Notes:

Born in Eltun 13/3, nedre. Resided in Bøkkadn 33/3 av Ellingbø. Died as Knut Iversen Ellingbö.

Han var først på Eltun 13/1 1851-1863. Han flyttet til Ellingbø 33/2 Bøkko i 1868. På Eltun var han postkar. Han fikk Eltun da han giftet seg, men solgte gården til Ivar I Uvdal (1862-1909) i 1863. De sies at det var Embrik og Helge Ellingbø som kjøpte Bøkkadn, som da nettopp var fradelt med eget nr. av Trond Ellingbø og solgte halvparten videre til Knut. og at Jond Endresen Ellingbø og Torstein, sønnen til Helge fikk overta hver sin halvpart. Men i opptegnelsene etter Yngve Ellingbø står det at Knut kjøpte gården av Trond I Ellingbø, fordi buskapen deres var drept av slagbjørn og at de derfor dro til USA.

Det er riktig at bjørnen herjet ganske mye på den tiden, og det __ kan hende at det var derfor de dro til USA, men i statsarkivet på Hamar er det dokumenter som __kan fortelle følgende:

Trond I Uvdal (se faren Ivar Uvdal) overtok i 1850. De hadde 8 barn, og dro til USA med alle barn som levde i 1862. De tok også med seg barna til datteren Velgjerd (Hun hadde to barn utenfor ekteskap). Gården ble så delt i 3 underbruk, 2 under husmannsplasser under Baggetun og ett under nordigarden av Ellingbø 33/1.

Livaursfolket Øystein og Ambjørg bodde her. Med skylddeling 7.10.1867 og 25.4.1868 ble gården delt i fire parter:
grn.: 33/3 Bøkkadn (Bøkko)
gnr.: 33/4 Fagerli (senere hotellet)
grn.: 31/1 Haugadn (som Bøland forpakter, leier eller bruker)
og grn.: 31/2 Grindaheim (nedlagt hotell på nedsiden av riksveien, Men som har gitt navnet til hotellet på Fagerlid). Hovedparten etter delingen var Bokko.

Knut __kan derfor neppe ha kjøpt gården direkte av eierne som ble rammet av bjørn. Det er heler ikke funnet noen dokumetasjon på at hele buskapen ble drept av bjørn, men i en protokoll fra 1860 heter det at to kviger og en kalv skal v?re drept av "biørn på seteren Grov ved Helin den sommeren."

Translated:

He was first at Eltun 13/1 1851-1863. He moved to Ellingbø 33/2 Bøkko in 1868. At Eltun he was a postman. He got Eltun when he got married, but sold the farm to Ivar I Uvdal (1862-1909) in 1863. They say that it was Embrik and Helge Ellingbø who bought Bøkkadn, who was then just separated with his own number by Trond Ellingbø and sold half on to Knut. and that Jond Endresen Ellingbø and Torstein, Helge's son, each took over half. But in the records after Yngve Ellingbø it says that Knut bought the farm from Trond I Ellingbø, because their livestock was killed by a bear and that they therefore went to the USA.

It is true that the bear ravaged quite a lot at that time, and that may be why they went to the USA, but in the state archives at Hamar there are documents that can tell the following:

Trond I Uvdal (see father Ivar Uvdal) took over in 1850. They had 8 children, and went to the United States with all the children who lived in 1862. They also took the children of their daughter Velgjerd (She had two children out of wedlock). The farm was then divided into 3 sub-farms, 2 under homesteads under Baggetun and one under the northern farm of Ellingbø 33/1.

The people of Øystein and Ambjørg lived here. With divisions dated 7.10.1867 and 25.4.1868 the farm was divided into four parts:
grn .: 33/3 Bøkkadn (Bøkko)
gnr .: 33/4 Fagerli (later the hotel)
grn .: 31/1 Haugadn (which Bøland leases, rents or uses)
and grn .: 31/2 Grindaheim (closed hotel on the lower side of the national road, But which has given the name to the hotel on Fagerlid). The majority after the division was Bokko.

Knut cannot therefore have bought the farm directly from the owners who were affected by bears. No documentation has been found that the whole herd was killed by a bear, but a protocol from 1860 states that two heifers and a calf were killed by "bears on the farm Grov by Helin that summer."

The other was this Randi, the illegitimate daughter of Iver Knutsson Ellingbö and Randi Olsdatter Ellingbö. Randi Iversdatter Ellingbö left Vang on 4 September 1889 for “St. Paul.” A Ragdi J. Ellingboe, spinster, age 19, arrived in New York on September 27, 1889, aboard the S.S. Britannic.

In the 1910 census, she and Thorsten and family were in Hickory Twp, Pennington County (formerly Red Lake County) in Minnesota.

Rande came to the U.S. in 1889.

A land ownership map from 1911 shows that the Kvale farm in Hickory Twp was 160 acres, the southeast quarter of Section 17.

They were still there in 1920. Rande came to the U.S. in 1889.

In the 1930 census, Randi and Thorsten Kvale were living in south Minneapolis (5344 30th Avenue South, near Lake Nokomis) with their daughters Ragna O, 18, and Agnes V., 16. Thorsten is a cabinet-maker with a sash and door firm.

Came to the U.S. in 1896, coming first to Maynard. Worked first for the Great Northern Railroad.

In the 1900 census, Knudt, 24, and his brother (apparently) Ole, 22, are single men boarding with a family in Sacred Heart, Renville County, Minnesota. Knudt “Elingoe” is shown as having been born in Norway in February of 1876 and having come to the U. S. in 1896. His occupation is saloon keeper.

At this point, he is working for his uncle’s saloon in Granite Falls. He later bought out his uncle and was the sole owner until 1903 when he sold the saloon/hotel in Sacred Heart and “engaged in general merchandise. The venture was unfortunate.” He went back to Granite Falls and ran a saloon.

In the 1905 state census, Knut, Clara, and Brunelle are living on Baldwin Street in Granite Falls. Knut is a saloon keeper. They had lived in Granite Falls for a year-and-a-half.

He moved to Milaca in 1905.

In the 1910 census, Knute and his family live in Milaca where Knute is the manager of a hardware store. The family consists of Knute I., 34, Clara A., 24, Brunelle M., 5, Harvey I or Q., 3, and Christine C., 1. Knute and Clara had been married for 7 years and these three children are the only ones Clara had had. Knute is shown as having come to the U.S. in 1880.

This was the Ellingboe Hardware Company which he managed until 1912 when he and a partner bought the Milaca State Bank. He bought out that partner in 1919.

Knute registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Princeton. His occupation is “banker” for the Milaca State Bank. His nearest relative is his wife Clara Ann. Knute is described as being of medium height and build with blue eyes and brown hair. He was a naturalized citizen.

Knute applied for his first passport in August of 1919 in Minneapolis. He intended to visit Norway to “visit aged parents.” This six-week trip is mentioned in the October 23, 1919, edition of the Princeton Union.

A Knute Ellingboe is listed in the 1920 and 1921 Minneapolis city directories at 2834 Chicago Avenue.

He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books), as Knudt Ellingboe of Milaca. He was a member of the Samband between 1905 and 1916.

In the 1920 census, Knute is shown as a bank president in Milaca. Although he is married, there is no wife listed as living with him. By that time, his wife Clara and their two children (Brunelle, 15, and Margaret, 10) are living in Minneapolis with Clara’s mother, Mary Austin.

Knute applied for a second passport on May 28, 1921, in Milaca. He was described as 45 years old, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, with blue eyes and a “regular” forehead and “regular” nose with a “straight, firm” mouth and a “square” chin. His hair was dark brown and “turning grey.” He had a ruddy complexion with an “oval, broad” face. He had the distinguishing mark of a “small wart inside right eyebrow.” In this application, he states that he came to the U.S. aboard the Christiania on May 1, 1896, and that he had resided, uninterruptedly, in Milaca for 16 years between 1905 and 1921. He conceded that his first passport, issued in Minneapolis in August of 1919, was “used and cancelled in visiting Norway.” Knute also states in this application that he was naturalized as a citizen of the U.S. in Granite Falls. He intends to leave from New York, aboard the Bergensfjord, on June 17, 1921.

On June 19, 1923, Knute served as the identifier for August Stromberg’s application for a U.S. passport. Knute, claiming that he resided in Milaca, the home of the applicant, said that he had known August Stromberg for 18 years and vouched for his identity.

In the 1930 census, Knute and his family lived on 2nd Avenue in Milaca where he was a loan agent for a trust company. The family lived in a house that Knute owned and that was valued at $5500. The family consisted of Knut, 53, Thora, 40, Robert T., 6, and Bertha E., 5. Thora was first married at age 32. Knute is shown as having come to the U. S. in 1905.

In the 1940 census, Knute and Thora and their two children lived in Milaca in the same house they had lived in in 1935. Thora’s father lives with them. Knute was an agent for an investors syndicate and earned $1025 in 1939. Knute had an eighth-grade education, Thora had had two years of college.

In the 1945 Faribault city directory, which includes Northfield, Knute and Thora live at 806 Forest Ave. Knute is a salesman.

In the 1948, 1950, and 1953 Rice County directories, Knute and Thora live at 915 W. 2nd Street in Northfield. Knute was a janitor at St. Olaf College.

In the 1950 census, Knute and Thora live at 915 W. 2nd Street in Northfield. He works as a custodian at an art barn at a college. Their household also includes Thora’s father and 8 lodgers, all of whom are probably students at St. Olaf. Those eight students, all either 19 or 20 years old, are: George K Lindberg, David Huseth, Robert Wrede, Owen Hawley, William Kopperud, Robert Hauge, Donald Maland, and Donald Myrald.

In the 1957 Faribault city directory, which includes Northfield, Knute and Thora were still at 915 W 2nd. Knute was an office worker for Edwin L Parson.



Knut’s last trip to Norway was in the summer of 1954. He arrived back in New York on 19 Jul 1954 from Oslo. An earlier trip was in 1919, right after the war. He arrived back in New York on October 7, 1919, aboard the S.S. Vangerfjord which had departed Kristiania on September 27, 1919. He went again in 1922. He arrived back in New York on September 9, 1921, aboard the S.S. Aquitania which had departed from Southampton on September 3rd.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He was a professor and soils scientist at the Crookston campus from 1942 until he retired in 1974. He specialized in crop rotation and the effects of soil fertilizers on sugar beets, sunflower seeds and other crops, said his son, Richard, of New Orleans.

He was manager of the Red Lake Watershed District from 1970 to '79 and a member of the board of managers for the Red River Valley Winter Show, an annual agricultural expo in Crookston. He was a Crookston City Council member and mayor in the mid-1960s.

Soine moved to the Twin Cities after he retired. His son said he recalled his father's former boss telling him that he was the "type of person who always got the job done."

He was active at Trinity Lutheran Church in Crookston and enjoyed woodworking.

In addition to his son, he is survived by his wife, Dora; two daughters, Kathleen McGee, of Salem, Ore., and Barbara Whitmore, of Minneapolis; a brother, Glenn, of Fridley; and two sisters, Lou Ella Nelson, of Apple Valley, and Thelma Ross, of Hopkins.
