She is Jørand Torsteinsdatter Lome, I19667, in Jim’s VS. Jim has her mistakenly born in Lome.

dwfrench1 calls her Jørand Tostensdatter Kjorlien.

In the 1900 census, she had had 5 children, all still living. She came to the U.S. in 1869.

Other Events and Attributes:

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1941-MN-002398
• Baptism: 25 May 1863, Vestre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is I8325 in Jim’s Ellingboe tree revised on 24 Feb 2012. Jim shows no parents for her.

In his notes for her in that tree, Jim says: “She is probably the daughter of Knut Iverson Eltun and Gjertrud Thomasdotter Eltun. Knut moved to Bøkkadn (33/3) on N. Ellingbøe in 1868. Gjertrud's mother was Sigrid Ivarsdotter Kjerstein (1805-1879). Eltun is next to Kjerstein and there were many connections between the families. If she is this person, she would have been born 17 Apr 1863 and baptized 26 Apr 1863.”

She is not listed in Jim’s VS, either as Thrond’s wife or as Torstein Torsteinsen’s daughter.

Jim’s attribution of parentage to Knut and Gjertrud is not consistent with Anna’s 1884 marriage record to Thrond in which she is shown as Anna Thostensen Kjersten, age 20. It is also not consistent with the birth record for Anna and Thrond’s first child born in Maynard on 13 Jan 1886. In that Wang Lutheran Church record, the child’s mother is clearly shown to be “Anne T. Kjerstine.”

The parentage shown here is consistent with the birth record of the Anna born in Vestre Slidre (p.87, Vestre Slidre prestekontor 1856-1864). The farm name of that Anna’s father is something like Risiskeiet. That is consistent with Tosten Tostensen being on the Rusiskaaret farm in Vestre Slidre in the 1865 census. The bygdebok (Vang A, p. 239) shows that Tosten, son of Tosten Ivarsson Kjerstein, married Randi and left for Vestre Slidre in 1860.

Called Anna Thompson in MOMS when she married Trond in 1884. Called Anna Thostensen Kjerstein in the ELCA record (Our Savior’s in Sacred Heart) for that marriage.

Emigrated in 1867 according to the 1900 census. At that time she was 37 and a widow living with her family on a farm in Wang Township, Renville County. The household consisted of Anna, 37 (b. Mar 1863), Trond, 14 (b. Jun 1886 in Minnesota), Dina, 10 (b.. Jun 1889), Theodor, 8 (b. Oct 1891), Christine, 5 (b. Mar 1895), and Ida H., 2 (b. June 1897).

A 1913 land ownership map of Wang Twp, Renville County, shows that she owned an 80 acre parcel in or near the village or community of New Lisbon. Her parcel is contiguous and made up of the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter and the northwest quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 9.

In the 1920 census, as “Mrs. Tom,” she was keeping house for her single, 27 year-old son Theodore in Tioga Twp, Williams County, North Dakota. She was shown, probably erroneously, as 63 years old.

Living with Helen and Helen’s husband at the time of the 1930 census. In that census, she was indicated as having come to this country in 1866.

In the 1940 census, she lived in Stoneham Twp, Chippewa County, with her daughter and son-in-law, Helen and William Kramer, in the same house in which they all had lived five years earlier. Anna had a fifth-grade education.

She died from pernicious anemia.

Anna married Trond Trondsson ELLINGBØE on 26 Feb 1884 in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota. Trond (son of Trond Iversson ELLINGBØE (OPDAL, UVDAL) and Kjersti Helgesdotter KJERSTEIN) was born on 1 Jun 1858 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 7 Nov 1897 in Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota; was buried on 10 Nov 1897 in Wangs Lutheran Church Cemetery, Wang Twp, Renville County, Minnesota.

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. At that time, Rande had had 10 children, 8 still living, and 7 of whom (Thorsten A, Olaf, Maria, Hannah, Harald, Ruth, and Rudolph) were still living with her and Thorsten. 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.

Notes:

Born on Ellingbø Bøkko 33/3 according to Trudy.

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.

Of 30/1.

From an article in the Minot Daily News, November 26, 2021:

ALEXANDER – The Haugen Ranch of Alexander was honored recently with the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association’s Rancher of the Year award.

The award was presented at a special awards banquet held during the organization’s annual convention in Fargo this past September. Seventy-five-year NDSA members and ranch proprietors Les and Shelly, along with their son Lane and daughter-in-law Kristan, run the cow-calf operation in McKenzie County.

In 1912, Lars and Christine (Dahl) Haugen homesteaded Haugen Ranch, 15 miles south of Alexander. They had made the voyage from Vang, Valdres, Norway, unwed at the time, and arrived at the port in Boston, Mass., one month apart from each other. In November 1912, Lars filed for land in Bowline Township in northwestern North Dakota and he began living on the land shortly after. Lars and Christine were married March 17, 1915. They began their married life on an empty prairie with empty hands, ready to work. In 1916, the land was officially patented as their own.

“One-hundred-and-five years later, Haugen Ranch lives on,” said Shelly, noting the family’s centennial celebration, which took place in 2016. “It has been fun and honorable to see Lars’ and Christine’s vision when they settled here mold into something they could only dream of. We keep building and we strive to be better each day.”

Lars and Christine had three children, all born on the homestead. Their sons, Orville and Luther, were farmers and ranchers living south of Alexander and their daughter Inga became a nurse and moved to town.

Luther Haugen married Florence and, in 1946, they purchased the family’s ranch and became North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) members. In 1949, Luther relocated the ranch to its present location, two miles north of the original homestead. The homestead’s outbuildings still function as usable facilities today.

Luther passed away at the age of 50 in 1972. Florence and their four children, Les, Judy, Laura and Kay, continued to live and work on the ranch after Luther’s death. Florence retired in 1980 and, in 1981, Les and Shelly began purchasing the ranch from Florence and Les’s sisters. Les and Shelly continued to expand the ranching and farming operations, growing and adding acreage with each generation. They made it a point with their three children, Callie, Lane and Tess, to instill the tight-knit, hardworking family values of the western heritage. Les and Shelly give a lot of credit to the success of the ranch to their children for their hard work and continued dedication to the operation.

Les and Shelly introduced Charolais cattle into the commercial herd. The cattle herd presently consists of black and black baldy cows and still uses Angus and Charolais genetics. They calve in April, wean in the fall and sell to repeat private buyers. In addition, they keep black replacement females when able.

The Haugen family also hosts a large branding each year. “We do it the traditional way — with a rope and drag,” said Les. “Our neighbors come from all around. They play a vital part in our operation on branding day, and every other day of the year.” The Haugens credit not only the family for good help, but the indispensable and strong neighbor relationship the community around them has. “We are family-oriented and neighbor-oriented,” said Kristan. “Everyone around here helps each other and makes the world go round. It’s truly special.”

Today, Les, Shelly, Lane and Kristan operate Haugen Ranch and hold the Haugen Ranch’s NDSA membership. They’ve been a member for many years because the NDSA has the best of North Dakota cattle producers in mind, Les said.

Before returning to the ranch full-time, Lane received a welding degree and worked in the oilfield, while staying active on the family’s operation. Now, that education serves as a means for making the ranch more self-sufficient. “From being able to do the repairs that are necessary to raising our own feed and making our own hay, we prefer to be self-sufficient in every way possible,” said Lane. “Everyone has a hand in the operation to do so, including our children, Henri and Ledger.” The family also said, with self-sufficiency, comes the ability to be sustainable and push the ranch’s goals to the next level. “We improve every day and strive to make things better,” said Lane.

“Being a rancher is a proud way to live,” said Les. “You make the best of your cattle, make a living and spend time with your family that is alongside you every day.” The next generation agreed as Kristan noted, “We are able to set our own goals and be self-motivated. We take pride every day in what we do.”

Les and Shelly look forward to seeing the next generation — their eight grandchildren, Hadley, Harley, Rio, River, Henri, Ledger, Tay and Rye — playing their own roles on the ranch and in life.

The Haugen Ranch is a North Dakota Centennial Heritage Ranch, receiving the honor in 2016. The Haugen family is a member of the NDSA, MonDak Stockgrowers Association, McKenzie County Grazing Association, North Dakota Farm Bureau, American Quarter Horse Association and MonDak Quarter Horse Association.

“The Haugen Ranch embodies North Dakota’s ranching spirit and work ethic,” said NDSA President Jeff Schafer, a New Rockford, N.D., cow-calf producer and feeder. “They are deserving of this prestigious award. Congratulations, Haugen Ranch.”
