Trond married Berit Einarsdatter HEEN in 1787 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Berit (daughter of Einar Kristoffersen HEEN and Ingebjørg Knutsdatter EINANG) was born in 1761 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1806 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Iver married Velgjerd Trondsdotter BREKKE in 1812 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Velgjerd (daughter of Trond Jonsen ELLINGBØ and Guri Ivarsdatter TUNE) was born in 1788/1789 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1815 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Trond had been a farmer at Sygarde, Uvdal (gnr. 2/2) from 1833 to 1850. He took over the farm Bokkadn, i Bøkko, N. Ellingbø (now gnr. 33/3) in the Spring of 1850 when the previous owner, Jon Øysteinsson Ellingbø (Bø), emigrated to America with his family. Trond acquired the name Ellingbøe with the farm and kept it when he emigrated with his wife and 8 children (plus 2 granddaughters) in the spring (22 March) of 1862. Trond sold Bøkko to Knut Iversson Eltun on 25 April 1868 for 500 spd. It was said that Embrik and Helge Ellingbøe bought Bøkko from Trond and then sold half to Knut, and that Jon Endresson and Torstein, Helge's sons, each took over half of the remaining part (i.e., 1/4 part each). Most of the information after emigration of Trond and Kjersti was obtained from Lee Ann Ellingboe Randall.

He may be the Thomas Thompson, 56, living in Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County, in the 1870 census. The household consisted of Thomas, 56, Calista, 53, May 27, Ever 27, Andrew, 17, Betsey, 16, Ada, 12, Thomas, 11, and Betsey, 6. Only the younger Betsey was born in Minnesota. Next door was Torger Thompson with son Thomas, 6, and daughter Sarah, 3, both children born in Minnesota.

Trond settled in Renville County in 1871. According to the History of Renville County:

“Trond I. Ellingboe settled on section 4 {presumably of Wang Twp} in the fall of 1871, and lived there the remainder of his life.”

Land records show that the Benson land office issued Thrond I Ellingboe a 120 acre homestead on 3 Jun 1884. The land description is as follows:

1 S½SW 5TH PM No 116 N 38 W 4
2 SWSE 5TH PM No 116 N 38 W 4

In the 1880 census. Trond, age 66, was a farmer in Wang Township of Renville County. He lived with his wife, Kjirsti, age 64, and their son Thrond, age 22. A few farms away lived another of Trond’s sons, Andris (A. T.).

In the 1900 census, Trond, 87 (born Feb 1813) and widowed, was living with his daughter, Synneva Loe’s family in Wang Township. Synneva, age 53 (born Jul 1846), was married 23 years to Ole Loe, age 52 (born January of 1848). Synneva had borne 11 children, 6 still living. Their children at home at the time were Syver, 22 (born Sept 1877), Kirsti, 18 (born Mar 1882), and Gudbrand, 13 (born Oct 1886). Ole owned the farm. Ole had emigrated from Norway in 1872, Trond and Synneva in 1862.

From the Wang Township section of the History of Renville County:”Trond I. Ellingboe settled on section 4 in the fall of 1871, and lived there the remainder of his life. He died at the age of 89 years.”

Notes:

Born in Uvdal 2/2 Sygardé. Resided in Bøkkadn 33/3 av Ellingbø between 1850 and 1862. Emigrated to the U.S. in the spring of 1862 with her parents, siblings, and 2 daughters (one by Ola, one by Nils).

Hun hadde datteren Kirsti (1853-) med Nils Trondsen Tune og datteren Anne 1857- med Ola Endresen Ellingbø. Begge barna tok hun med seg da hun dro til Amerika i 1862.

Velgjerd Trondsdtr first married Nils Trondsen TUNE, son of Trond Nilsen WANGENSTEEN (1803-1875) & Berit Andrisdtr HAMRE (1810-1847). Born on 11 Aug 1835 in Tune 36/2 nørre, Nordigarden. Nils Trondsen died in Tune 36/2 nørre, Nordigarden on 29 Sep 1879, he was 44. Buried in Vang kirkegård.

They had one child:

They had one child:
i. Anne Olsdtr. Born in 1857 in Bøkkadn 33/3 av Ellingbø. Emigrated in 1862 to the USA.

This second reference to emigrating in 1866 and living in Fisher can’t be confirmed. We know that Velgjerd, unmarried, came to the U.S. with her parents in 1862. More likely is that Velgjerd met up with Thorsten Boe when she got to the U.S. and had Berit.

Velgjerd may have died before 1870. Jim’s site says that she died in 28 Dec 1865 in Goodhue County.

He is probably the Ivar Throndson Ellingboe, “from the Vang Congregation,” who contributed money to the start-up of St. Olaf College.

Apparently went by the name of Thompson at the time of the 1880 census. The family is shown, living on a farm in Warsaw, Goodhue County, as: Iver Thompson, age 36, his wife Ambjor, 29, son Trond, 7, daughter Kjirsti, 5, son Erik, 3, and son Iver, 10 months (born in July of 1879). The family had a servant living with them named Thorwald Hanson, age 20.

Apparently he is the Iver Throndson Ellingboe buried in Vang Cemetery. Born 8 Oct 1843, died 29 April 1881. He would have died just shortly after his youngest son was conceived.

Or Synnøve.

Resided in Bøkkadn 33/3 av Ellingbø between 1850 and 1862.

Synnøve Trondsdtr died in Wang township, Renville County, on 17 Feb 1929. She emigrated in 1862 to the USA. She and Syver had 3 children together and moved to Renville County. After Syver's death in 1874 she moved back to Goodhue County with her 3 sons. In 1877 she married Ole G. Loe and they had 3 children, Sever, Gilbert and Christine. They then moved back to the homestead in Renville county, where she lived until she died in 1929.

Not in Minnesota in the 1870 census.

In the 1880 census, Ole G., 32, and Soneva, 33, were living in Wang Township, Renville County. Their children were Christ, 12, Thrond, 9, Iver, 6, Sever, 2, and Marit, age 5 months and born in January.

In the 1900 census, Trond Ellingboe, 87 (born Feb 1813) and widowed, was living with his daughter, Synneva Loe’s family in Wang Township. Synneva, age 53 (born Jul 1846), was married 23 years to Ole Loe, age 52 (born January of 1848). Synneva had borne 11 children, 6 still living. Their children at home at the time were Syver, 22 (born Sept 1877), Kirsti, 18 (born Mar 1882), and Gudbrand, 13 (born Oct 1886). Ole owned the farm. Ole had emigrated from Norway in 1872, Trond and Synneva in 1862. Living next door was Ivar Soine and family, Synneva’s son from her first marriage.

In the 1910 census, Ole G., age 62, and “Soneva”, age 63, were living in Wang Township of Renville County with their son Gilbert O., age 23 (who was listed as head of the household), and their daughter, Christine, 28. Synneve and Ole are shown to have been married for 33 years although the “M1” next to Ole and the “M2” next to Synneva may mean that Ole was Synneva’s 2nd husband. Synneva has had 11 children, 6 still living, although this entry is erroneously shown for the single Christine. Next door, also a head of household, is Sever O. Loe, 32, single.

Ole G. and Soneva were living with Sever in Wang in the 1920 census. Sever may have been widowed at this point: the census form is not clear.

Died:
death indexed as “Mrs. Syneva Soe”

Synneva married Sigurd Kristofferson (Syver C) SOINE on 6 Jul 1867 in Goodhue County, Minnesota. Sigurd (son of Christopher Larssen SØYNE and Anne Sjugurdsdatter LAJORD) was born on 26 Oct 1842 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 11 Jul 1874 in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Synneva married Ole Gudbrandsen LOE in 1877 in Kenyon, Goodhue County, Minnesota. Ole (son of Gudbrand Olsen HØVERSTAD and Marit Ivarsdatter ELTUN) was born on 20 Jan 1848 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 16 Oct 1925 in Renville County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

He died in Granite Falls between November of 1893 and June 7, 1900. A history of Chippewa and Lac qui Parle Counties says that he died in 1896.

In the 1885 state census, he and his family live in Granite Falls. The children listed are Cristina, Thomas, and Mary.

He is probably the Henry Thompson, 29, living with his wife Mary, 31, and daughter Christina, 8, in Granite Falls Twp, Chippewa County, Minnesota, in the 1880 census.

He is also probably the person referred to in the Dalby database on southern Minnesota deaths and cemeteries: “Ellingboe, Henry T., b. 1850, d. 1895, resident of Yellow Medicine County, Minnesota burial site unknown.”

According to the History of Renville County, Helge Ellingboe settled in the area (”just over the line in Granite Falls township”) in 1870.

Helge married Marit (Mary) Torsteinsdatter SPARSTAD on 14 Oct 1870 in Goodhue County, Minnesota. Marit (daughter of Torstein Olsen SPARSTAD and Marit Kristoffersdatter HEEN) was born on 23 Feb 1848 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 19 Aug 1934 in Maynard, Chippewa County, Minnesota; was buried on 23 Aug 1934 in Wangs Lutheran Church Cemetery, Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota.

He may be the Anders Ellingboe who was a student at St. Olaf Academy for one year in 1875.

Land records show that the Benson land office issued Andrew T. Ellingboe a 120 acre homestead in Section 4 of Renville County on 15 Dec 1883. The land description is as follows:

1 E½SE 5TH PM No 116 N 38 W
2 NWSE 5TH PM No 116 N 38 W

In the 1880 census, A. T. Ellingboe was a farmer in Wang Township, Renville County. A.T. was 27, his wife Betsey was 28, their daughter Betsey was 1 and their son Thrond was 2. They lived a few farms away from A. T.’s parents. (A. T. was also a census enumerator in Renville County for the 1880 census.)

In the 1885 state census they are in Wang Twp, Renville County. Their postal address is Sacred Heart.

In the 1900 census, Andrew, age 47 (born Aug 1852), was a farmer in Wang Township of Renville County. His family consisted of his wife Marit, age 38 (born Dec 1861), son Trond, 22 (Oct 1877), Kirsti, 19 (Feb 1881), Endre, 16 (June 1883), Ivar, 14 (June 1885), Anders, 12 (Sep 1887), Clara, 9 (July 1890), Esther, 2 (Mar 1898), and George 8/12 (Sep 1899). Andrew and Marit had been married for 3 years. She had borne 2 children, both still living. Andrew emigrated in 1862, Marit in 1866.

A 1900 land ownership map of Granite Falls Twp in Chippewa County shows A T Ellingboe owning an 80 parcel with A. F. Kattevold. The parcel is the eastern half of the southeast quarter of Section 12. Contiguous with this parcel is another parcel the two of them owned in Wang Twp, Renville County. That Renville County parcel, in the 1900 land ownership map of Wang Twp, was 30.6 acres in Section 7, adjacent to a 60 acre parcel owned by M. Ellingboe.

In a 1913 land ownership map of Wang Twp in Renville County, A T Ellingboe owns a continuous parcel of 276 acres in Sections 3, 4, and 9.

In the 1920 census, he is A. T. Ellingboe, 67, living with his wife Marit, 56, and grown children Esther B., George G., and Agnes M., in Wang Twp, Renville County. Living next door or, more probably, on the same farm, are households headed by sons Endre and the single Iver as well as his nephew Thrond.

He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books) but his entry specifically says he was not a member of the Samband.

From “History of the Minnesota Valley,” published in 1882 for Renville County:

Ellingboe, A. T. A. T. Ellingboe was born in Norway, August 13, 1852, and when nine years old immigrated with the family to Goodhue county, Minnesota. He attended common school and St. Olaf’s College, Northfield.

Betsey Leen became his wife December 16, 1876; Tom, Betsy, and Christina are their children.

From the History of Renville County:

“A triple wedding in which the hearts of six young people of Wang were made happy was one of the notable events of the early days. The ceremony was performed by that beloved pioneer preacher, the Rev. John Berg, in a schoolhouse located on the land of P. C. Brevig in Hawk Creek township. The contracting parties were A. T. Ellingboe and Betsy Lien, daughter of Anders Lien; Ole Erickson Drambroten and Anna Stende, the daughter of Anders Stende, and Gullick Helger- son Weflen and Martha Johnson Tandborg, daughter of Peter Tandborg.”

Also from the History of Renville County, also via the Dalby Database, published in 1916:

A. T. Ellingboe was born in Norway, Aug. 13, 1852, and was brought to America in 1861 by his parents, Thrond I. and Kjirsti Kjirtsen, with his three brothers, Iver, Henry and Thron, and his four sisters, Veljer, Kjersti, Soneva and Berit, the voyage taking eleven weeks. The family came to Goodhue county, July 4, and made their home there. Here A. T. received his education at the common school and then spent one year at St. Olaf's College at Northfield, Minn. In 1873 he moved to Renville county, where he secured a homestead in section 4, Wang township, where he has lived ever since. Mr. Ellingboe has held many positions of public trust. In 1876 he was elected town clerk of Wang, which position he has held ever since. In 1877 he was elected justice of the peace, which office he also has held ever since. In 1878 he became clerk for School District No. 44. In 1880, 1890 and 1910 he was appointed enumerator of the census of Wang, Hawk Creek and Ericson toenships. In 1902 he was elected treasurer of the Hawk Creek Farmers' Mutual Insurance Co., and has held the office ever since. He was postmaster of New Lisbon for eighteen years. Mr. Ellingboe was married Dec. 16, 1876, to Berit E. Lien, daughter of Endre K. Lien and Berit (Gjevre) Lien, natives of Norway, who came from Norway in 1866. Nine children were born to this union, six of whom are living. Thron, born Oct. 6, 1877, died Sept. 18, 1913. Bertha, born April 10, 1879, married Gilbert Strand in 1914 and has one child, Bertha lola Marie. Christine, born Feb. 13, 1881, has been a teacher for ten years. Endre, born June 10, 1883, is a farmer in section 10. Wang township, and married to Gina Lofsgorden, June, 1912. Iver, born June 10, 1885, is a farmer in section 10, Wang township.

Mr. Ellingboe was married a second time to Marit G. Gjevre, Aug. 1, 1897. She was a cousin of his first wife, and daughter of Gunder and Gro (Helgeson) {rjevre, natives of Norway, who came to America on the same ship as the parents of his first wife. Three children were born by this marriage: Esther, born in 1898, a student at Madison, Minn.; George, born Sept. 25, 1899, at home on the farm, and Agues, born Sept. 3, 1901, student at Maynard public schools, Maynard, Minn.

From Valdres Pioneer Tales from "Budstikken," May 1971 page 12:

It is a hundred years since the Valdres people first invaded what was to become Wang Township, Renville county Minnesota in a mass. Other settlers had come earlier: Christian O. Narvestad, Hans Grotvedt, and Theodore Rongerud, three brothers; together with Hans Gunderson and Christian Engebretson had come in June, 1867.

The first Valdreses apparently were Thomas Christofferson Lerhol and Anders Thomason Kjersten who came from Vang, Valdres in 1868. But it was not until 1871 that the great migration started and it continued until they filled the whole countryside. Among the early Valdreser were Andrew E. Rogen, Ole Halvorson Holien (Skalberg), George Halvorson Holien (Skalberg), Peter Iverson, Endre' K. Holien, Iver Oie, Iver Nystuen, Helge Evanson (Holien), H. Ellingboe, Andrew T. Ellingboe, Tosten Olson Hamre, Siver Guttormson Strand, Ole O. Strand, Ove Strand, H. H. Weflen, Ingebret Thompson, George C. Heen, Christopher Gulbrandson Heen, Mrs. Mary Ostrem Boe, Ole Thompson Grover, Gullik Weflen, Trond I. Ellingboe, Erick Erickson Viken, Trond Engebretson, Engebret Engebretson, Knute Weflen, Hans O. Berg, Ole Christopherson Soine, Ole O. Belsem, Knud Knudson Viken, Gunder O. Gjevre, Ole O. Grov, Thomas K. Weflen, Evert M. Strand, the Loes, Thorkelsons and others.

The township was organized on July 28, 1875 and the first election was held at the home of Elling Johnson. Elling was elected chairman; Ole C. Soine and O. T. Grover, supervisors; Nils Norman was elected clerk but did not qualify so A. T. Ellingboe was appointed to the post which he held for half a century. At the first regular election C. A. Evenson was elected chairman; Erick Viken and O. T. Grover, supervisor; A. T. Ellingboe, clerk, Elling Johnson, assessor; P. L. Brevig, treasurer; K. K. Viken, justice of the peace; and O. K. Williams, constable.

The township was named Wang in honor of Vang, Valdres, as is also the local church, which recently celebrated its 85th anniversary.

Throughout the century the Valdres have been in a majority in the township and continue to be so today. Not only are the Loes, Soines, Ellingboes, Haugens, Lerohls, Strands. etc.. Valdres but many names like Dembroten, Narvestad, etc. represent half-breed Veldreses.

These pioneers came with oxen and covered wagons shortly after the Indian uprisings were over. They still had to fight mosquitos, grasshoppers, prairie fires, droughts, and blizzards. Throughout the century the Valdres have been in the majority in township offices and continue to be so today.

The Wang Township section of the History of Renville County says Andrew T. Ellingboe and Ole O. Belsem (#16300) “came together with the caravan, Ellingboe furnishing a yoke of oxen and Belsem the wagon.”

Funeral services for Mrs. Velgjer Svien, who passed away at her home Saturday morning, January 24, were held in St. John's Lutheran church this afternoon at 2 p.m. with the pastor the Rev. B. R. Biorn officiating. Burial was made in the family lot beside the graves of her husband and four children. Pallbearers were six grand-nephews, Elmer, Clarence, Luther, George, Paul and Maurice Nystuen. Velgjer Nystuen Svien was born in Norway on October 10, 1842. After the death of her mother, Mr. Nystuen came to America with his family when Velgjer was 11 years of age. The trip from Norway to Quebec, Canada in 1854 took seven weeks aboard the slow sailing ship. The Nystuens first settled in Spring Prairie, Wis. and later moved to St. Ansgar, Iowa. It was there in 1860 that Velgjer married Andrew Svien. They moved to Goodhue county, Minnesota in 1865 where they were engaged in farming until 1876 when they moved to Northfield. She and her husband operated a hotel on Division Street. Mr. Svien also served as policeman. Mrs. Svien was a charter member of the Ladies Aid society of St. John's church and a long time member of the congregation. Mr. Svien passed away inn 1927. For several years she continued to reside at the home on Washington Street. She was cared for later in a rest home and at the time of her death was being cared for by her grandson and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. William Lockren. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Hans Bergan, Lake Mills, Iowa; six grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. A foster daughter, Mrs. H. E. Frazee (Susie) of Pelican Rapids, also survives.

The state’s oldest resident, Mrs. Velgjer Svien, passed away Friday, Jan. 23,1953, at the age of 110 years, 3 months, and 13 days. Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. B. R. Biorn at St. Johns Lutheran church Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 2 oclock. Gertrude Boe Overby was soloist and Mrs. H. J. Westwood was organist. Burial was beside her husband in Northfield cemetery.

Velgjer Nystuen was born at Valdres, Norway, Oct. 10, 1842. After the death of her mother which occurred when Velgjer was only eight, she came with her father and his other children to the United States in 1854. The trip across the ocean was made on a sailing vessel, taking eleven weeks. The familys first home was in Spring Prairie, Wis. After three years they moved to St. Ansgar, la., and it was here in 1860 that Velgjer was married to Andrew J. Svien. She was then 18 years of age. In 1865 Mr. and Mrs. Svien moved to a farm in Goodhue county, Minnesota. Northfield became their home in 1876 and for the remaining years of their lives. Mr. Svien died in 1926, and Mrs. Svien spent 77 years as a resident here. For a time Mr. and Mrs. Svien had a hotel on Division street in the building now occupied by the Berg and Son Upholstery business, but Mr. Svien is better remembered by the generations of his day as the town policeman, an affable man faithfully walking his beat. Mrs. Svien’s recipe for long life, “Don’t hurry,” she practiced indeed. She never allowed herself to be hurried or worried, taking each moment, as well as each day, as it came, and maintaining a serenity rarely found in this mechanized day of speed. She enjoyed remarkably good health and strength for her advanced years. On her 100th birthday she sat through an afternoon of festivities in her honor given by the ladies aid at St. John’s church, and she showed no weariness from the experience. She was a charter member of the ladies aid and a member of the church. That birthday was also marked by an interview with her on the radio, as well as another party given her at her home, at which about 100 relatives and friends came to greet her. On her 105th birthday another sizable celebration was held at her home. This too she enjoyed thoroughly, making frequent trips outside to pose for pictures. Until she was 98 Mrs. Svien lived alone and took care of her home and of herself. Her daughter Carrie, Mrs. Lervik, then came to live with her. The daughter passed away after a few years. Seven years ago a grandson, William Lockren, and Mrs. Lockren came to care for Mrs. Svien. She clung to the practice of ministering to her own needs until frailty prevented, and that was only about three years ago. The Sviens had two sons and two daughters: Carrie, John, Tom, and Anna, all of whom have died; also a foster daughter, Susie, Mrs. H. E. Frazee, who lives in Pelican Rapids. There are six grandchildren,10 great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren. Mrs. Svien has one sister living, Mrs. Hans Bergan, Lake Mills, la. Mrs. Bergan is in her 90s. The pallbearers for Mrs. Svien were all grandnephews. They were all Nystuens, Elmer, Clarence, Luther, George, Paul, and Maurice. Mrs. Svien had seen in her life-time a panorama of marvelous changes—from sailing vessels to steamboats to aircraft; from prairie and woodland country to cities and paved highways; from covered wagons and horses to trains and automobiles. She had seen the wonders of science bring in the telephone, the electric light, the phonograph, the radio, and television. She had seen her country in the throes of five wars; The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the present Korean conflict. She had lived in this country under 20 presidents. Franklin Pierce was president when she arrived in 1854. The Civil War was raging when she came with her husband to Goodhue county. And their arrival in Northfield was the same year the James-Younger raid invaded the city and met its Waterloo. Her life in the Midwest embraced the period of the development of this great area from its rudest beginnings.

Notes:

Erick (“Erik”) and his family were living in Warsaw Township, Goodhue County, in the 1910 census. The family consisted of Erick, 33, his wife Johanna, 28, their daughter Ammanda, 4, their son Ivar, 2, and Erick’s mother Ambjor, 60. Johanna is shown to have had 2 children, both still living. Johanna and Erick had been married for 5 years.

He is probably the E. I. Ellingboe who is shown as owning 120 acres in Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County, in a 1914 land ownership atlas. His farm consists of two parcels: 1) an 80 acre parcel that is the eastern half of the northeast quarter of Section 29, and 2) a 40 acre parcel that is the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 20. The two parcels touch at a corner.

Registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Red Wing as Erick Ellingboe, born March 21, 1877, and living at Route #2, Dennison, Goodhue County. He is a farmer. His nearest relative is Mrs. Johanna Ellingboe of Route #2, Dennison. Erick is tall and of stout build. There is no entry for the color of his eyes or hair.

In the 1920 census, Erick (now spelled correctly) and his family are still living in Warsaw Township. The family consisted of Erick, 42, Johanna, 36, Ivar, 12, Edward, 9, and Erick 6. Living on the farm next door is a 14 year old servant girl name Gurianna Ellingbo. The handwriting is poor: that servant girl may be Amanda Ellingboe.

In the 1930 census, Erick (now spelled correctly) and his family were still living in Warsaw Township. The family consisted of Erick, 52, his wife Bertha J., 46, his mother Ambjor, 79, daughter Amanda B., 23, son Iver, 21, son Edward, 19, and son Erick J., 16. There is no entry in the column for how long Erick and Bertha had been married. Bertha J. is probably the same person as Johanna Ellingboe. Erick Jr.’s mother’s maiden name is shown, in his death certificate, as Svien.

Next door to Erick lived Ole Egland, wife Martha, and son Arthur A. who, apparently, later married Erick’s daughter Amanda.

He owned 1 share of the Nerstrand Farmers Mercantile and Elevator Company as of January of 1959.

Notes:

In the 1900 census, he is a boarder with his brother Thrond on the farm of Kari Lee, a 76 year-old widow (#23958) in Newburg Twp, Mitchell County, Iowa. This household includes two of Kari’s single daughters (Carrie, 41, and Julia, 39) as well as Kari’s 103 year-old (!) mother-in-law, Guri.

In the 1905 Pueblo, Colorado, city directory, he is Iver Ellinghoe, laborer, boarding at 1019 Northern Avenue.

In the 1909 Pueblo city directory, he is Ivar Ellingboe, an employee of the Steel Works. He resides at 2132 E Routt Avenue.

In the 1910 census, he lived at 1307 Cypress Street in Pueblo, Colorado, where he works at a steel mill. His wife is Nellie. They have been married for four years and it is the first marriage for each. Nellie has had one child, no longer living. Included in the household is Oscar Lee, 50, born in Iowa, “cousin” and a 31 year-old male, name illegible, roomer.

In the 1915 Pueblo city directory, his wife is Mary and he is a steel worker. They live at 1307 Cypress.

The 1916 directory includes a Theresa Ellingboe, clerk, also living at 1307 Cypress. She is a step-daughter of Iver’s, the daughter of Mary with John Grome.

Iver registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Pueblo County. Because the name of his employer (Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.) was stamped on the card, the company probably arranged the registration for its employees. At that time Iver and his wife Mary were living at 1027 Pine in Pueblo. He was described as tall and of slender build with brown eyes and light hair. He had lost the end of his right index finger after the second joint.

In the 1920 census, he is still working for the steel mill in Pueblo.

In the 1930 census, he is still working for the steel mill in Pueblo as a melter foreman.

In the 1931 Pueblo city directory, he is a melter for CF&I. He resides St. Charles Mesa.

In the 1940 census, he and Mary L live in Pueblo. He is a melter in a steel mill. He had been educated through the fourth grade, his wife through the fifth grade. Also part of their household was Rose Ann Southers, age 13, niece, and Peggy Ellingboe, age 7, daughter. Peggy and Rose Ann had also lived with Ivar and Mary at this house in 1935. Peggy and Rose Ann were born in Utah. The next census entry after Ivar was for his son Robert and Robert’s wife Ann E and son Robert Jr. Rose was the daughter of Van and Josephine Southers. The family was recorded in the 1930 census in Utah. Van Southers was born in Georgia and may have been a brother of Mary L. No Ellingboes were ever born in Utah so we don’t know who Peggy is. She could not have been the natural daughter of Mary L.

The 1945 Pueblo city directory shows Iver as a melter for CF&I.

His employment record at CF&I shows he worked for that company continuously between about 1902 to at least May of 1945. Along the way he lost one of his index fingers. The company employment card listed him as 5 ft 10.5 inches tall, 160.5 lbs., dark grey eyes and light brown hair.

Iver married Nellie D about 1906, and was divorced on 26 Mar 1912 in Pueblo County, Colorado. Nellie was born about 1888 in Australia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

His death certificate, for which Walter Ellingboe of Maynard was the informant, says, incorrectly, that Thomas never married. He died from a heart arhythmia and from gangrene of his extremities.

According to Joann, who remembers Thomas at the Odd Fellows Home, Thomas had been a “rubber man” in the circus. He had many tattoos, was very thin, and had few, if any, visitors.

In a 1913 land ownership atlas of Wang Twp in Renville County, “T. T. Ellingboe” owned two separate parcels in or near the village or community of New Lisbon.

Notes:

His Arizona birth certificate makes no mention of his being adopted.

According to the 1930 census, Robert was an adopted son. His father had been born in Georgia and his mother in the U.S. That suggests that he may be a Southers too, perhaps a son of one of Mary Lee’s brothers.

In the 1940 census, he and Ann E and Robert Jr. live next to or with his father and mother. He was a metal pourer at a steel mill. He had two years of high school.

In the 1943 Pueblo, Colorado, city directory, Robt I “Ellingbol” and his wife, Anna E, lived at 2005 West Arroyo Ave. He was a steelworker.

His employment record with CF&I shows that he served in the U.S. Marines from 15 Jul 1943 to 8 Nov 1945. He had only three years of high school.

The 1945 Pueblo, Colorado, city directory shows Robert and Anna living at 2614 E Routt Avenue. Robert is in the USA (probably U.S. Army). Anna is an operator at MSH&TCo.

He is not in the 1948 Pueblo directory.

Bennard Ellingboe

NORTHFIELD -- Bennard Ellingboe, age 84 of Cannon Falls and formerly of Dennison, died Monday, Feb. 23, 2004, at the Emergency Room of the Cannon Falls Hospital. He died while attending a friend’s funeral at the Wangen Prairie church.

Funeral Services will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Dennison Lutheran Church in Dennison. Burial at the Wangen Prairie Cemetery with full military honors. Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Bierman Funeral Home in Northfield.

His obit in the Northfield News:

Bennard I. Ellingboe was born on Aug. 14, 1919, in the quaint rural town of Dennison located in Rice County. His parents were Anna Svien Ellingboe and John Ellingboe. He died while attending a friends funeral at Wangen Prairie Church, on Feb. 23, 2004. The funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. today at Dennison Lutheran Church, and the burial will follow at Wangen Prairie cemetery. Visitation was from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at Bennards favorite funeral home, Bierman Funeral Home.

Bennard grew up on the Ellingboe family farm in Dennison. He attended school in the area. He worked on his parents farm until the age 22, when he was drafted into the Army and served in World War II. He served in the 45th Thunderbird Division, infantry, and bravely fought in three major battles -- Sicily, Anzio Beachhead and the march through Italy to capture Rome. By the end of the capture of Rome, Bennard was one of a few in his battalion of soldiers to survive. The Battalion was disbanded. He then transferred to France, where he worked in the 1203 Engineers fire department. He finally returned home to the Dennison area in September 1945.

During his tour in Europe, Bennard wrote letters to his girlfriend, Evelyn Frettem, back home. Bennard and Evelyn married on July 28, 1946, at Wangen Prairie Church. Bennard and Evelyn bought a former church parsonage in Dennison and raised their four children -- John, Paul, Helen and James. Bennard and Evelyn spent 50-plus years in Dennison until moving to Cannon Falls in 2001. Bennard took advantage of the GI bill after returning from the Army and became an apprentice painter. He worked with Paul Kinsella, a local Northfield paint contractor. He was also self-employed for a time. He later went to work as a painter for Carleton College and for Sheldahl. However, he spent most of his painting career painting the dorms, homes and buildings owned by St. Olaf College. Bennard admirably chose to work for St. Olaf in 1961, so that his children would receive free college tuition at a Lutheran College.

Bennard was a member of the Vang Lutheran Church in Dennison before his marriage. He was a member of Dennison Lutheran Church since 1946. He served on the Church Council for many years. Bennard and Evelyn fondly attended and ate at all of the lutefisk suppers in Goodhue and Rice county churches. Bennard also served on the Dennison City Council. He was a member of the Sons of Norway, the VFW, and, of course, an active member in the Dennison Birthday Club. Bennard will be remembered for helping neighbors with getting their mail and helping them out whenever they needed it. He also helped Evelyn care for his mother-in-law for several years. Bennard had a great sense of humor! He loved to tell stories, often more than once. He and Evelyn attended practically every funeral of every friend and every relative since they were married. They had great conversations at every social event. Bennard and Evelyn truly appreciated the friendship of so many in the area, but especially the close friendship of Gene and Joyce Schrader and Dale Lilleskov. Bennards good pal, Orie Ims, provided hours and hours of political conversations.

Bennard was an excellent gardener. He enjoyed planting flowers on all the graves of family members each spring with Evelyn. They would take water in plastic containers and make sure each plant on the graves was watered when it had not rained. Bennard could make a seemingly dead plant spring back to life and bloom. This was analogous of Bennards ability to survive lifes obstacles thrown his way. Bennard was a real survivor: World War II, lutefisk and meatball suppers, fumes of latex, oil-based, and epoxy paint, diabetes and all those close calls with death from 1991 to Christmas 2003. On Thanksgiving Day, 2003, Bennard had a heart attack while still managing to accompany his grandchildren to "A Cat in the Hat," movie before agreeing to go United Hospital. Bennard survived several heart attacks, a stroke, bypass grafts, stents and finally a pacemaker. He took so many medications at the end that he had developed a close personal relationship with the pharmacist at Medicap in Northfield. Bennard is survived by his children: John (Linda), of Seattle, Wash.; Paul (Bonnie), of Plymouth; Helen Jones, of Sioux Falls, S.D. and James, of Cannon Falls; grandchildren: Cindy (husband Steve) and Kristin, of Seattle, Wash.; Meggan and Mason, of Plymouth; Jacob, Julia, and Jessica, of Grand Forks, N.D.; niece Elsa Frettem, of St. Paul and her friend Bernard Gonzales, and nephew, Peter Frettem, of Cannon Falls. Bennard was preceded in death by his wife, Evelyn Ellingboe, August 10, 2003; father and mother, John and Anna Ellingboe; brother and sister-in-law, Myron and Ada Ellingboe; and brother Arnold Ellingboe. Contributions in Bennards memory would be appreciated to Dennison Lutheran Church, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, or the Minnesota DFL Party.

From a letter to the editor of the Cannon Falls Beacon, dated July 13, 2004:

As the Fourth of July weekend approaches, I can’t help think about my recently deceased grandpa, Ben Ellingboe, who lived in Cannon Falls, and his love for politics. The many parades this weekend will undoubtedly bring politicians and their staff to towns all over Minnesota. As a Bronze Star veteran from World War II, Ben would have wanted everyone to thank the veterans who make peace possible and vote for those politicians who won’t cut funding from veteran’s health care programs.

Candice Soine writes:

Clarence was born 7 December 1897 in Maynard, Minnesota to Christopher and Betsey Soine. Betsey was very special to him and she taught him the 23rd Psalm. Also, Grandma Loe was very dear to him and took the place of his mother when she died. Clarence worked in his father's general store. He got his first suit for his Confirmation. It was handmade in Minneapolis and it cost $12. Clarence went to school through the 11th grade and was a very successful basketball player.

He saved $1800 and went to Concordia in Fargo-Moorhead. After a few months he received a telegram from his father saying that he should come home because he had used Clarence's money to buy a farm in Rolette, North Dakota. Clarence went to Rolette until the harvest and then went to Seattle by train to stay with his uncle, Hans, who was the general manager of BF Goodrich.

In 1924 Clarence went to Petersburg, Alaska, to work at the Trading Union in men's furnishings for four years. He returned to Yakima and became the assistant manager for Sears, and then was transferred to the Sears in Everett, Washington.

In June of 1933 Clarence bought out a bankrupt shoe store in Bellingham that had no woman's sized shoe over 4 1/2. He owned this family store for 50 years and prided himself on having served a large percentage of Whatcom County with proper fitting shoes.

Clarence married Ciceley Heath in 1931 and they had three children and seven grandchildren. Clarence called her Ciceley, Heath. Clarence and Ciceley traveled all over Europe and 'vacationed' in Hawaii many winters. Toward the end of his life, he was very close to being legally blind.

He died 21 December 1985 of complication from septic shock which destroyed a valve in his heart. He recited the 23rd Psalm from memory before he died and went peacefully in the presence of his wife and children.

Clarence was fascinated with his ancestors. He would tell me stories about his family history as he gave me his world famous foot massage. The only flaw in Clarence was that he loved lutefisk.

Clarence married Cicely HEATH on 26 Dec 1933 in Alberni, British Columbia, Canada. Cicely was born on 28 Apr 1907 in Alberni, British Columbia, Canada; died on 24 Apr 1995 in Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Gilbert Sunset Loe was born May 6, 1916 to Gilbert O. and Selma (Sunset) Loe in Grimstad Township, Roseau County Minnesota.

He attended Grimstad school and graduated from Roseau High School in 1933.  He attended Hanson School in Fargo one winter where he learned how to repair engines, a skill he used all of his life.

He was united in marriage to Pearl Brinkman on June 21, 1941 at the home of her parents.   They lived together on their farm in Grimstad Township for 68 years.  Their daughter, Carol Elaine, was born on December 6, 1944.

He had dairy cows and farmed together with his brothers, Manfred and Walter.  In 1956 he sold the cows because of Pearl's allergies, and beef cattle replaced the milk cows.  Bussing began at the Wannaska Consolidated School district in 1947 and he was one of the first drivers; a job that he enjoyed and told many stories about.  While driving school students to Roseau High School he worked as a mechanic at Jackson Pontiac-Buick in Roseau.  After more than 15 years as a bus driver he hauled milk for the Roseau milk drying plant until he had the opportunity to work for the Minnesota State Highway Department in road maintenance.  He and Pearl moved to Crookston for two years and then transferred to Roseau where he continued his work with the Minnesota Department of Transportation until his retirement on December 30, 1980.

He was a lay preacher and led worship services in many churches in the area.  He was named Roseau County Senior Citizen in 1994.  He led Sunday morning worship at the Northland Threshing Bee, and was honored for his many years of service to them in 2010.  He sold insurance for Roseau County Mutual for 32 years.  He and Pearl were very involved with the Four Seasons Senior Center in Roseau; having a new building was a milestone in their activity with Four Seasons.  Lefse making and countless other activities at the Center filled their days. He was a lifelong member of Riverside Lutheran Church where he was the head usher for many years as well as participated in many other activities of the church.

He and Pearl enjoyed traveling, including two trips to Norway.  In 1998 they traveled there with Selmer and Carol and visited the homes of  his grandparents.  They also had many trips while Pearl was involved with the Women's Christian Temperance Union on the local, state, national and world level.  The farm was always the best place and he lived there until he was 98 years old.  In 2014 he became a resident of Oak Crest Senior Housing in Roseau and in September, 2016 he moved to LifeCare Roseau Manor.  There he died on March 24, 2017.

He enjoyed several hobbies which included reloading ammunition and hunting in Wyoming with his sons. He was also a licensed amateur radio operator. A dream come true for him was getting his private pilot’s license and having his own planes and airstrip. Restoring old tractors also gave him many years of pleasant pastime.

What Walter enjoyed most over the years was the opportunity the Lord gave him to serve as a lay pastor throughout the area. He was blessed to assist Pastor Bob with services, Bible studies, Sunday school, and as a youth group leader. It was an incredible blessing for Walter to meet and have fellowship with all the various congregations.

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.

Those who knew Tom knew that he was a casual man, and that he loved his flannel shirts. Tom would be honored if you felt it appropriate to wear yours to his tribute service on the 12th.
