award. Congratulations, Haugen Ranch.”

Anna was born in Granite Falls, Minn., on July 28, 1927, to Theodore and Josie (Strom) Ellingboe. Anna was the oldest surviving sister to five siblings: Cledith, Joanne, Esther, DeMaris and Tom. When she was a toddler, the family moved from the Midwest to Washington state, farming first in Poulsbo, Wash., and then in Sunnyslope, Wash. The family moved into town, Port Orchard, Wash., when the U.S. entered World War II. Anna graduated from South Kitsap High School in 1946. She went to Minneapolis, Minn., to further her education. She graduated from Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing in 1949 and graduated from the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Institute as a physical therapist in 1952. As a new professional, she worked with polio patients in the Midwest. Anna continued in her physical therapy occupation until she retired in 1986. She continued in her caring vocation all her life.

Anna married Walter Robert Pomerenk on Dec. 10, 1954, in Port Orchard. They made their first home in Vancouver, Wash., where they welcomed Rob in 1957, Julia in 1959 and Bill in 1965. The family lived in Renton, Wash., for a few years and then settled in Longview, Wash. In 1985, a year after her husband's death, Anna moved to Port Orchard to be near her mother. Anna lived in Ellensburg, Wash., and Tacoma, Wash., near family, before moving to Pullman with her daughter in 2003.

Wherever she lived, Anna was active in her church community. In Longview, she coordinated an annual fundraising carnival. In Port Orchard, she launched South Kitsap Family Kitchen, an ecumenical free dinner program. Anna volunteered for a year with N Street Village, in Washington D.C., where she worked with older, formerly homeless women. She made sturdy quilts for Lutheran World Relief and baby quilts for friends and family. Anna designed and sewed beautiful banners for church.

Anna cared for her father, her husband, her mother, and her sister, Esther, during their last years. They preceded her in death, as did her infant, older sister, Jane.

Anna's family thanks those who embraced Anna in their care: Trinity Lutheran Church faith community; High Street neighbors; ShopKo pharmacy staff; Pullman Regional Hospital staff; Palouse Medical staff; and Gentiva Hospice staff.

Thomas (Tom) Robert Ellingboe, 80, a long time Port Orchard resident, passed from this earth and into his savior’s arms on Friday, February 26, 2016, at Saint Joseph Hospital, Tacoma, Washington.

Tom was born on April 2, 1935, in Bremerton Washington, to Theodore and Josie Ellingboe. The youngest of 7 children, he attended Givens elementary school and South Kitsap Middle/High School.

At the age of 18, Tom joined the United States Marine Corps with his good friend Jerry, completing basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot, San Diego, California. Tom served his country in Korea and then in Japan, before returning stateside. He was fiercely proud of being a United States Marine, and to the end he was “Always Faithful”; Semper Fi.

After leaving military service Tom lived in California, worked as a carpet installer, and he had daughters Beth, and Darla. While in California, Tom also met the woman who became the love of his life, Linda Lee Aston. Tom and Linda were married on April 6th, 1963, and they had three children, Martin, Trina, and Kristen.

After moving back to Port Orchard, Tom briefly co-owned Port Orchard Carpets, before working in sales and management with Floor Decorators. At home, Tom was fond of singing while providing his own accompaniment with his beloved “Martin” guitar. He was blessed with a remarkable singing voice, and he loved to sing old country songs and the gospels. In his leisure time, Tom also was very fond of detailing his big cars, working in his yard, boating and completing projects around his house. He could also often be found hanging out with his friends at Myree’s for coffee and lots of good conversation.

A man of faith, Tom showed the same dedication, loyalty, and service to his Lord as he did to the Corps and to his family. With his strong faith in his Lord, Tom congregated with the Olalla Bible Church for many years, and was later a long time member of Grace Bible Church in Port Orchard. Throughout his life, and through many difficulties, Tom never questioned the Lords goodness or discounted his blessings, and he loved his God deeply.

Tom spent his final days caring for Linda in her struggles with health issues and until his final days could be found tending to her with loving dedication, devotion, and tenderness. Tom will be deeply missed by his many friends, co-workers, fellow Marines, and his loving family. He is with his Lord now, but he is forever in our hearts.

Tom was preceded in death by his father, mother, sisters Jane, Anna, and Esther. He is survived by his wife Linda, son Martin, daughters Beth, Darla, Trina, and Kristen, 13 grand-children, 13 great grand-children, brother Cledith, and sisters Joanne, and DeMaris.
