He is not listed in the 1912 Bellingham directory.

In the 1914 and 1917 directories, he is still living at 1513 E. His occupation is “merchant patrol.” (This is probably his son.)

In the 1918 Bellingham directory, he lives at 1513 E. His occupation is “police.”

In the 1920 Bellingham directory, he lives with his daughter and her family at 1408 Humboldt. He is a desk sergeant for the Bellingham police department.

Mathes’ administration, died this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, at Okanogan, Washington. He had been in ill health for several months. A telegram telling of his death was received by W. W. Fairburn.

Mr. Williams had lived in Bellingham for many years and was esteemed by hundreds of Bellingham residents. He was one of the county’s most popular violinists of the old school, delighting to play for old-time dances. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, and one son, Lynde Williams, now at Okanogan. Mr. Williams was a member of the Bellingham Bay Lodge, No. 44, F, & A. M. The remains will be received Friday night by O. R. Hollingsworth.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Wisconsin Counties: Waupaca, Portage, Wood, Marathon, Oneida, Vilas, Langlade and Shawano” by Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co. 1895

Boie Williams, familiarly known as “Buck” Williams is one of the prosperous leading business men and substantial citizens of Iola, Waupaca county.

Mr. Williams was born December 24, 1857, in Scandinavia township, Waupaca county. His father, Ove Williamson, was born in Norway, January 20, 1819, was educated in the schools of his native land, and the days of his boyhood and youth were passed upon the farm. His marriage to Miss Annie Kjos took place in Norway in 1844, and five years later, in 1849, he crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel to the New World, where he hoped to secure a home and competence. He first located in Muskegon, where he worked as common laborer some three years, coming thence to Waupaca county in 1853. He was one of the first settlers, and is now the second oldest living resident in Scandinavia township. The hardships and trials of pioneer life are familiar to him, and the history of that county is known to him from the days when it was almost unbroken wilderness, inhabited mostly by Indians. He has borne an important part in the work of development, transforming the land from its uncultivated condition into rich and valuable farms. Here he purchased 160 acres of wild land, on which not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made, and successfully continued its cultivation until 1884, when enfeebled health caused him to lay aside business cares, and he is now living a retired life. He worked for many years on the river, rafting logs, and his career has been that of an industrious and energetic man, bringing to him a well-merited competence. He is a stanch Republican in politics and has served in several local offices with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He filled the office of assessor for twelve years and has also been township treasurer. He and his family are members of the Lutheran Church, Mrs. Williamson, who was born in Norway September 29, 1820, is also yet living. Their children were: Annie, now the wife of August Larson, a resident of Wausau; William, who is living in La Crosse, Wis; Andrew, the efficient sheriff of Waupaca county; Berit, deceased; Denah; Boie, subject of this sketch, Edward Ove, of Waupaca; Anton G., a farmer of Scandinavia township; and Lewis B., deceased.

Our subject attended the rude district schools of the home neighborhood up to the age of fifteen years, when he left the school room and began work as a farm hand, as his services were not needed at home. For one year he was thus employed, receiving $12 per month, and on the expiration of that time he began learning harness making with Andrew Moberg, of Amherst, Wis., where he worked for three years, going thence to Wausau, Wis., being employed at his trade Ernest Felling. After spending two years in Wausau Mr. Williams returned to Scandinavia township, where he followed his trade; but as work was dull and scarce he hired out as a farm hand to a Mr. Turner, of Belmont township, Portage Co., Wis. Later he went to Winona, Minn., where he remained for one year, and then secured the position as driver of a creamery wagon in High Forest, that State. Subsequently he and his brother Andrew (afterward sheriff of Waupaca county) took up new farms in Faulk county, S. Dak., which section was then very wild and unsettled. Besides the improvements they made on their own homestead they also did “breaking” for others, their home during this time being in a little shanty out on the prairie, where our subject acted as cook. At the end of a year, however, he returned to High Forest, where he again drove a wagon for the creamery, being engaged thus for some time.

While there Mr. Williams was united in marriage, in September, 1886, with Miss Clara Juelson. By her marriage she has become the mother of four children, all of whom are still living-Arthur J., Edwin M., Walter L. and Clara A. The parents are members of the Lutheran Church. In the fall of 1886 Mr. Williams returned to Scandinavia township, and the following spring, on the advice of his friends, opened a harness shop in Iola, which he has since conducted with excellent success. He first began in a small building on State street, which he rented, his capital at that time comprising only his savings, and his honest, industrious efforts won for him an increasing trade, enabling him to purchase his shop. In 1892, however, he erected a substantial brick building on Main street, adjoining his present room, which later he sold out, and in 1893 built his present commodious brick business house, the largest harness shop in Iola.

Mr. Williams is one of the most prosperous businessmen in Waupaca county, wide-awake and pushing, and is destined to become a wealthy man. His excellent workmanship and honest dealings have brought him a large trade, and he enjoys the respect and confidence of all with whom he has business or social dealings. Besides his shop, he also owns his pleasant home, which has been built since locating in Iola. Mr. Williams is an earnest advocate of the principles of the Republican party, and, while no politician, has served in various official capacities, having been constable and city marshal (one year), and he is at present one of the city councilmen.

His obit in the Stevens Point Journal said the he had been born on the Williams farm “on the Scandinavia road about four miles east of town. He had come to Amherst as a young man as an apprentice to Andrew Moberg in the harness shop. He was a faithful worker for Mr. Moberg three or four years. Later he owned and operated a shop in Iola. In 1896, he was appointed postmaster of Iola, a position he held for over 18 years. On account of poor health, he was forced to resign and the family moved to California. He passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harry Eichler.

Gjartrud Vilhjølmsdatter BAGGETHUN

(47.Vilhjølm⁴, 18.Vilhjølm³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born on 3 Sep 1843 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 28 Nov 1926 in Goodhue County, Minnesota; was buried on 2 Dec 1926 in Vang Lutheran Church Cemetery, Dennison, Goodhue County, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

Baptism: 1 Oct 1843, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

According to Jeff: Gertrude Williamsdatter Lykken, 1843-1926, was born at Baggethun. Her husband was Torger Christopherson Lykken, 1833-1918. Gertrude’s parents were William Williamson and Anna Knutson (d. 1880?). Gertrude’s father also went by Vilhelm Vilhelmsen Baggethun. Gertrude came to the U.S. with her mother Anna in 1864. Anna lived with Gertrude and Torger until her death in 1880. The church record of Anna’s death has her last name as Lykken. It looks like William Williamson emigrated on his own to Wisconsin and later married and established a second family.

Her baptismal sponsors were: Ole Tollefsen Ellingbøe, Endre Bergeseiet, Knud Thuneeiet, Sigrid Skjelhaugen, and Ambjør Olsdatter Mÿhre. Ole Tollefsen was the man who stood for the child of unmarried parents.

Notably perhaps, none of her children were named after her father (e.g., William).

Other Events and Attributes:

Washington Death Certificate: 84
Baptism: 13 Nov 1859, Scandinavia Lutheran Church, Scandinavia Twp, Waupaca County, Wisconsin

Notes:

It is speculative that the William Williamson of Cowlitz County is the William Williamson who was born to William and Anne in Portage County. The birth dates ascribed to the Cowlitz County William are not consistent with each other and are not all consistent with the June 1859 date.

In the 1880 census, he may or may not be the 21 year-old farm hand William Williamson living on the O. John Johnson farm in Minnehaha County, Dakota Territory.

In the 1900 census, the family lives in Stella, Cowlitz County, Washington. He is 38 years old and was born in Wisconsin in September of 1861. He owned his farm with a mortgage.

In the 1910 census the family is in Portland, Oregon. All the children are at home. The senior William is a farmer.

In the 1920 census the family is in Stella, Washington. William is a farmer. Living with him and Ida is their daughter-in-law, Anna L., 23, their grand-son, Lester, ten months, and Maxina Butler, 5, “niece”, born in Mississippi. A Lester S Williamson married Thelma D Westerdahl in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington, on 13 Dec 1941.

In the 1930 census he is William Williamson, 71, living in Stella Precinct, Cowlitz County, Washington, with his wife, Ida L., 57, and their 40 year-old single son William H. The older William is a farmer, the younger William is a bookkeeper for a logging camp.

In the 1940 census, he is William Williamson (erroneously indexed as Willianson in Ancestry), living with Ida in Cowlitz County in the same house in which they had both lived in 1935. Both had had eighth-grade educations.

Baptism:
as Wilhelm

His obit was in the 29 Aug 1935 edition of the Stevens Point Journal:

Nels Edwin Williamson, 68, a resident of Amherst most of his life, died at 12:45 o’clock Monday morning at the home of his sister, Mrs. Anna Couch, at Amherst. He had been in poor health for the past month but his condition was not serious.

Notes:

He is I1 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes:

Lærer, kirkesanger, klokker, lærebokforfatter og dirigent bl.a. for Vang Sanglag, Bygdelagskoret og Kjelsås skoles jentekor (som han også stiftet). Han har utgitt flere lærebøker, bla grammatikkhefter og en synonymordliste sammen med Fossestøl. Den er bygd på Sandveis ordliste. Han er født på Tango og er den eneste kjente person som er født der. På hans 90 års dag ble 27. juli utropt til Tangadns nasjonaldag.

Han gikk den 3-årige lærerskolen på Hamar og tok eksamen i 1915. Deretter var han i 2 år lærer ved framhaldsskolen i Vang, den var på Fredheim. Da bodde han hjemme hos sin mor og far i Bøe. Vi har skolebilde fra den tid på Tango. Mange av bygda s "gamle" gikk der. I 1917 dro han til Åsnes i Solør, hvor han var i 2 år på Toverud skole, fram til 1919. Han har fortalt at en gang var det så kaldt der at de ikke fikk varmen opp i skolestua og elevene måtte gå hjem. Mens han var i Solør fikk han spanskesyken, da syklet han hjem til Vang for å ligge syk der. På et stevne møtte han styreren for Vestmar folkehøyskule i Drangedal (Telemark), Andreas Ystad, som spurte om han ville bli lærer der. Far kom dit i 1918 og ble der i seks år. Han kaller det selv noe av den mest interessante lærerperioden sin. Mens han var på Vestmar ble han syk, legen fant ikke ut hva det var og far var ett år og 6 mnd på sjukeheimen i Vestre Slidre. Ystad skulle til Marcello Haugen for ett eller annet , og far ba ham også spørre for seg. Da Ystad var ferdig med sine spørsmål, fortalte han at han hadde noen spørsmål fra en venn. "Et øyeblikk", sa Marcello, og holdt Ystad i hånden en stund, "Nå har jeg han", sa han og sa at far skulle skrive ti l ham. Det gjorde far og Marcello svarte at han hadde noen utposinger nederst på en lunge. Det viste seg å være pleuritten. Ystad forsøkte å få far til å bli lenger ved Vestmar, men far valgte hjembygda si, i alle fall for noen år. Men skoleåret var bare 6 måneder, det var både for lite å gjøre og 6 mnd uten lønn var også lite å leve av. Ystad ville ikke at han skulle slutte, men da det ble ledig en lærerpost ved barneskolen i Vang, flyttet far hjem igjen. Han bodde da på Kl ukkarhaugo, som nå er fredet. Foreldrene hans flyttet fra Bøe og til ham på Klukkarhaugo, hvor de hadde noen kyr. I Vang ble han også klokker og kirkesanger hos den tyskfødte sogneprest Fürwald. Sammen med ham opplevde far mye moro. Han sier selv at det var et utviklende samarbeid. Bl.a. var de sammen i Tyskland. I 1930 satte de opp og spilte "Olavsbilete " i øsende regn for Kong Håkon, til minne om slaget på Stiklestad på 900 års jubileet for innføringen av kristendommen i Norge. Han har satt ut sangen "Alla mina geita" som han kunne etter sin far. Gurvin har også skrevet ned den sangen, etter notater som far har gjort. Far hadde skrevet en note litt slurvete, dermed skrev Gurvin sangen ned med en note feil. Ilse hørte de n i et kor, og oppdaget at det var en liten feil i sangen.

Far var en god felespiller, helt til han brakk lillefingeren og den ble gipset feil av dr. Novotny. Han fortsatte å spille fele etter det, men som han selv sa var det bare som en skygge av hvordan han egentlig hadde kunnet spille. Jeg og alle andr e barn som hørte han spille var veldig imponert over et stykke han spilte som hadde med seg alle slags lyder fra fjøset. Han hadde en nydelig sangstemme, tenor, som gjorde ham kjent som kirkesanger. Han hadde lært stemmebruk hos Marie Irgens, og opptrådte ofte ved festlige anledninger, f.eks. i Valdreslaget.

En sommerdag nellom omkring 1915, kom den senere krigshelten og professoren Arnold Restad, til Tangadn. (Restad ble også senere den første styreformannen i Norsk rikskringkasting). Restad forteller selv om denne turen i en av sine mange bøker, ha n ble rodd fra Vassenda til Helestrønd, og gikk sammen med sitt følge gjennom Tangelia. Der ble han betatt av den vakre naturen og plukket seg ut en tomt på Mehankberget. Far var på stølen da, og Restad kom opp for å snakke om tomten. Far skull e spørre grunneierne om Restad kunne få bygge en hytte på Mehankberget. Andris J Bøe (Andris Sygarde) sa nei, men da far spurte om han selv kunne få sette opp en hytte, var det ikke nei i Andris sin munn. Far og onkel Nils (Nils N Bøe 1881- ) kjøpe en gammel stue fra Syndrolsbøkko, og satte den opp på Mehankberget i 1917, etter at de hadde spurt alle grunneierne om lov. Det var Nils på Kjelvo (se denne ) som satte opp selet, etter at bestefar (Nil s T Bøe) hadde kjørt det opp om vinteren. Selet er antakelig fra midten av 1600-tallet. Den siste som ble født i det, døde i brannen på Kvåle 39/1 i 1936.

Far var et meget klokt menneske, som har tenkt gjennom de fleste sider ved livet. Selv om han var gift med mor, som var tysk, gikk han inn i tysk fangenskap under krigen. Han satt i lærerleiren i Kirkenes, da jeg ble født. Jeg har aldri hørt ha n snakke stygt om noe menneske. Selv om jeg er hans sønn, vil jeg kalle ham en "meget høvisk mann" i tråd med det OBW skriver i Wangensteenslekten. For meg er det ingen overdrivelse når jeg kaller ham "DET BESTE MENNESKE JEG HAR MØTT", selv da ha n gikk i sitt 100 år, hadde han omsorg for andre mennesker, og snakket om livets mening og hvor viktig det er å ta vare på hverandre. Fysisk påsto han at han ikke er sterk, og jeg husker godt han sa at han aldri ville bli så gammel som brødrene sine, da jeg var ung. Likevel overlevde han alle sine søsken og var den av dem som ble eldst. Han ville alltid bli med til Tangadn i pås ken, uansett hvor strevsom det kunne være å komme opp dit. Da han var 98 år gammel, kjørte han selv snøscooter ned til Briskebu.

Han døde på Ullevål sykehus 18. mars 1995, nesten 101 år gammel. Ilse og Eva var hos ham. Selv var jeg på et møte i styret i Cricom regional i Portugal.

Notes:

A 19 year-old William O. Williams was working in a blacksmith shop in the town of Dayton, Waupaca County, in the 1870 census (June).

In the 1880 census (June 21st), William Williams is living in the village of High Forest in Olmsted County, MN. The household consists of William Williams, 30, Tilda, 35, Andrew, 3, Wilhelmina, 5 mos., brother Andrew, 27, and brother Edward, 20. Although William is shown as having been born in Wisconsin, and his parents in Norway, the rest of the household (Tilda, both Andrews, and Edward), except Wilhelmina, are shown as having been born in Norway and both parents in Norway. Wilhelmina is shown as born in Minnesota although both parents in Norway.

In the 1885 state census, the family is still in High Forest. The household is William Williams, 34, his wife Tora, 38 and born in Norway, and their children (all born in Minnesota): Andrew O., 7, Wilhelmina, 5, Ida C., 3, and Mable B., 10 months.

In the 1895 state census, William Williams is a blacksmith in Stewartville, Olmsted County. The clearly-challenged census-taker listed the family as William, 44, Hildia, 50, Andrew, 17, Alemeno, 15, Ada, 13, and Isabell, 11. William had lived in the state for 20 years, 6 months.

In the 1900 census (June 5th), the family is still living in High Forest, which is now a township, in Olmsted County. The village they live in is Stewartville. The family consists of William O. (born Aug 1851), Tildie (born May 1845), Wilhelmina A. (born Jan 1880), Ida C. (born Oct 1881), and Mable B. (born July 1884). The daughters were all born in Minnesota. William and Tildie have been married 24 years. Tildie has borne 4 children, all still living. William is a blacksmith. Wilhelmina is a clerk in a dry goods store. Ida is a clerk in a grocery store.

Other Events and Attributes:

Baptism: Scandinavia Lutheran Church, Scandinavia Twp, Waupaca County, Wisconsin
Occupation: Railroad Officer, U.S. Marshal

Notes:

Andrew was shown as a farmer and was living with his brother William and family in High Forest, Olmsted County, Minnesota, at the time of the 1880 census.

The June, 1895 Wisconsin state census for Waupaca County showed Andrew Williams’ household had 4 males, 3 females, all 7 born in the United States. He was the Waupaca County sheriff at about that time.

There is a biographical sketch of Andrew in the 1895 history of the upper Wisconsin River counties.

The facts and events shown here assume that Ove’s son Andrew is the Andrew Williams living on Maple Street in Waupaca in the 1900 census. He was a railroad officer.

Could not find him in Waupaca in the 1905 state census.

In the 1908 Bellingham, Washington, city directory, he is Andrew Williams, sheriff of Whatcom County, living at the Whatcom County Courthouse.

In the 1910 and 1911 Bellingham city directories, he is a deputy U.S. Marshal living at 1513 E.

In the 1910 census, that Andrew was a widower living on E Street in Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington. Living with him was Bert, 23, a railroad clerk, Lynde, 21, no occupation, and Esther, 17, no occupation. Andrew is a U. S. Marshal.

He is not listed in the 1912 Bellingham directory.

In the 1914 and 1917 directories, he is still living at 1513 E. His occupation is “merchant patrol.” (This is probably his son.)

In the 1918 Bellingham directory, he lives at 1513 E. His occupation is “police.”

In the 1920 Bellingham directory, he lives with his daughter and her family at 1408 Humboldt. He is a desk sergeant for the Bellingham police department.

In the 1920 census, Andrew, 63 and a widower, is living with his daughter and her family in Bellingham. He is a desk sergeant at police headquarters.

In the 1921 Bellingham directory, he lives at 2610 Michigan. Andrew is a desk sergeant for the police department.

In the 1923 Bellingham directory, he still lives at 2610 Michigan. No occupation.

An article in the February 12, 1925, edition of the Bellingham Herald:

Andrew Williams, sheriff of Whatcom county about 20 years ago and acting chief of police for a time during Mayor E. T. Mathes’ administration, died this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, at Okanogan, Washington. He had been in ill health for several months. A telegram telling of his death was received by W. W. Fairburn.

Mr. Williams had lived in Bellingham for many years and was esteemed by hundreds of Bellingham residents. He was one of the county’s most popular violinists of the old school, delighting to play for old-time dances. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Esther Day, and one son, Lynde Williams, now at Okanogan. Mr. Williams was a member of the Bellingham Bay Lodge, No. 44, F, & A. M. The remains will be received Friday night by O. R. Hollingsworth.

In the 1895 state census, Buck Williams’ household in Iola had 4 men and 2 women.

He is Buck Williams, postmaster, in the 1900 census. He is shown as married but his wife was not listed with the rest of the family.

The family lives in a house, not a farm, and the house is owned with no mortgage.

In the 1910 census, the children’s mother, now apparently dead because Buck is a widower, was born in Minnesota. In the 1910 census, Arthur is out of the house but the other children are still living with their father. Buck is indicated as having had 5 children, four still living.

In the 1920 census, Buck, 63, is living at 173 West 43rd Street in Los Angeles with his daughter Della, 26, and his son E. M. and family. His occupation is “trimmer” at an automobile shop.

The California Death Index, 1905-1939, on FS shows that a Buck Williams died in County 70 (Los Angeles) on 14 Mar 1924 at the age of 65 (State file number 12370).

Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Wisconsin Counties: Waupaca, Portage, Wood, Marathon, Oneida, Vilas, Langlade and Shawano” by Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co. 1895

Boie Williams, familiarly known as “Buck” Williams is one of the prosperous leading business men and substantial citizens of Iola, Waupaca county.

Mr. Williams was born December 24, 1857, in Scandinavia township, Waupaca county. His father, Ove Williamson, was born in Norway, January 20, 1819, was educated in the schools of his native land, and the days of his boyhood and youth were passed upon the farm. His marriage to Miss Annie Kjos took place in Norway in 1844, and five years later, in 1849, he crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel to the New World, where he hoped to secure a home and competence. He first located in Muskegon, where he worked as common laborer some three years, coming thence to Waupaca county in 1853. He was one of the first settlers, and is now the second oldest living resident in Scandinavia township. The hardships and trials of pioneer life are familiar to him, and the history of that county is known to him from the days when it was almost unbroken wilderness, inhabited mostly by Indians. He has borne an important part in the work of development, transforming the land from its uncultivated condition into rich and valuable farms. Here he purchased 160 acres of wild land, on which not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made, and successfully continued its cultivation until 1884, when enfeebled health caused him to lay aside business cares, and he is now living a retired life. He worked for many years on the river, rafting logs, and his career has been that of an industrious and energetic man, bringing to him a well-merited competence. He is a stanch Republican in politics and has served in several local offices with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He filled the office of assessor for twelve years and has also been township treasurer. He and his family are members of the Lutheran Church, Mrs. Williamson, who was born in Norway September 29, 1820, is also yet living. Their children were: Annie, now the wife of August Larson, a resident of Wausau; William, who is living in La Crosse, Wis; Andrew, the efficient sheriff of Waupaca county; Berit, deceased; Denah; Boie, subject of this sketch, Edward Ove, of Waupaca; Anton G., a farmer of Scandinavia township; and Lewis B., deceased.

Our subject attended the rude district schools of the home neighborhood up to the age of fifteen years, when he left the school room and began work as a farm hand, as his services were not needed at home. For one year he was thus employed, receiving $12 per month, and on the expiration of that time he began learning harness making with Andrew Moberg, of Amherst, Wis., where he worked for three years, going thence to Wausau, Wis., being employed at his trade Ernest Felling. After spending two years in Wausau Mr. Williams returned to Scandinavia township, where he followed his trade; but as work was dull and scarce he hired out as a farm hand to a Mr. Turner, of Belmont township, Portage Co., Wis. Later he went to Winona, Minn., where he remained for one year, and then secured the position as driver of a creamery wagon in High Forest, that State. Subsequently he and his brother Andrew (afterward sheriff of Waupaca county) took up new farms in Faulk county, S. Dak., which section was then very wild and unsettled. Besides the improvements they made on their own homestead they also did “breaking” for others, their home during this time being in a little shanty out on the prairie, where our subject acted as cook. At the end of a year, however, he returned to High Forest, where he again drove a wagon for the creamery, being engaged thus for some time.

While there Mr. Williams was united in marriage, in September, 1886, with Miss Clara Juelson. By her marriage she has become the mother of four children, all of whom are still living-Arthur J., Edwin M., Walter L. and Clara A. The parents are members of the Lutheran Church. In the fall of 1886 Mr. Williams returned to Scandinavia township, and the following spring, on the advice of his friends, opened a harness shop in Iola, which he has since conducted with excellent success. He first began in a small building on State street, which he rented, his capital at that time comprising only his savings, and his honest, industrious efforts won for him an increasing trade, enabling him to purchase his shop. In 1892, however, he erected a substantial brick building on Main street, adjoining his present room, which later he sold out, and in 1893 built his present commodious brick business house, the largest harness shop in Iola.

Mr. Williams is one of the most prosperous businessmen in Waupaca county, wide-awake and pushing, and is destined to become a wealthy man. His excellent workmanship and honest dealings have brought him a large trade, and he enjoys the respect and confidence of all with whom he has business or social dealings. Besides his shop, he also owns his pleasant home, which has been built since locating in Iola. Mr. Williams is an earnest advocate of the principles of the Republican party, and, while no politician, has served in various official capacities, having been constable and city marshal (one year), and he is at present one of the city councilmen.

His obit in the Stevens Point Journal said the he had been born on the Williams farm “on the Scandinavia road about four miles east of town.

From "Commemorative Biological Record of the Upper Wisconsin Counties of Waupaca, Portage, Wood, Marathon, Lincoln, Oneida, Vilas, Langlade and Shawano" by Chicago: J.H. Beers & Co., 1895.

Anton G. WILLIAMS was born August 24, 1862, on the farm which he now owns and occupies in the township of Scandinavia, Waupaca County.

His father, Ove WILLIAMSON, was born in Norway January 20, 1819, was educated in the schools of his native land, and the days of his boyhood and youth were passed upon the farm. His marriage to Miss Annie KJOS took place in Norway in 1844, and five years latter in 1849, he crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel to the New World, where he hoped to secure a home and competence. He first located in Muskego, Wis., where he worked as a common laborer some three years, coming thence to Waupaca County in 1853. He was one of the first settlers, and is now the second oldest living resident in Scandinavia Township. The hardships and trail of pioneer life are familiar to him, and the history of that county are known to him from the days when it was an almost unbroken wilderness, inhabited mostly by Indians. He has borne an important part in the work of development, transforming the land from its uncultivated condition into rich and valuable farms. Here he purchased 160 acres of wild land, on which not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made, and successfully continued its cultivation until 1884, when enfeebled health caused him to lay aside business cares, and he is now living a retired life. He worked for many years on the river rafting logs, and his career has been that of an industrious energetic man, bringing to him a well-merited competence.

Mrs. Williamson, who was born in Norway, September 29, 1820, is also yet living. He is a stanch Republican in politics and has served in several local offices with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He filled the office of Assessor for twelve years, and has also been Township Treasurer. He and his family are members of the Lutheran Church. The children were Annie, now the wife of August LARSON, a resident of Wausau; William who is now living in La Crosse, Wis., Andrew, the efficient Sheriff of Waupaca County; Berit, deceased; Denah; Buck, who is located in Iola, Wis.; Edward Ove, of Waupaca; Anton G., subject of this sketch’ and Lewis B., deceased.

Anton G. WILLIAMS conned his lessons in the public schools near his home, and acquired a good practical educations. Under the parental roof he was reared to manhood, and at an early age he began to work in the fields, so that he was soon familiar with farm work in its various department. He now owns and operates the old home farm on which he was born, comprising 120 acres of land, the greater part of which is under cultivations and improved in a manner that indicates his practical and progressive spirit, and makes his farm one of the best in the community. He is accounted one the representative agriculturalists of Waupaca County, as well as one of the most prominent citizens. He has been called to official honors, having served as a member of the town Board of Supervisors and as a Treasurer of the school district, and in his political views has followed his father’s example by always supporting the Republican Party. Like the honored family to which he belongs he is connected with the Lutheran Church.

Other Events and Attributes:

Baptism: 1 Oct 1843, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

According to Jeff: Gertrude Williamsdatter Lykken, 1843-1926, was born at Baggethun. Her husband was Torger Christopherson Lykken, 1833-1918. Gertrude’s parents were William Williamson and Anna Knutson (d. 1880?). Gertrude’s father also went by Vilhelm Vilhelmsen Baggethun. Gertrude came to the U.S. with her mother Anna in 1864. Anna lived with Gertrude and Torger until her death in 1880. The church record of Anna’s death has her last name as Lykken. It looks like William Williamson emigrated on his own to Wisconsin and later married and established a second family.

Her baptismal sponsors were: Ole Tollefsen Ellingbøe, Endre Bergeseiet, Knud Thuneeiet, Sigrid Skjelhaugen, and Ambjør Olsdatter Mÿhre. Ole Tollefsen was the man who stood for the child of unmarried parents.

Notably perhaps, none of her children were named after her father (e.g., William).

Other Events and Attributes:

Washington Death Certificate: 84
Baptism: 13 Nov 1859, Scandinavia Lutheran Church, Scandinavia Twp, Waupaca County, Wisconsin

Notes:

It is speculative that the William Williamson of Cowlitz County is the William Williamson who was born to William and Anne in Portage County. The birth dates ascribed to the Cowlitz County William are not consistent with each other and are not all consistent with the June 1859 date.

In the 1880 census, he may or may not be the 21 year-old farm hand William Williamson living on the O. John Johnson farm in Minnehaha County, Dakota Territory.

In the 1900 census, the family lives in Stella, Cowlitz County, Washington. He is 38 years old and was born in Wisconsin in September of 1861. He owned his farm with a mortgage.

In the 1910 census the family is in Portland, Oregon. All the children are at home. The senior William is a farmer.

In the 1920 census the family is in Stella, Washington. William is a farmer. Living with him and Ida is their daughter-in-law, Anna L., 23, their grand-son, Lester, ten months, and Maxina Butler, 5, “niece”, born in Mississippi. A Lester S Williamson married Thelma D Westerdahl in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington, on 13 Dec 1941.

In the 1930 census he is William Williamson, 71, living in Stella Precinct, Cowlitz County, Washington, with his wife, Ida L., 57, and their 40 year-old single son William H. The older William is a farmer, the younger William is a bookkeeper for a logging camp.

In the 1940 census, he is William Williamson (erroneously indexed as Willianson in Ancestry), living with Ida in Cowlitz County in the same house in which they had both lived in 1935. Both had had eighth-grade educations.

#1
BEN KNUDTSON FROZEN TO DEATH

The Christmas festivities of our neighboring town of Carpenter were sadly broken into by the tragic death of one of her citizens, Mr. Ben Knudtson, who died about noon from the effects of having spent the night out - lying beside the railroad track in that awful cold.

Mr. Knudtson came back from Lyle on the 8:20 train Christmas Eve. He had not been up to Lyle to buy either hardware or dry goods, but had already celebrated too much for his own good. When he got off the train he started for his home, which was about a mile northwest of Carpenter; but instead of going around the road, he started cross lots intending to go north on the railroad till he crossed the bridge, then take a path through the woods for home. He only got across the bridge when he fell and rolled down the high embankment, striking on a lot of rocks which lay at the bottom. It is quite evident that he was considerably injured by the fall or he could have managed to have gotten up and out of there. But there he lay during all that bitter, cold night.

At about eleven o'clock Knudtson's son, Ed, about 17 years of age, in company with Ed Edwarson, a boy of about his own age crossed the bridge and heard someone calling to them to hold on but they thought it was a tramp trying to waylay them and they ran as fast as their legs could carry them, and went over to Gilbert Severson's close by and stayed all night. The next morning Severson and Edwards went back to the bridge and, alas, there lay Knudtson, not dead but pretty near it, though he was still conscious and in fact, remained so until just before he died.

They took him home and immediately called Dr. Culmsee. The doctor arrived there about eleven o'clock, but alas he was beyond the reach of medical aid. His injuries were too severe to be helped and he died within an hour. His hands, face and legs were frozen terribly, and he was suffering from internal injuries, evidently caused by falling down the embankment.

The funeral was held on Saturday, conducted at the Deer Creek N. L. Church by Reverend J. Olsen.

It was just eight years ago to a day, that his brother, Theo, came to an untimely death in the same woods, and not a mile from the same place.

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

Confirmation: 12 Oct 1884, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Hills, Rock County, Minnesota

Notes:

A 1912 land ownership map of Lake George Twp, Charles Mix County, South Dakota, shows an “O. W. Ellingboe” owning a 160 acre parcel, the northwest corner of Section 33.

In a 1914 land ownership atlas of Martin Twp, Rock County, Minnesota, “O W Ellingboe” owned an 80 acre parcel adjoining, and complementing, the two 80 acre parcels owned by “W O Ellingboe.”

Single and now head of the farm in the 1920 census. Living with him are his mother and sisters Bertha and Ida. The farm above his on the census sheet is Hans Nerison’s.

In the 1930 census, he is probably the Ole W. Ellingboe living on the Hans Nerison farm in Hills Village, Rock County. He is a farm laborer. He is erroneously shown as 51 years old (actually he was 61).

In the 1940 census, he is Ole W Ellingboe, a 71 year-old single man living in Hills. He’s a church janitor. He earned $200 in 1939. Ole had an 8th grade education.

In the 1950 census, he is a resident at the Bethesda Home for the Aged in Lincoln County, South Dakota.

Other Events and Attributes:

Notes:

An Elizabet O. (Betsy O.) Ellingboe b. 27 Jan 1871 in Iowa, mother’s maiden name Boe, died in Los Angeles County, California, on 16 Oct 1961.

She is probably the Bessie Ellingboe, dressmaker, recorded in the 1900 Sioux Falls, South Dakota, city directory. She rooms at the Odd Fellow block.

She is probably the Miss Bessie Ellingbo recorded in the 1911 and 1912 Denver city directories. In the latter, she is a fitter for the Daniels & Fisher Stores and rooms at 30 20th Avenue.

The 1913 Los Angeles city directory has a “Mrs.” Bessie O Ellingbo, dressmaker, residing at 823½ West 3rd.

In the 1918 Los Angeles city directory, Bessie Ellingboe lives at 348 S Figueroa.

In the 1930 census, A Bessie Ellingboe, age 59 and single, lived in Los Angeles as a “lodger.” Her occupation is something like modist (?). This Bessie was born in Wisconsin, her parents in Norway.

In the 1940 census, she is Bessie O Ellingboe, age 69, a lodger at the Ingraham Hotel in Los Angeles.

She is still living at the Hotel Ingraham, 1046 Wilshire Boulevard, at the time of the 1950 census.

At least according to the records on Ancestry for the ELCA, her confirmation is recorded in the church books for both the Beaver Creek church in Beaver Creek, Minnesota, as well as the Brandon Lutheran Church in Brandon, South Dakota.

She does not live with her parents in the 1900 census. “Of Sioux City” at the time of her father’s death. Not mentioned in her mother’s obituary although she was the informant for her mother’s death certificate.

Birth:
There are at least two church book entries for her confirmation. At least one says that she was born 31 Jul 1874.

Julia Maren ELLINGBOE

(108.Ambjor⁵, 39.Ove⁴, 15.Gjartrud³, 5.Ambjørg², 1.Ove¹) was born on 26 Oct 1875 in Minnesota; died on 29 Mar 1964 in Orange County, California.

Other Events and Attributes:

Baptism: 3 Dec 1875, Minnesota
Confirmation: 18 Oct 1891, Hills, Rock County, Minnesota

Notes:

Entered in the church book as Julia Maria.

In the 1898 Sioux Falls, South Dakota, city directory, she may be the Julia Ellingboe, stenographer, who rooms at 332 West 12th.

In the 1900 Sioux Falls directory, she is probably the Julia Ellingboe, stenographer, rooming at the Odd Fellow block.

In the 1905 Minnesota state census, she is age 28 and living with her parents and siblings in Martin Twp, Rock County.

Her father’s obit referred to her as Mrs. Sherman Coxe of Denver.

She was a 44 year-old widow living in Assembly District 63, Los Angeles County, with her son in the 1920 census. She has no occupation.

She was a 54 year-old widow living in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County, California, with her son in the 1930 census. She has no occupation.

It is likely that Julia did not marry Sherman Richard Cox. In the 1910 census, Sherman R. Cox, 41, born in Illinois, was living in Denver with his wife of two years Bertha M., 31, born in Iowa. Living with the couple was his mother, Carrie M. Sherman. He appears to be a livestock merchant. In the 1920 census, Sherman R. Cox, 52, born in Illinois, was living in Los Angeles Assembly District 63 with his wife Bertha M., 41, born in Iowa, and their children, Jean C., 6, and William S., 5. Both children were born in Colorado. Sherman is a livestock grower. In the 1930 census, Sherman R. Cox, 61, born in Illinois, was living in Los Angeles Assembly District 58 with his wife, Bertha M., 50, born in Iowa, and their children Jean, 16, and William S., 15. Sherman had no occupation. So it would seem that, unless Sherman Richard divorced Bertha, married Julia, and then divorced Julia and remarried Bertha, Julia and Sherman Richard were not married and that Julia followed Sherman Richard to California and was dependent on him for support.

Birth:
The 26th is the date shown in the church book. Other sources say October 27th.

Baptism:
Slayton, county seat of Murray County. Indexed ELCA records erroneously say 2 Dec.

Confirmation:

Ole P FLATEN

(112.Peder⁵, 40.Randi⁴, 15.Gjartrud³, 5.Ambjørg², 1.Ove¹) was born on 18 Dec 1863 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway.

Notes:

From a history of Chippewa and Lac qui Parle Counties, written in 1916:

Ole P. Flatin, one of the well-known and highly respected residents of Chippewa county, Minnesota, was born in Valders, Norway, on December 18, 1863, being the son of Peder I. and Marit (Grythen) Flatin.

Peder I. and Marit Flatin were born at Valders, Norway, where they were educated and there grew to manhood and womanhood and married. It was there that Peder Flatin engaged in farming, having owned a farm, which in time went to the eldest son, who being first-born of the sons, came into possession of the tract of land, owned by his father. After having cultivated the place for a number of years, Peder Flatin decided to leave the home of his birth and young manhood and come to America. In 1870, he and his family set sail for the new world, and after having landed in this country, they came direct to Minnesota and located near Northfield, in Rice county, and here they remained until 1882, at which time they moved to Chippewa county, where he hoped to make a home for himself and family. Being a carpenter he did much work in that line. He now owned eighty acres in Rice county and the prospects for a home were at that time bright. After coming to Chippewa county, be lived but a short time, having died in 1883. The widow is now living at Granite Falls. They were the parents of the following children: Ingvald, Ole P., Ole, Marit, John, Randi, Marit, Will and Gertrude. Ingvald is now retired and lives at Granite Falls; Ole is a farmer and lives in Missouri; Marit died when but a small girl; John lives at Pine City, where he is a butter maker; Randi is the wife of Ole M. Arga, of Renville county; Marit lives with her mother and is a dressmaker; Will is a farmer and lives in Missouri and Gertrude is the wife of Winfred W. Hayes and lives at Farmington, Minnesota, where Mr. Hayes is engaged as a railroad engineer.

Ole P. Flatin was educated in the public schools of Rice county and there grew to manhood, on the home farm. In 1882 he came to Chippewa county and here engaged in farming with his brother, Ingvald, by renting an uncle’s farm for five years. After that time, Ole P. Flatin managed the farm in Granite Falls township, alone until 1890. He then bought one hundred and twenty acres in the township and in time added eighty acres to the tract. Here he made many improvements on the farm, including the remodeling of the granary, rebuilding the house and building a new barn. He did much in the way of development, making the farm one of the best in the township. It was here that he engaged in general farming and stock raising. In 1906 he purchased a home overlooking Granite Falls and retired from the farm. He later sold this property to the railroad company, and bought where he now lives, on the corner of Miller and Orange streets. For many years Mr. Flatin has been identified with the Republican party, and has always taken an active interest in local affairs. He served as supervisor of his township for many years and was filing that position at the time of his retirement from the farm. In 1908 he was elected a member of the board of county commissioners and is still a member of that body. He has always been faithful to the duties entrusted to him and continues to hold the honor and the respect of the people of his county. He and his wife are members of the First Lutheran church of Granite Falls, and have always taken an active interest in all church work, Mr. Flatin having served as trustee of the local society for a number of years.

On May 22, 1890, Ole P. Flatin was united in marriage to Maria Thorkelson, a native of Goodhue county, Minnesota, and the daughter of Andre Thorkelson, who came to the county in the early seventies. To this union two children were born, Hilda, who died at the age of sixteen, and Peder Melvin, now twenty-four years of age. Maria Flatin, the wife and mother died in 1893. After the death of his wife, Ole P. Flatin was united in marriage on June 2, 1896, to Mrs. Helen (Rude) Wollan, a native of Renville county, Minnesota, and the daughter of Knut Rude and wife, who were old settlers in the county, having located there in 1868.

Ole P. Flatin has devoted much of his time and ability to the development of the community in which he has lived and is recognized as one of the foremost men of the county in the way of meeting the growing needs of the district. With the other commissioners of the county, he had much to do with the establishment of the Riverside sanatorium, and when the same was organized, he was elected a member of the sanatorium committee, and by them elected secretary of the commission. His life has been an active one and he has accomplished much that has had to do with the development and the social welfare of the county.

Mr. Grove had been in poor health ever since the death of his oldest son, Walter Andrew, three years ago, when he had an attack of scarlet fever.

The funeral exercises were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 at the home at 706 Union street and at 3 oclock at the Congregational church chapel, Rev. E. B. Dean officiated. Miss Edna Mabon and Tom Mabon sang two songs, “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” and “Sometime Well Understand,” the same songs that were sung at the funeral of his son three years ago. The interment was made at Oaklawn cemetery, where the burial services were conducted by the Workman lodge, of which the deceased was a member. The profusion of flowers and the large crowd at the funeral testified to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The pallbearers at the funeral were L. R. Williamson, D. D. Springsted, C. A. Schleif, Jos. Drake, Ben Odegaard, and Knute Johnson. Visitors from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wohlers of Faribault, and Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Notes:

Called Mary in the 1880 census.

The 1900 census shows her as 21 years old, born in September of 1878. She is in the 1880 census as one year-old Mary. It’s hard to understand why the obvious error of the 1881 birth date is repeated so many times in the records, including her gravestone and her obit.

In the 1930 census, she is Minnie Grove, age 39, living in a rooming house in Fargo, North Dakota. She is a corset clerk in a department store.

Minnie’s obit in the Faribault Daily News, cited by Dalby:

Funeral services for Miss Minnie Grove, 73, who passed away at the Northfield Hospital Tuesday evening, Dec. 28, after a short illness, were held this afternoon at the Anderson Funeral Chapel. The Rev. Ivar Ramseth officiated at 1:30 p.m. Burial was made in the family lot in the Northfield Cemetery.

She made her home in Northfield where she attended the local schools and was employed for several years as saleslady in the Alex Marshall Company. In 1924 she left to make her home in Fargo, N.

Berit Larsdatter KVALE

(121.Berit⁵, 43.Ole⁴, 17.Gjertrud³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born on 13 Apr 1872 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 1 Jul 1938 in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 2 Jul 1938 in Hillside Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

MN Death Cert Checked: Y
Minnesota Death Certificate: 1938-MN-020288
Baptism: 29 May 1872, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

This illegitimate daughter of Berit Olsdatter Kvale (b. 1851) and Lars Johnson Wangensteen (b. 1848) was the first demonstrable leirmal for each parent. Ove Olsen Kvale was the responsible member of the Vang congregation who stood for the illegitimate Berit.

From the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on August 26, 1898: three unmarried individuals who were born in Vang i Valdres but were returning to their home in Minneapolis after a visit departed on the Stjernelinjen line. The three were: Britha Larsen Kvale, 26, b. 1872 (#11616), occupation syerske (seamstress), Rangdi Tollefsen Ellingbø, 28, b. 1870, occupation syerske, and Jørgen Tollefsen Ellingbø, 31, b. 1867, occupation juveler.

Rangdi and Berith arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Majestic on September 8, 1898, after departing Liverpool on August 31st. Rangdi is shown as a U.S. citizen, Berith is a citizen of Norway.

She is probably the Bertha Kvale of Minneapolis, listed in the Valdris Book, who was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1910.

According to MOMS, Bertha L Kvale married “Christ A Joe” in Hennepin County, Minnesota, on 1 Jan 1913. The Minnesota Marriages database on FamilySearch clarifies the husband’s name for this marriage as Christ A Loe. Bride and groom were both “of Hennepin County.” The ELCA record of the marriage shows Inga Ellingbo of Minneapolis as one of the witnesses. We don’t know who that Inga was.

The hospital was the informant for the information on her death certificate. At the time of her death, she lived at 2622 3rd Avenue S. She had been in Minneapolis for 40 years. She died from an acute small bowel obstruction due to post-operatory adhesions. She had an operation, and “exploratory laporatomy,” on June 21st. She had entered the hospital with peritonitis and bronchopneumonia.

Birth:
her death certificate said 13 Apr 1873

Died:
Minneapolis General Hospital

Berit married Christ A LOE on 1 Jan 1913 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Christ (son of Anders LOE) was born on 13 Aug 1870 in Norway; died on 17 Apr 1938 in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried in Hillside Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Bertha LOE

(121.Berit⁵, 43.Ole⁴, 17.Gjertrud³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born about 1889 in Wisconsin.

Notes:

In the 1910 census, she lived at home in Minneapolis with her parents and brother. She was a dressmaker.

Her mother’s obit (in Norwegian) implies, to the untrained eye, that Bertha was Mrs. Christ. Loe at the time of her mother’s death.

Marit Andersdatter (Mary) ELLINGBÖ

(125.Ingeborg⁵, 43.Ole⁴, 17.Gjertrud³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born on 30 Jun 1883 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 11 Dec 1972 in Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 14 Dec 1972 in Sunset Memorial Park, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

MN Death Cert Checked: Y
Minnesota Death Certificate: 1972-MN-033787
Baptism: 30 Jul 1883, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Baptismal sponsors were Tollef Olson Ellingbö, his wife Marit Jögersdatter, Emilie Erickson Thune, Kristoffer Tollefson Ellingbö, and Anne Olsdatter Kvale.

In the 1900 U. S. census, Rangdi (b. June 1872) and Jorger Ellingbo (b. July 1867), brother and sister, are living with their newly-arrived niece, Mary Ellingboe (b. June 1883), at 1425 Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. Rangdi is a seamstress, Jorger is a jeweler, and Mary has no occupation. Jorger originally came to the U. S. in 1885 and Rangdi in 1890. That niece Mary may have been caught in the 1900 census at the location of her employer where a 16 year-old Mary Ellingbo (but one supposedly born in May of 1884), recently arrived in the U.S. (1900), is a servant at the home of the Cargill family (the Cargills) on 33rd and Portland. (Could not find a Marit born to Ellingboes in Vang in 1884.)

The Vang church book emigration record shows a Marit Andersdatter Ellingbø, b. 1883, emigrating to the U. S. in 1900, perhaps leaving Vang on March 21st. Ole Iversen Ellingboe (#9188) left Vang at about the same time, perhaps leaving Vang on March 23rd.

Also from the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on March 23, 1900, Marit Andersdtr Ellingbø, 17, b. 1883, born and living in Vang, unmarried, departed on the Allan line. Her occupation is shown as “datter af Veivgter.” Marit departed from Liverpool on the S.S. Tunisian on April 5, 1900, and arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on April 14, 1900. She is shown as Marit A. Ellingboe, single female, age 16, occupation “servant.” Her last residence was Valders and her final destination is Minneapolis. She paid for her own passage and had $5. She was going to join her cousin Rangde Ellingbö. Marit appears to have been traveling with 16 year-old Ragnhild Lunde, also from Valders (but not, apparently, from Vang) and also heading to Minneapolis to find work as a domestic.

In the 1901 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marit A Ellingbo, a seamstress, living with Jøger T Ellingbo at 1425 East Franklin.

She was one of the witnesses to her uncle Jøger’s 1903 marriage to Olena.

In the 1903 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marie Ellingbo, tailor at A J Kidd, boarding with Rangdi at 2121 13th Avenue S.

In the 1907 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Mary Ellingbo, seamstress, rooming at 2417 Butler Place.

In the 1909 Minneapolis city directory she is Marie Ellingbo, a seamstress who boards at 2417 Butler Place. There was a Conrad Hanson living on Butler Place at the same time.

In the 1910 Minneapolis city directory, she is still Marie Ellingbo, still a seamstress, still boarding at 2417 Butler Place.

Because Bertha is listed as “sister-in-law” in the 1920 census, we can deduce that Mary became the wife of Conrad Hanson and was living at 4420 43rd Avenue South in Minneapolis at that time.

Shown as Mary I. in her death certificate. Her father was shown as Ole Ellingboe and her mother as Ingeborg Qvale. The informant for her death certificate was her son Burton Hanson of 6421 Oliver in Minneapolis. (Burton was mistaken: Marit’s father was, indeed, Anders Tollefson.) Mary died of asthma and heart disease. Her usual residence at the time of death was 2246 East 56th Street in Minneapolis which may be the address of the “St. Olaf Residence.”

Died:
St. Olaf Residence

Marit married Conrad Mandius HANSON on 14 Sep 1910 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Conrad (son of Hans Andreas HALSEIDE and Anna Serine Pedersdatter) was born on 6 Feb 1883 in Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway; died on 27 Apr 1971 in Edina, Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 30 Apr 1971 in Sunset Memorial Park, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Ole Andersson ELLINGBÖ

(125.Ingeborg⁵, 43.Ole⁴, 17.Gjertrud³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born on 9 Oct 1886 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 28 Aug 1963 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; was buried on 3 Sep 1963 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway.

Other Events and Attributes:

Baptism: 7 Nov 1886, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

In the 1910 Norwegian census, he is living with his parents and siblings on the Njuko farm. That census shows his date of birth as (incorrectly) October 9, 1885.

Jim’s Valdres Slekt has Ola Andrissen Njuko Ellingbø remaining in Norway. As does the bygdebok.

He may be the 23 year-old Ola R. Ellingboe lodging at about 7th Avenue and 10th Street in Minneapolis in the 1910 census. He is a packer in a furniture factory or store and came to the U.S. in 1909.

Died:
Find A Grave says 8 Aug

Ole married Anna Sofie Andreasdatter NATVIK in 1925. Anna was born on 18 Jan 1905 in Årdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway; died on 19 Jul 1977 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; was buried in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Ingelev Andersdatter ELLINGBÖ

(125.Ingeborg⁵, 43.Ole⁴, 17.Gjertrud³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born on 7 Mar 1891 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 31 Jan 1969 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; was buried on 7 Feb 1969 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway.

Other Events and Attributes:

Baptism: 5 May 1891, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is not listed in Norway in the 1910 Norwegian census. The bygdebok says she went to Minnesota in 1908.

She is probably the Inga Ellingboe, age 19, servant, living in Richfield, Minnesota, in the 1910 census. She is living with the brothers Nels and Conrad Hanson on their dairy farm at about 54th Street and 28th Avenue. Also living on the farm is Arnold Heen, 23. All are from Norway and all appear to have come to the U.S. after 1900.

Jim’s site, in Valdres Slekt, says that she went to the U.S. before she had children and notes that the bygdebok doesn’t say anything about her coming back. Whatever, she is buried in the Vang church cemetery in Norway with her husband.

She had a daughter Ingeborg (b. ca 1935) with Anders Boe (b. 1878). The bygdebok has this Anders (son of Ola Andrisson Bøe 1854-1948 and Anne Olsdatter Øylo 1856-1938) as born in 1888, dying in 1953, and unmarried.

Birth:
on Skaare

Died:
as Ingeleiv Ellingbø, born 7 Mar 1891

Family/Spouse: Anders Olsen BØE. Anders (son of Ola Andrisson BØE and Anne Olsdatter ØYLO) was born on 17 Jul 1888 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1953 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Berit Andersdatter ELLINGBÖ

(125.Ingeborg⁵, 43.Ole⁴, 17.Gjertrud³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born on 22 Jan 1895 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 8 Nov 1979 in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 12 Nov 1979 in Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

MN Death Cert Checked: Y
Minnesota Death Certificate: 1979-MN-028384
Baptism: 14 Apr 1895, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

As Berit Andersdatter Ellingbø, she is living with her parents and siblings in the 1910 Norwegian census.

She arrived in New York on April 3, 1915, aboard the S.S. Kristianiafjord which had departed Bergen on March 25th. Berit was single, age 20, occupation domestic. She gave her father Anders T. Ellingbö of Vang, Valders, as her nearest relative in the country she had come from. She was traveling with her cousin Marit (10705).

In the 1916 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingboe, seamstress, boarding at 4341 Nokomis Avenue.

She may be the Bertha Elingbow, a helper/laundress at Sheltering Arms, in the 1917 and 1918 Minneapolis city directories. There are no other Bertha Ellingboe variants in those two city directories.

In the 1918 Alien Registration, she was Bertha Ellingbo, age 23, of Minneapolis.

In the 1919 city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingbo who is a machine operator for Brown Brothers Mercantile Co. She boarded at 3500 16th Avenue S.

She is the Bertha Ellingbo, “sister-in-law”, living with the Mary and Conrad Hanson family in Minneapolis in the 1920 census. (Also see 6236.) She is a tailoress and came to the U.S. in 1915.

She died as Bertha E. Hanson, wife of Henry A. The informant for her death certificate was Burton Hanson. Her parents were Anders Ellingboe and Ingeborg Qvale. This is a different father than the Ole Ellingboe who Burton Hanson said was his mother’s father. Bertha was a seamstress engaged in the tailoring business. She died from a stroke. Her usual residence was 3414 Minnehaha Avenue.

Jim’s site’s Valdres Slekt does not include Berit in the children of Anders and Ingeborg. Nor does the bygdebok.

Buried:
Section C-15, Site 11053

Berit married Henry A HANSON on 3 Apr 1920 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Henry (son of Hans Andreas HALSEIDE and Anna Serine Pedersdatter) was born on 14 Jul 1891 in Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway; died on 1 Sep 1953 in Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 3 Sep 1953 in Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Tollef Andersson ELLINGBÖ

(125.Ingeborg⁵, 43.Ole⁴, 17.Gjertrud³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born on 3 Feb 1898 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 6 Nov 1956 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; was buried on 17 Nov 1956 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway.

Other Events and Attributes:

Baptism: 3 Mar 1898, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

He is listed with his parents and siblings in the 1910 Norwegian census.

The bygdebok says he never married. He was a teacher in Hommelvik, Malvik.

Find A Grave incorrectly has his birth year as 1838. It also says, incorrectly, that he was married to “Synnave Ellingbøe.”

The confusion is because his gravestone is shared with Synnave Ellingbøe (#I31402). She is his niece, the daughter of Ola Ellingbøe and Anne Ellingbøe of Njüko.

Atof L LARSON

(128.Anne⁵, 45.Ove⁴, 18.Vilhjølm³, 6.Maren², 1.Ove¹) was born in Apr 1873 in Wisconsin.

Notes:

Still single and living with his mother and siblings in the 1900 census.

He was a postmaster in Norske, Wisconsin, in 1902.

He may be the Atof Larson mentioned in the Wausau Daily Herald on 21 Mar 1908 as recently returning home from Wittenberg, where he had been employed as a bookkeeper in a department store.

The 3 Sep 1908 edition of the WDF mentions a Mrs. Atof Larson, sister of George Nelson of Rosholt. He married her in Shawano County on 12 Oct 1905.

Similarly, he may be the Atof Larson in the 23 Aug 1909 edition of the WDH mentioned as leaving for Rosholt, where he will remain for some time.

Atof married Kate NELSON on 12 Oct 1905 in Shawano County, Wisconsin. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Probably the 35 year-old Julia Larson who was single and a servant for a family in Harrison Township, Waupaca County, in the 1910 census.

Probably the Julia, wife of Louis J. Merde (b. 15 May 1884, d. Sep 1963), farmer, Harrison, in the 1920 census. She had an 8 year-old son Julian (b. 29 May 1911, d. Feb 1977) and a 5 year-old daughter Luela.

An article in the Bellingham Herald, May 1, 1925:

Andrew Lynde Williams Jr., son of the late “Andy” Williams, veteran police chief of Bellingham, and Whatcom County Sheriff, who died at Okanogan recently, was committed to the Northern State hospital at Sedro-Woolley, at conclusion of a sanity hearing in the superior court Thursday afternoon. The younger Williams’ condition, it was said, followed as a result of a series of accidents and severe disappointments. Early this year he went to Alaska to work at one of the fish canneries but was brought back last week when his condition became worse.

Treatment at the Northern State Hospital is expected to result in improvement. As a youth, he is recalled as a star player in the backfield of Whatcom high school’s football team. He foremerly served on the Bellingham police department, in which latter service deafness developed. The young man gained recognition for his services in the aviation at Kelly field during the world war. The story is told that he faked his way into the army air service by reading the physical examiner’s lips, having acquired that ability after becoming partially deaf.

In the 1930 census, he is living with his sister and family in Bellingham. He was a steamship mechanic. That census shows that Andrew was a veteran of the World War.

An obit in the Bellingham Herald, headlined Lynde Williams Dies, in the September 13, 1930 edition:

Lynde (Windy) Williams, son of the late Andy Williams, veteran police officer and one time sheriff and acting chief of police, died after a brief illness today on a ranch in Okanogan county where he had spent the greater part of the last ten years.

Williams was a former member of the local fire and police departments and also served for some time as night merchant patrolman. He also made several trips to Alaska with P.A.F. crews and, since leaving Bellingham, made a few trips as assistant engineer on ocean steamers.

During his high school days at Whatcom, Williams was a football star, playing on the same team with Fred Spenger, Ben Tidball, Tom Gaffney, Starr Sutherland and other well remembered players.

So far as could be learned here, the only close relative surviving is a sister, Mrs. Layman (Esther) Day, who resides on the Okanogan farm. Williams was about 38 years of age.

An article in the September 16, 1930, edition of the Bellingham Herald notes that Lynde Williams was given a military funeral, officiated by the local Albert J. Hamilton post of the American Legion. Williams had been a charter member of the post. During the World War, he was a sergeant first class in the air service.

His draft registration shows 18 August 1890, which may be correct if he was 40 when he died.

Buried:

Notes:

Her signature on her marriage certificate shows a definite backward tilt so she may have been left-handed.

Her birth is probably the one recorded for Andrew F Williams in Waupaca County on 2 April 1893.

In the 1910 Bellingham, Washington, city directory, she is Esther G Williams, student, boarding at her father’s house at 1513 E.

Minnesota Death Certificate: 2016-MN-024663

Notes:

Fremont Frazee of Fergus Falls, age 98, passed away on July 28, 2016, at PioneerCare. He was born on November 1, 1917 to Harry and Susie Frazee in Pelican Rapids, MN.

Fremont was a no-frills, independent-minded man. He lived his life on his terms, with his family and faith at the forefront. If his life was made into a movie, the song “My Way”, sung by Frank Sinatra, would be the theme song.

His parents and grandparents were involved in flour milling, lumber milling, and banking in northern Minnesota. Fremont began his work life at the age of 12, necessitated by the losses his family endured as a result of the Great Depression. He was a news boy for the Minneapolis Tribune. He continued in this role until he graduated from Pelican High School in 1935. After graduating, he moved to Thief River where he supervised delivery of the Tribune for northern Minnesota. He developed close relationships with the newsboys he supervised and remained in contact with some of them his entire life. He joined the US Army when World War II began. He served as an operating room technician/medic in northern France and England. Many stories were told of his experiences in the war and he remained in contact with several friends that he met during the war throughout his life.

When he returned from his service in World War II, he began his career as a wholesale produce dealer. He delivered locally grown produce (a novel idea at the time), mostly potatoes, to area stores, restaurants, schools, and nursing homes. He continued in this job until larger companies took over that market. The most important event that occurred when he returned from World War II was meeting Pauline Ekeberg in 1948 in Pelican Rapids. After several years of courtship, they married in 1953 in Ft. Collins, CO. This was followed by a six-week honeymoon along the West Coast. They began their married lives in Pelican Rapids and at Fish Lake. They later moved to Fergus Falls, where they have lived for over 50 years. They had three children: Paula, Linda, and Jana. He was very proud of his children and later, his 3 grandchildren, Luke, Ryan, and Laura, children of Paula and Dan. There was nothing more important to him than attending their events and supporting their endeavors. Linda, their Down Syndrome daughter, held a very special place in his heart. She passed away in December of 2015 and was missed terribly.

Fremont enjoyed travel with his family, especially visiting extended family across the country. He insisted on family pictures to commemorate those events and every other family event, much to the dismay, at times, of those involved. He also loved tape recording/interviewing family members, friends, and sometimes even tour guides at places the family visited. He was always curious and enjoyed learning as much as he could about where we were.

One of his favorite places to be was Fish Lake, north of Pelican Rapids. He purchased the land where their cabin still stands in the 1940s. It has been the go-to gathering place for family and extended family from the beginning. One of his favorite memories was of their young grandchildren running to greet them when they got to the lake. It continues to be a gathering place for family to this day.

Another one of Fremont’s loves was big band Jazz! He saw almost every well-known jazz band from his era, with the exclusion of Glenn Miller, which he still regretted into his 90s! He even went to see Louie Armstrong in Fargo the week after his first daughter was born, leaving his wife and daughter behind. You can see why their marriage lasted 63 years ~ his wife, Pauline, understood the importance of his passion! When he was in basic training and/or leave in the Army, he would often visit New York and, and as a soldier in uniform, was given the royal treatment when attending jazz events. He never had any qualms about starting up a conversation with anyone, and would simply walk up to the bands and visit with the band members during their breaks. Another favorite memory of his was when he was assigned to be an army escort for Jimmy Durante when he was performing in a club in New York City.

Fremont was a voracious reader, especially non-fiction. If he finished a book he was reading, an encyclopedia was just as fun until he got his next book! He had a terrific memory for facts, dates, and people that amazed many, even until his last day when he recalled the family members of his Hospice nurse who grew up in Pelican Rapids over 60 years ago.

He will be terribly missed by his family and those that knew him. As Clarence said in “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “A man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” There is/will be a definite hole in many of our lives. But, quoting from “It’s a Wonderful Life” again, “All you can take with you is that which you've given away... that things of true worth are not measured in dollars, but in the currency of friendship and family, and the good karma one puts out into the world.” He gave so many so much, most of which did not cost a dime or give him any recognition. He has now received his reward. May he rest in peace.

Fremont is survived by his wife, Pauline Frazee of Fergus Falls; daughters, Paula (Dan Sperling) Frazee-Sperling and Jana Frazee, all of Fargo, ND; and grandchildren, Luke (Megan) Sperling of Omaha, NB, Ryan Sperling and Laura Sperling, both of Fargo, ND.

An article in the Bellingham Herald, May 1, 1925:

Andrew Lynde Williams Jr., son of the late “Andy” Williams, veteran police chief of Bellingham, and Whatcom County Sheriff, who died at Okanogan recently, was committed to the Northern State hospital at Sedro-Woolley, at conclusion of a sanity hearing in the superior court Thursday afternoon. The younger Williams’ condition, it was said, followed as a result of a series of accidents and severe disappointments. Early this year he went to Alaska to work at one of the fish canneries but was brought back last week when his condition became worse.

Treatment at the Northern State Hospital is expected to result in improvement. As a youth, he is recalled as a star player in the backfield of Whatcom high school’s football team. He foremerly served on the Bellingham police department, in which latter service deafness developed. The young man gained recognition for his services in the aviation at Kelly field during the world war. The story is told that he faked his way into the army air service by reading the physical examiner’s lips, having acquired that ability after becoming partially deaf.

In the 1930 census, he is living with his sister and family in Bellingham. He was a steamship mechanic. That census shows that Andrew was a veteran of the World War.

An obit in the Bellingham Herald, headlined Lynde Williams Dies, in the September 13, 1930 edition:

Lynde (Windy) Williams, son of the late Andy Williams, veteran police officer and one time sheriff and acting chief of police, died after a brief illness today on a ranch in Okanogan county where he had spent the greater part of the last ten years.

Williams was a former member of the local fire and police departments and also served for some time as night merchant patrolman. He also made several trips to Alaska with P.A.F. crews and, since leaving Bellingham, made a few trips as assistant engineer on ocean steamers.

During his high school days at Whatcom, Williams was a football star, playing on the same team with Fred Spenger, Ben Tidball, Tom Gaffney, Starr Sutherland and other well remembered players.

So far as could be learned here, the only close relative surviving is a sister, Mrs. Layman (Esther) Day, who resides on the Okanogan farm. Williams was about 38 years of age.

An article in the September 16, 1930, edition of the Bellingham Herald notes that Lynde Williams was given a military funeral, officiated by the local Albert J. Hamilton post of the American Legion. Williams had been a charter member of the post. During the World War, he was a sergeant first class in the air service.
