Jim’s notes:

Han drev gården fra 1843. Han hadde lånt masse penger og måtte til slutt selge den på tvangsauksjon i 1853. Nils (Kattevold) Bøe kjøpte den. Ole og Berthe leide seg noen mål på Kvåle, hvor moren hans var fra. De døde begge på Kvåle. De hadde sju barn. To døde meget unge. Martha Kattevold (1846- ) Andris Kattevold (1849-) og Berit Kattevold (1852-) var født på Kattevoll Margaret Kattevold (1857- ) Andris (Andrew) Kattevold (1859-), Bøye (1864- ) Kristoffer (1868- ), Alle barna reiste til USA

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 16 Dec 1838, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is I8781 in Jim’s VS.

Although she is illegitimate, her parents later married.

Anders Olsen Kattevold was her “responsible person” or principal sponsor at her baptism. That Andris (I1993 in Jim’s VS) was gaardbrukar of Kattevold 45/ Øvre at the time of Randi Erichdatter’s birth. Other baptismal sponsors listed for Randi were: Niels Nielsen Böe, Christopher Tostensen Kattevold, Margrethe Christopherdatter Kattevold, and Anne Johannesdatter Böe.

There was no other Randi Eriksdatter shown as born in Vang around 1838. Randi’s parents, Erich Christopherssen Qvale, age 36, and the maiden Kjersti Endresdatter Kattevold, age 26, later married in Vang on 7 Jun 1842. For this marriage his father was Christopher Tostenson and her father was Endre Thronsen.

Quite incorrectly, Jim’s VS shows this Randi marrying Andris Thomassen Høyne, b. 1830, and having four children with him between 1857 and 1862 in Vestre Slidre.

In the 1865 Norwegian census, Rangdi Eriksdatter, age 28, seamstress, and her daughter Berit Jakopsdatter, age 5, both born in Vang, were lodgers on the Anders Olsen farm on Søndrebøe østre 37/ in the Hoved Sogn subparish in the Vang parish.

Notes:

She is Marit Olsdatter Lajord (#I22262) in Jim’s Valdres Slekt tree. In that tree, her parents are Ola Christopherson Kvåle (1809-1903) and Berit Torsteinsdatter Kattevold (1821-1885).

She is Marit Olsdatter Qvale, #I8255, in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. In that tree, her parents are Ole Christopherson Qvale (1809-1903) and Kjersti Simonsdatter Søyne (1812-1864).

The Ellingboe tree record is the more recently modified, suggesting that it is more authoritative. The Vang birth record confirms that Marith was the daughter of the unmarried couple Ole Christopherson Qvale and Kirsti Simonsdatter Lajord.

Jim’s notes for Marit in his Ellingboe tree:

Marit was the illegitimate daughter of Ole Christopherson Kvåle and Kirsti Simonsdatter Lajord (or Søyne), according to the Vang church books, but I could not find anything about this in Anders Frøholm's Vang A.

The emigration records for Vang show that on 22 Mar 1862, Marith Olsdotter Ellingböe, widow, age 27, intended to travel to America with her two sons, Ole Olson (age 6) and Jörgen Olson (age 4). Marit was married in 1857 to Ola Jørnsson (born 1831, died between 1859 and 1862), who farmed a piece of land called "Plassen, Nørre Plassen or Jørnplassen, under Ellingbø, Nigarden, no. 33/1.”

According to the 1885 Minnesota census, her son Andrew was born in Ontario, although Arta Juneau believes that he was born soon after Marit's arrival in Northfield, Minnesota, where her brother Tosten Quamme was already living. Apparently she never remarried and had a difficult life, dying in her sixties.

Marith, 27 a widow, Ole, 6, and Jørgen, 4, left Vang for Amerika on March 22, 1862, through Bergen. This was the same day that Thrond Iverson Ellingboe (#3164) left Vang for America with his family. In Marit’s emigration record there is no mention of Andrew. In a Norway Lake church record, Marit, as Ole’s mother, is reported to have come to Goodhue County in 1862 and to Norway Lake in 1868.

Could not find an entry for Andrew’s birth in the Vang parish record.

In the 1870 census, Mary and her three boys are living on the Cal Johnson farm in Benson Twp, Chippewa County, Minnesota.

In the 1875 Minnesota census, she is Mary Olsen, 29, living with her three boys in Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County.

In the 1880 census, Marit and her three boys are living on the V. J. Finstad farm in Kerkhoven Twp. George, 21, is “teaching.” Also living on that farm were Marit Ellingboe, a 46 year-old widow, “housekeeper”, and Marit’s two sons, Ole, 23, and Andew, 18. All four of these Ellingboes were born in Norway.

In the 1885 census she is living in Kerkhoven Twp with her sons Ole, 28, and Anders, 22, as well as Erland Johnson, 21, of Norway. Anders is shown as born in Ontario.

There is a gravestone for Marith O. Ellingboe in the Sunburg cemetery that provides the 1885 death date.

She was a charter member of West Norway Lake Lutheran Church.

Marit married Ola Jørgensson ELLINGBØ on 20 Oct 1857 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Ola (son of Jørgen Evensson ELLINGBÖ and Anne Thomasdatter HAGASTRØND) was born in 1831 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died before 1862 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From Carole H.’s write-up for the Norway Lake church’s history:

Tosten Olson Quamme and Marit Tostendatter Sondrol, Charter Members West Norway Lake Lutheran

Tosten Olson was born 19 June 1841 in Vang Parish, Valdres Norway to Ole Christopherson Qvale [1809-1903] and Kjersti Simonsdatter [1812-1864]. He had one sister Marit born in 1836.

Tosten emigrated in 1864. He first settled in Rice County. In 1867 he was one of a group of Valdres Norwegians who settled in “Valdres Prairie” now known as Kerkhoven Township in the north east corner of Swift County.

Tosten married Marit Tostendatter in 1867. Carole H notes that “There were two Marit Tostensdatters of nearly the same age and place of birth. The ELCA funeral entry has a birth date matching neither of the two. Ultimately, it was the orderly old Norwegian convention for naming children that favored the Marit listed above.”

{We don’t know who Tosten married. The Marit Tostensdatters born in those years are all accounted for. The estimable dwfrench1 has no information on Tosten O’s wife other than that she was a Marit T. and lived ca 1845 to 2 May 1903. He has her as born in Minnesota which seem unlikely.}

This Marit was the daughter of Tosten Knudsen and Marith Olsdatter. She was born 1 April 1845 in Vang, Valdres Norway. The farm name was Sondrohl. Marit emigrated 12 April 1865 as Marit Tostendatter Sondrol. She may have come to marry Tosten. {The 1865 out-migration record is not available on Digitalarkivet.}

Tosten and Marit settled on 160 acres in Section 26 [NE 1?4]. They also owned acreage in Section 23. 80 acres in N1/2 of SE 1/4, 40 acres in NE 1/4 of SW1/4 and 40 in SE 1/4 of NW 1/4. I could not find the homestead records for any of the properties. Tosten and Marit remained on this land until their deaths.

Tosten and Marit had 10 children, 9 of whom survived to adulthood. All the children were born after the move to Kerkhoven Township and all were baptized at West Norway Lake Lutheran.

1. Kristi: born 2 Mar 1869, died 26 Oct 1943, married Even Olson Grindheim

2. Marit: born 12 June 1870, died 7 June 1905, married Andrew Jorgenson

3. Tosten T: born 19 May 1872, died 29 May 1922 ,married Ingeborg [Belle] Hanson

4. Anne L: born 12 Dec 1873, died 1 Nov 1939, married Nuffen Torger “Gunuf” Gunufson

5. Dina: born 20 Aug 1875, died 09 Mar 1876

6. Ole T: born 15 June 1877, died 1907-1910, married Julia Njos

7. Martin: born 16 Mar 1879, died 07 June 1939, married Emma Johanna Paulson

8. Simon: born 22 Aug 1881, died 18 Dec 1955, married Ingeborg Halvorsdatter Hande

9. Dina, born 24 Dec 1883, died 26 Dec 1957, married Alfred Berg

10. Matthea:born 7 Dec 1889, died 5 Feb 1949, married Peter LeClair

In 1876 a school was established in the north east corner of Section 26. It was known as Quamme School.

Tosten and Marit are in the 1875 census as Olsens but by the 1880 census they are using Quamme. He adopted this name from the farm in Norway, Kvamme Gard, where he last worked.

Tosten passed away 16 May 1899 at the age of 57. The cause of death was stomach trouble lasting several years. Funeral services were held at West Norway Lake Lutheran, Rev Jordahl officiating. He was buried in the Monson Lake Cemetery. Marit passed away 2 May 1903 and was also buried at Monson Lake Cemetery, again after services at West Norway Lake Lutheran.

According to the 1907 plat map, after Marit’s death Simon and Martin each inherited 80 acres in Section 26. Tosten received 40 acres contiguous to land he owned in Section 23.

Tosten’s sister Marit Olsdatter Ellingboe was also a charter member of West Norway Lake Lutheran.

Jim’s notes:

Hun og søsteren Berit dro fra de trange kårene på Kvåle til USA i 1871. De var bl. de første som reiste med dampbåt, og reisen ble derfor ikke så tung som for de første pionerene. De reiste til Minnestoa og fikk arbeid hos sin egen slekt der . De traff mennene sine i Goodhue Co MN, men begge bosatte seg i Wang Township. Marta lærte seg aldri engelsk. Hun var en glimrende husmor og en ekselent kokk, men var meget alvorlig og seriøs. Hun giftet seg 5.11.1875.

In the 1900 census, she had had six children, four still living.

Martha married Gunder Kristoffersen HEEN about 1876. Gunder (son of Kristoffer Gudbrandsen HEEN and Anne Gunnarsdatter GIVRE) was born on 8 Mar 1853 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 16 Aug 1942 in Chippewa County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 15 Dec 1861, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Berith is mentioned on p. 104 of the Vang B bygdebok but she is erroneously referred to there as “Randi.” The bygdebok identifies her mother as Randi Eiriksdotter Kattevøl.

In the 1880 U.S. census, she is Berit Pedersen, daughter of A. Pederson and his wife Randi of Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County. The rest of the children shown for that family are quite a bit younger although there is a daughter Kersti, age 10 (so born in 1869 or 1870) born in Norway. That implies that A. Pederson and Randi were together in Norway before coming to the U.S. in about 1870. Their 10-year-old son, Gustav, was born in Minnesota.

In the 1910 census, she is 48 years old, has been married for 29 years, and has had 15 children, 14 of whom are still living, and 13 of whom are still living at home. She came to the U.S. in 1872.

Berith married Christopher HOLLEN in 1880. Christopher (son of Even Helgessen HØVERSTAD and Anne Tostensdatter VØVLISEIGA) was born on 29 Jan 1855 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 6 Aug 1916; was buried in West Norway Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Sunburg, Norway Lake Twp, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota.

Notes:

Baptismal sponsors for Ole were Tollev Olsson, Ole Tollevson, Ole Endresson, Marith Jögersdatter, and Randi Larsdotter, all (apparently) of Ellingboe farm. (See p. 47.)

The records of the Norway Lake Lutheran churches in Kandiyohi County show: “Ole Ellingboe, born in Bang, Balders. Came with his mother to Goodhue County in 1862 and to Norway Lake in 1868. Married Maria H. Gandrud, born in Spring Grove, Minnesota.”

As a young single man, he was a charter member of the West Norway Lake Lutheran Church.

He was a farmer in Kerkhoven Twp in the 1900 census. Came to the U.S. in 1862.

Claretta is not listed with the family in the 1905 census but an 18 year-old Martin Ellingboe is, as is a 28 year-old Alice Olson, servant.

In the 1910 census he was a farmer in Kerkhoven Twp. The household consisted of Ole, 53, Maria, 41, Herbert O., 14, Cornell M., 8, and a servant named Carl Hagen, 23. The couple had been married for 15 years. This was his 2nd marriage, her first. Ole came to the U.S. in 1862.

He is still farming in Kerkhoven Twp in the 1920 census.

He resided at Route 1, Sunburg, at the time of his death. His wife Mary was the informant for his death certificate. He died from stomach cancer. An exploratory surgery had been performed the previous April.

The will record for Ole O Ellingboe is recorded in the Swift County Will Records, Volume 003, 1920-1939, will year 1932.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 24 Apr 1859, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

He was George Ellingboe, 21, “teaching”, living on the V. J. Finstad farm in Kerkhoven Twp in the 1880 census. Also living on that farm were Marit Ellingboe, a 46 year-old widow, “housekeeper”, and Marit’s two sons, Ole, 23, and Andrew, 18. All four of these Ellingboes were born in Norway.

In the 1885 census, he is G. O. Ellingboe in Pillsbury Twp, Swift County.

In the 1895 census he is George Ellingboe and has remarried and is in Kerkhoven Twp.

The November 23, 1897, edition of the Willmar Tribune says that George Ellingboe moved his family to Mille Lacs, Minnesota. In March of 1898, that paper noted that George was on his way to Aitkin County.

In the 1905 state census he and his family live in Lake George Twp, Stearns County.

In a Minnesota Valley history, he seems to be referred to as “Professor.” Here is his entry in the “History of the Minnesota Valley”, published in 1882, for Swift County:

Ellingboe, George O., Professor. Professor George O. Ellingboe was born January 29, 1859, in Norway.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Confirmation: 3 Jun 1877, East Norway Lake Lutheran Church, Pennock, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota

Notes:

Not listed in the Vang births.

According to Jim’s source, Andrew was baptized with the patronym Andersen which indicates that Andrew was not the son of Ola Jørgensson.

Jim’s notes for Andrew in his Ellingboe tree:

There is no record in the Vang church books for the birth of Anders.

In the 1865 Census of Minnesota, he is listed as Anders Andersen, while his brothers Ole and Jørgen are listed with their mother under the name Jørgensen. Also, in the christening record for Anders, which was found in the Vang Church (Holden Township, Goodhue County, Minnesota) by Curt , his name is listed as Anders Andersen. This very deliberate distinction in his name is strong evidence that Ole Jørgensen was not his father and that an unknown Anders was his father. It is likely that widow Marith and her children emigrated because she was obviously pregnant and was not going to marry the father of Anders. It would be difficult to hazard a guess as to who the father of Anders was because there were many men by the name of Anders in Vang at this time.

In the 1875 Census of Minnesota, he is listed as Anders Olsen, age 13, with mother Mary Olsen, age 39, brothers Ole, age 18, and Jorgen, age 15. All were listed as having been born in Norway.

The 1885 Census of Minnesota lists the family under the surname Ellingboe, with mother Marit Ellingboe, age 49, born in Norway, Ole Ellingboe, age 28, born in Norway, and Anders, age 22, born in Ontario. It would seem that he was born while his mother and brothers were immigrating to Minnesota, probably by way of the port of Quebec. Arta believes that he was born soon after Marit's arrival in Northfield, Minnesota, where her brother Tosten Quamme was already living.

According to Arta , Andrew had three daughters and one son, Arthur. He left his wife when the children were ages 1-4 and married again about 14 years later. His second marriage produced one daughter who was living at the age of 97 in 2000.

In the 1885 census he living with his brother Ole and Marit in Kerkhoven Twp (Lake Johanna P.O.). He is shown as age 22, born in Ontario. He was apparently born during his mother’s journey from Norway to Minnesota.

His father was born in Norway. His mother may have been too but the 1910 census for Andrew claims that his mother spoke Swedish.

In the 1895 census he was 29 and was some kind of an engineer living in a hotel in West Minneapolis.

He is listed in the 1895-1896 Minneapolis city directory as Andrew Ellingboe, machinist, Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co., resides in Hopkins. (The Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co. was a predecessor to the Minneapolis-Moline Co.)

Presumably, he is the Andrew O Ellingboe mentioned in the March 24, 1896, edition of the Willmar Tribune as having “devoted much of his time this winter in the buying of stock.”

In the 1900 census, indexed as Andrew Elingbor, he is a 35-year old single engineer boarding with the Robert Nelson family in Brainerd.

In the 1903 Brainerd city directory, he was an employee of C E Peabody. He and Annie resided at 1324 E Pine Street.

In the 1905 census he and his family live at 1320 Pine Street in Brainerd. He is a bartender.

The 1905 Brainerd city directory shows him at 1329 E Pine St. His wife is Annie.

In the 1907 Brainerd city directory, he and Annie live at 614 Laurel Street. He is a bartender.

An article in the Brainerd newspaper in November of 1907 says that A. O. Ellingboe has taken over the agency of the Fitger Brewing Co.

In the 1908 Brainder city directory, he and Annie live at 1603 E Pine Street. He is an agent for Fitger & Co.

He was a saloon keeper in Brainerd in the 1910 census.

His saloon was called the Nugget.

In the 1920 census, he is 57 year-old Andrew O. Ellingboe, born in Minnesota, a stationary engineer living in Brainerd with his wife Anna M., 34, and daughter Ruth V. M., 16. Andrew was also the census enumerator.

In the 1927 Brainerd city directory, he is a clerk for the Northern Pacific Railway. He and Annie live at 502 Quince.

In the 1930 census, Ruth has left home and Andrew and Anna are living in Brainerd at 1204 S. 7th. Andrew is a laborer at a railroad shop.

In the 1937-1938 Brainerd city directory, Andrew and Anna M live at 1204 S 7th. Same in the 1939-1940 directory. In the 1942-1943 Brainerd city directory, The entry for Andrew O Ellingboe is “moved to Milwaukee Wis.” In the 1944-1945 Wright’s directory for Milwaukee, Andrew O Ellingboe and his wife Anna M reside at 1441 N Humboldt Avenue. They were still there in the 1947 city directory.

In the 1940 census, he lived with his wife and daughter in Milwaukee.

According to Jim’s source, Andrew was married twice and had three daughters and one son by his first wife. He left his first wife when the children were quite young and married again about 14 years later.

His obit from the Friday, July 25, 1947, edition of the Brainerd Daily Dispatch:

Andrew Ellingboe, former resident of Brainerd, died Tuesday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Ruth, 1441 North Humboldt, Milwaukee, Wis.

Mr. Ellingboe had been living in Milwaukee for the past eight or 10 years. Previously he had lived in Brainerd where he worked at the Northern Pacific shops.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon in Milwaukee. Burial will be in Milwaukee.

Jim’s research provides the connection to Andrew. The information on Selma and Alton are from the Evenson Family Genealogy Web Site.

From an article in the Grande Prairie newspaper, September 13, 2021:

The Ellingboe family of the west County was recognized for their family’s century of farming in the region this past Sunday, as they were given a Pioneer Farming Award by the County of Grande Prairie Agricultural Services Board.

The award comes as the family’s history in the County dates back to 1919, when Arthur Ellingboe came to the region to settle a homestead outside of Beaverlodge. Arthur came to the Peace Country after being born in Minnesota, then lived in North Dakota before moving north.

“I remember my dad telling me about advertisements in the paper, offering free land in the Peace Country,” said Arthur’s daughter Arta Juneau-Brown. “He was 32 and a bachelor when he set out by rail in 1918, but the journey was fraught with danger, including moose on the tracks and a derailment.”

Juneau-Brown says her father lived in a tent on the farm for the first nine years he resided there, until his mother and step-father moved to join him in 1928.

“I’m proud of my father’s tenacity in the face of hardship,” said Juneau-Brown. “He even slept in a snowbank in the absence of any other available accommodations while hauling freight north of Dawson Creek.”

In 1941, Ellingboe married Kozey Willard, a woman he had initially hired to care for his mother. Together, they raised eight children, all of whom were present for the Pioneer Farming Award presentation on Sunday.

Keeping the initial quarter section in the family, plus the purchase of a second quarter by by family members in 1981, the family now runs a 320-acre farming operation.

As recognition for their century of farming in the county, the family was provided with a sign for their property, recognizing their century of farming.

Notes:

This is the same birthday as #10704. Unlikely as it seems, two Edmund Ellingboes did indeed have exactly the same birthday. Could not find this one in the index of births. On his draft registration, he claimed to have been born on 29 May 1911 in North Fork, Stearns County, Minnesota. Those are also the date and location described in his obituary.

In the 1940 census he was the 28 year-old Edmund G, born in Minnesota. He was single and was living with Robert and Tilda in North Fork Twp, Stearns County, Minnesota. He had an eighth-grade education and was a farm laborer.

He registered for the draft in Melrose, Minnesota, on 16 Oct 1940, as Edmund Griffith Ellingboe.

The informant for his death certificate was Jane Segaar of 311 2nd Street, Brooten. Edmund died of a heart attack. He was a farmer in Stearns County. He went to school through the 8th grade. He never married. He was a veteran of World War II, stationed in the South Pacific.

Either he, or (more likely) the Edmund of #10704, is likely the subject of this newspaper article from the Saturday, September 4, 1937, edition of the Brainerd Daily Dispatch:

“Edmund Ellingboe, of South Minneapolis, driver of one of the cars involved in a highway crash which yesterday resulted in the death of Theodore Berg, 23, of Brainerd, today faces a charge of “criminal negligence in the operation of vehicle resulting in the death of a human being.” The warrant was issued yesterday from the office of County Attorney F E Ebner and was served upon Ellingboe at St. Joseph’s hospital.

“Hearing upon the charge will be delayed, possibly for several weeks, as Ellingboe is confined to the hospital with a compound fracture of the hip, an injury received in the crash which caused Berg’s death.

“Others injured in the accident were Ernest Rausch, of Brainerd, driver of the car in which Berg was riding and Carl Layman, of St. Paul, a passenger in Ellingboe’s car.”

According to another article, the head-on crash occurred on U.S. 371 about 3 miles south of Brainerd early Wednesday morning. Berg died of his injuries on Friday.

Notes:

Victoria Mildred Kaminski (nee Ellingboe), "Vickie" as she was know to family and friends, was born on May 6, 1945 in Yorkton, Sask, the daughter of Sherman and Mary (nee Rooke) Ellingboe. She grew up on the family farm, nine miles east of Saltcoats in the Chatsworth District. Vickie attended school at Chatsworth A & B Schools and them completed her high school at Saltcoats. An important part of her earlier years was spent participating in the Garden 4-H Club and the church choir at the Castleton Country Church. After high school, Vickie attended Marvel College in Regina, where she completed her hairdressing certificate. Victoria first met Julian Kaminski on a blind date in 1965. They were married on September 24, 1966 and soon moved to Churchbridge, the community that they have called home ever since and where Vickie had a hairdressing shop for over 40 years. Most recently Vickie enjoyed working at the Churchbridge Day Care, where she was considered “Grandma” to all the children. Vickie lived a very caring and giving life - helping others came easily to her - almost as if by instinct. One of her favourite things was co-ordinating family gatherings. The more family members that could be packed in and around the house, the better and the happier she would be. Travelling was also one of Vickie’s pass times, and she and Julian enjoyed visiting many different places throughout the U.S. and Canada. When Vickie was at home, she enjoyed cooking for her family, working in her flower and vegetable gardens; visiting with friends over a nice lunch always brought her much joy. Curling, knitting, putting together puzzles and a good game of cards were a few of her favourite things. Vickie’s faith, and the work she did with the United Church were very important parts of her life. She played the piano and organ in a number of churches for many years. No matter what other work, hobbies or pass times held her interest, Vickie’s grandchildren were the most important thing in her life and her greatest love was spending time with them. She loved to cheer for their teams as they played ringette, hockey and baseball or watch as they participated in cheer, dance and choir. Surrounded by her grandchildren, was when Grandma was at her happiest. Vickie will be sadly missed by all those whose lives she touched, loved dearly, and remembered always by the family she leaves behind. Victoria was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Sherman Ellingboe; her mother-in-law, Pauline Hrushka and her sister-in-law, Betty Ellingboe. She leaves to mourn her passing and celebrate her life, her husband, Julian; two sons, Sheldon (Lynette) Kaminski of Langenburg, SK and Kevin of Southhaven, Mississippi; one daughter, Lana Kaminski (Mike Gottfried) of Ile-Des-Chenes, MB; her beloved grandchildren, Noah, Kerringan, Lexy, McKenna, Katarina, Julian and Jordan; two sisters, Marj (Howard) Wedrick of Gull Lake, SK and Mae (Dave) Pawliw of Springside, SK; one brother, Albert Ellingboe of Saltcoats, SK; her father-in-law, Walter Hrushka of Pelly, SK as well as her nieces, nephews, other relatives and many good friends.

From an article on the Minnesota DOT website:

Heart attack claims life of District 3’s Daryl Ellingboe

Daryl Ellingboe

Daryl Ellingboe, a transportation specialist at District 3’s Baxter headquarters, died suddenly Dec.10 while visiting Moorhead. He was 57.

A heart attack was the cause of his death.

Ellingboe joined Mn/DOT at the Baxter office in 1989 as a temporary laborer. He gained full-time status in 1990.

Ellingboe was promoted to highway technician 1992 and served as a transportation specialist in the district’s Hydraulics Unit at the time of his death.

Bob Nibbe, district hydraulics engineer and Ellingboe’s supervisor, said he was a “big, quiet, positive kind of guy.”

Nibbe said he and Ellingboe had recently completed his performance review, where Nibbe noted Ellingboe’s contributions as the lead designer for storm water drainage plans on two major projects.

“He was very thoughtful, sought training opportunities and worked hard to make sure he did a good job,” Nibbe said. “He was a pleasure to supervise.”

In addition to his expertise at work, Nibbe said Ellingboe, an experienced home builder, freely shared his knowledge with others.
“If you wanted to know about roofing or siding or wiring, Daryl was the guy to ask,” he said.

Ellingboe was a native of Crosslake, Minn., and lived in Brainerd at the time of his death.

The funeral will be held Dec. 16, at 11 a.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Brainerd. Visitation will be held Dec. 15 at the Nelson-Doran Funeral Home in Brainerd from 4 to 7 p.m.
