Notes:

In a transcribed list of baptisms from the Slidre church book records, Torger (christened 9 Oct 1791) was the illegitimate son of Torger Olson Windingstad and Barbro Knudsdotter. He was a soldier and she was a "pige".

His father had another illegitimate son name Torgeir in 1800.

In 1795, Barbro married Lars Gullikson Tüf and her son Torger Torgerson must have been raised on the Tüf farm. In the 1801 Census Torger was age 9, living with Lars Gullichsen and his wife Barbroe Knudsdatter in Røens Annex, Slidre, Christians Amt.

It is reasonable to assume that he became the crofter on the plot of land on the farm Tüf, in V. Slidre, that had a crofter's place that was once called Torgersplassen. It is now 84/2 Moen. Torger's son, Knut Torgersson, bought it in 1856 and sold it to Ole Knutsen Robøle (Raabøle) from Øystre Slidre in 1859.

Knudt and Elizabeth were killed when their car was hit by a North Western Railroad Streamliner train at a crossing in Menasha. He apparently didn’t see the approaching train and was hit broadside. The couple was on their way home after a visit to Oshkosh. The train hit the left rear corner of the car, a Buick coupe, throwing it into the air and into a telephone pole which broke off about 15 feet above the ground. Authorities believed that the car would have cleared the track if it had traveled just 4 feet more. The wig-wag signal at the crossing was reported to have been working properly according to witnesses to the crash.

A brief article in the October 30, 1941, edition of the Manitowoc Herald Times:

Oscar Ellingboe, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, building contractor in the county on business this week recalled the striking differences in ship building now and 80 years ago.

Mr. Ellingboe is a former Gibson resident. He and Mrs. Ellingboe have been visiting with relatives at Two Rivers and at Gibson. His father, Helge, and grandfather, Knud Thompson, cut tall trees from the forests in Two Creeks, sheared off the bark, and delivered them in Milwaukee for use as masts in sailing vessels. Most of these trips were made in small craft.

Mr. Ellingboe recalled that on one of the return trips his father and grandfather were forced to walk from Milwaukee and carried with them a much-needed plow.

When he registered for the draft in 1942, he lived at 316 Wells, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The person who would always know his address was Ada C Ellingboe of the same address. His employer was Hobart Hermansen.

In the 1950 census, he was a carpenter living in Lake Geneva as a “roomer” with the Harry Becker family. Oscar was 65 and a widower.

Notes:

Jim Ellingboe passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 5, 2013 with his family beside him after a two-year struggle with lymphoma.

Jim was born in 1937 in Wilmington, Delaware and attended DuPont High School. Despite disliking school, he was precocious and curious, creating his own experiments at home and learning to take things apart and put them together again. He met with some success, winning first prize at the State Science Fair in Delaware (and second prize nationally), and achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Jim attended Oberlin College and studied abroad in Geneva, Switzerland, followed by earning a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Harvard Medical School. He worked as a biochemical researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden where he met his wife of 46 years, Karin. They married in Stockholm in 1967 and had their first child, a daughter Randi, the following year. The young family soon moved to the U. S., first living in the San Diego area, and then settling in Massachusetts where their children Christopher and Anna were born. Jim directed research laboratories first at Boston City Hospital and then for 21 years at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Center at McLean Hospital. As an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard, he worked with graduate students, many of whom kept in contact with him over the years as their careers unfolded. Later in his career, Jim served as the scientific editor of the magazines BioTechniques and Peptide Research, where he continued to make use of his extensive network in the research community.

Jim was a man of strong beliefs. These were borne out in his many community involvements as well as in his devoted care and support of family, friends, and colleagues. As a young man, he became a convinced Friend (Quaker) and registered as a conscientious objector. He was an active member of Acton Friends Meeting and served on the permanent board of the New England Yearly Meeting of Friends. His perspective was defined by a life-long curiosity, and in the tradition of his Norwegian farmer forebears, he was an intrepid do-it-yourself man. He enjoyed the never ending task of home improvement, insisting on completing most work by himself, and sharing these values and skills with his children. As a testament to his deep appreciation of nature, Jim served on the Littleton Conservation Commission and supported environmental protection organizations. He maintained a quiet friendship with the lonely swan of Matawanakee Lake, and always had binoculars available to enjoy and share the wonders of nature. Jim was an avid photographer of the natural world, especially during travels to Scandinavia and canoeing and camping trips in Maine. In Jim’s free time he indulged his hobby of genealogical research. He reestablished connections with his distant relations in Norway, and regularly corresponded and created family reunions with these relatives. He developed a large database of historical information, served as an information resource for many Ellingboe descendants, and attended and presented at gatherings of Norwegian heritage associations in the U.S. Midwest.

Jim is remembered with love and gratitude by his wife, three children, sister, three grandchildren, extended family and a wide circle of friends. His peaceful, humble, and loving nature will be deeply missed.
