I Frøholm står det at Velgjerd og Vilhjølm også hadde datteren Ingrid Baggetun (1758-) som giftet seg med Simen K Søyne, men hun er datter av Vilhjølm Andrisson (se Frøholm side 594 og 611). Vilhjølm fikk gården av sin tante Ragndi som var gift med Torkjell T Gåsedelen Vilhjølm lånte, som faren også hadde gjort, mange penger av presten Castberg, som må ha vårt oldefaren hans.

Vilhjølm married Velgjerd Jonsdatter ELLINGBØ in 1758 in Norway. Velgjerd (daughter of Jon Trondsen STEINDE and Berit Embriksdatter ELLINGBØ) was born in 1732 in Norway; died in 1805 in Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There are two opinions on who her parents were, both expressed in the Vang A bygdebok:

1) Jim’s VS calls her Ingrid Vilhjølmsdtr Ellingbø (1758-1780) and says that her parents were Vilhjølm Andrisson Baggetun (1720-1787) and Guri Torleivsdatter Møsåker (1728-1763). This is consistent with p. 594 of the bygdebok. THIS ALTERNATIVE IS SHOWN AS 22167 AND 22168 AND INCLUDES HER DAUGHTER GURI SIMENSDATTER.

Jim’s notes on her in VS: Frøholm har to sett foreldre på henne, men det mest sansynlige er at dette er de riktige foreldrene. Men han har ført henne opp som datter til Vilhjølm Jonsen Baggetun og Velgjerd Jonsdtr Ellingbø også (se Frøhom side 611) I Kirkeboka står det at hun bodde på Baggetun da hun døde.

2) As suggested in the notes above, the Vang A bygdebok also says, on p. 611, that her parents were Vilhjølm Jonsen Baggetun (1736-1768) and Velgjerd Jonsdatter Ellingbø (1732-1805). THIS ALTERNATIVE IS SHOWN HERE.

Jim’s Ellingboe tree is silent on her parents.

Jim’s notes:

Oppfostret av bestefaren Trond (far til Kattevøladn). Mange mente han ble en ny utgave av den gamle patriarken. Han var en flink bonde og Kattevold 44/ var toppgården i Vang på den tiden. Han ble ofte truet på livet fordi han alltid var ute etter all råskapen og fanteriet som var i Vang på den tiden. Han gjorde mye for skolene i bygda, bl.a skaffet han lærebøker. Han ville at ungene skulle lese ordentlige bøker, og ble sint hvis han så at de leste

(BK. "Gamalt frå Vang): " Han Trond flytta aat Bø og brukte gard'n der i 9 aar. Ein drivande garbrukar var han, og der flødde taa alle ting i Bø i dei aaro. Daa bestefar'n dø, kom dei te Kattevøl, og dei kom ikkje tomhendis. Ei heil dreft med hesta og fe hadde dei med se or Bø. Slik heimafyld hadde ingjen sett før her i bygd'n.

Endaa va det kje følketomt paa Kattevøl; mange ledige dagdrivarar med lite te bite, og lite te slite. Dei nebbast som smaafugla, ner ein lit'n jobb va te bøans. men han Trond kunna mynstre og stramma dei, so fekk dei nøkk fart i se. I baao støgo Sygarde va det ei babelsk førvirring hjaa frendo hans, som heldt paa fara utaaver bakkin, og Trond stræva lenge med o faa dei te seta føta unde se. Han fekk ikkje stort att før strævet sitt, vart helda misskjent mangei gøng; men sia kom dei daa te kjenne han før den velmeinte og reale mann, som han virkele va.

Da han giftet seg andre gang, kom rampen og skulle røve bruden. Men hun kom ikke ut. De låste derfor alle inne i huset der festen var. Da Trond giftet seg med Ingeborg flyttet han til Bø 25/ og drev den til stesønnen Amund ble så stor at han kunne overta gården i 1823, Trond fikk livaure på Bø 25/ av stesønnen. (BK "Gamat fra Vang).

Trond døde antakelig av lungebetennelse. BK skriver: "Trond Jonson fø 5. januar 1855. Han for på Øyremarkna'n um hausten og lei so vondt paa ture at han fekk banin sin taa det. Maren Bøyesdøtte. Ekja ette hono dø um hauste 1873."

From the Hills Crescent, courtesy of Katherine:

December 4, 1913
William Ellingboe Passes Away. This week it becomes the painful duty of the Cresent to chronicle the death of one of Hills most respected citizens, Mr. William Ellingboe, who died at Rochester hospital on the morning of December 3rd, where he went to have an operation for abdomen trouble.
He suffered with several severe hemorrhages of the stomach about a year ago and was ill for a couple of months but since then had been able to be about the streets until about three weeks ago when he was again taken sick…. His daughter Mrs. Emma Shortt was in constant attendance at his bedside (at Rochester).
Mr. Ellingboe was 74 on November 7th, and was one of the pioneer settlers of Martin township, having lived on the old home farm since 1873 until about two years ago, when the family moved to Hills.
Deceased was married in Wisconsin and is survived by a wife, seven daughters and one son, two children, a boy and a girl, having proceeded their father to the Great Beyond.
In spite of his advanced years Mr. Ellingboe was of a jolly disposition and always had a kind word for everyone. Much could be written concerning the early history of the deceased since coming to this township and settling here, when this county was a veritable wilderness as he was numbered among the first pioneers to settle this section of the county.

December 11, 1913
Obit. William Ellingboe was born in Vang Valders, Norway on November 7th, 1839 and died December 3rd, 1913.
He was united in marriage to the wife that survives him on September 30, 1866 at Jefferson Prairie, Wisconsin.
Deceased leaves a wife and the following children to mourn him: Ole of Hills, Miss Betsy Olena of Los Angeles, CA, Miss Bertha and Luella of Tempe, AZ, Mrs. W.H. Shortt of Sioux City, IA, Mrs. Sherman Coxe of Denver, CO, Mrs. W.A. West of Sioux Falls, SD, Miss Ida of Hills.

His obit in the Sioux Falls newspaper:

Funeral services for the late William Ellingboe, father of Mrs. William West of this city, were held at Hills, Minnesota, this afternoon. The deceased died at Rochester, Minnesota, on December 3rd following an operation for abdominal trouble. Mr. Ellingboe was 74 years old and one of the pioneer settlers of Martin township, Rock County, where he had lived on a farm until about two years ago when the family moved to Hills. He is survived by his wife, seven daughters, and one son.

He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books), as “William Ellingboe Hills Minn.” His entry shows that he was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1913 and that he came to America in 1866.

In a 1914 land ownership map of Rock County, Minnesota, W O Ellingboe owned 160 acres in Section 29 of Martin Twp, about a mile and a half west of the village of Hills. His farm consisted of two 80 acre parcels, the north half of the southwest quarter and the east half of the northwest quarter.

William’s last will and testament was dated 22 Mar 1912. It names his son Ole as his executor. The two 80 acre parcels were to go to his wife, as a life estate, and then to William’s seven daughters after Ambjor’s death. In addition, his two daughters Betsey Ellingboe and Emma Ellingboe Shortt were to receive immediately on his death $100 each. The rest of his estate was to go to his son Ole and the seven daughters, share and share alike.

Family/Spouse: Tosten Østensen BØE. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is I2274 in Jim’s VS.

In the 1865 census he was the Gaardbruger og Selveier of Kvale 28 in Vang.

Family/Spouse: Inglev Larsdatter WANGENSTEEN. Inglev (daughter of Lars Nilsson STELE WANGENSTEEN and Maren Jonsdatter KVAM) was born about 1825 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is named in the church book birth record as the father of Ove O Ellingboe (#3231). However, that is quite unlikely due to the lack of corresponding matches in modern DNA testing results.

Ove Vilhelmson later married and moved his family to America in 1849.

The 1849 date is confirmed by the Digitalarkivet: Migrants from Valdres 1816-67 database. The 30 year-old Ove Vilhelmsen of Bagethun farm in Vang, Valdres, left for America in April of 1849. The notes for the entry say “Amerika - Tilladelse Ifølge Resl Af 6 Febr D. A.” Accompanying him were his wife, Anne Andersdatter, 27, and their two daughters, Anne Ovesdatter, 5, and Berith Ovesdatter, 1 and 1 months. In the church book’s emigration record, Ove and Anne and family left Vang on April 4, 1849.

Probably he is the “Oval Williamson” farming in Muskego, Waukesha County, Wisconsin, in the 1850 census (September 18th). The farm is worth $600. The family consists of Oval Williamson, 43, his wife Ann, 30, and their daughters Ann, 6, and Betsey, 3. They were all born in Norway and the girls had not begun school yet.

In the 1860 census (July 3rd), the family had moved to the town of Scandinavia in Waupaca County, Wisconsin. The family consisted of Over Williamsen, 40, Ann, 40, Ann, 16, Betsey, 12, William, 10, Andrew, 7, Dena, 5, Boga, 2, and Over, 1. The census form notes that the four oldest children attended school and that the children from William on were born in this country. The value of the family’s real estate was $1000 and the value of their personal property was $300.

In the 1870 census (August 9th), the family was still living in Scandinavia, Waupaca County. The family consisted of Ova Williamson, 51, Anna, 50, Anna, 24, Andrew, 17, daughter Dina, 14, son Boie, 12, Edward, 10, and Antone, 8. The real estate is worth $1400 and the family’s personal property is worth $550. Couldn’t find William in the 1870 census.

In the 1880 census (June 21st), the family is still in Scandinavia Township. The household consists of Ove Wilhelmson, 61, Anne, 50, Dinah, 24, and G. Anton, 17. Dinah is noted as being disabled by “female complaints.”

In the 1895 state census (June 20th) the O. Williams household had 4 people: 3 males and one female; 1 foreign born in Scandinavia, 3 born in the U.S. This suggests that his wife wasn’t in the household.

The 1895 biography of his son Buck says this about Ove:

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.

He died and was buried as O Williams.

The 1889 plat map of Scandinavia Twp, and the 1912 land ownership map shows a 120 acre parcel owned by “Ove Williamson.” The farm was probably being run by Anton and Dena in 1912. The parcel is defined as the eastern half of the northeast quarter of Section 18 and the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 18. Today, this parcel is about three miles west of the village of Scandinavia and about 4 miles northeast of Amherst. The parcel is nearly bisected by County Road B and its western boundary is, in part, Gilman Road. The Tomorrow River State Trail (on the old Green Bay and Western railroad right-of-way) is just south of the parcel. The portion of the parcel north of County Road B is now forest. The current location of the farmhouse (on the south side of County Road B, about 750 feet east of Gilman Road) appears to be where it was in 1912.

The Wisconsin Land Patent Database shows three parcels for Ove in Section 18:

1) 40 acres in 23N, 11E, granted to Ove Wilhelmsen through the Stevens Point land office on 15 Dec 1855.
2) 40 acres in 23N, 11E, granted to Ove Wilhelmsen through the Stevens Point land office on 1 Sep 1856.
3) 40 acres in 23N, 11E, granted to Ove Williamson through the Wausau land office on 20 Mar 1875.

Only Mattie and Severt are still living at home with Anne and him in the 1880 census although also living with them is a four-year-old grandson named Frank H. O’Donald whose father was born in Ireland. Presumably little Frank’s mother is either Anne the younger or Mary.

Notes:

In the 1885 state census, he is probably the Ole Dalager, age 21, living with Ole A Dalager, 57 and Isabel, 59, in Udolpho Twp, Mower County. Also in that household are Betsy, 18, Anton, 15, and Emma, 12. The two youngest children were born in Minnesota, everyone else in Norway.

The 1889 article on their wedding in the Mower County Transcript refers to him as Ole Dalager Jr.

In the 1900 census, he and his family live in Austin in Mower County. He is a traveling salesman. Daisy has had only the three children, all born in Minnesota. He had come to the U.S. in 1872.

In the 1910 census, he may be the 45 year-old Ole A Dalager living in Ward County, North Dakota. He was a boarder in a rooming house and he was a painter of houses.

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.

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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. Mable is in school.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
