Notes:

He was a husmand med jord on the Bakken 1 farm in the 1865 census in Vang. Living with him and Margrethe were their son John, their daughter Rangdi, and a foster datter, 10 year-old Magrethe Olsdatter.

The only Endre born in Vang in 1800 or 1801 was Endre, born as illegitimate on 22 Jun to Endre Johanssen and Guri Andfinsdatter of Oldre.

In his VS, Jim calls him Endre Jonson Heensåsen, 1799-1871, I8746. The bygdebok, p. 619, has him as a husmann on Bakkin, apparently a subfarm of Bagetun, from 1829.

Jim’s VS notes:

He is often called Ellingbø, why I do not know. Frøholm writes that the father was Jon Andersson and the mother was Randi Gudbrandsdt who was at Dalsøydegarden.

Frøholm skriver om Bakkin under Baggetun: "Bakkin var den største husmannsplassen under Baggetun, etter Grøv. han låg 200 meter sør for garden, beint mot nord for Grøv. etter festesetelen av 24.6.1829 låg plassen under og opp i Grøvsjordet, og skulle elles ha til forland Rødningen ovafor Grrøvsjordet, vesle Myrslætet oppi li'n og nørdre Stakkstømyridn, to stakksøer i Helevøndale under Langolshøvdo, stølsrettar, rett til 8 hestelass med rå bjørkeved i skogen og raskved av vier o.a. Husmannen skulle svare 4 spd og slå m.a. løoenga Tobakkslætet og skjere eit mål korn når bonden kravde det. Lenge fødde dei ikring 2 kyr, men i 1875 var det 1 hest, 6 kyr, 3 ungdyr, 7 sauer og lam og 1 gris på Bakka. Men vel halvparten av dette fall på Jon Endresen ( sønnen til Endre, HB's anm), som kjøpte Haugo av Ellingbø og dreiv Haugo frå Bakka, slik at han hadde heile buskapen her på Bakka.

• Baptism: 28 Jul 1861, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway
• Confirmation: 18 Jun 1876, Vestre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

He is the “Andrew Ellestad” who Rose refers to in her interview with Evey in the early 1970s. Andrew went to South Dakota with Erick Thompson and Tom Thompson in the mid 1880s. Later Andrew went to Clarissa and was probably the reason that Erick Thompson and family moved to Clarissa.

Rose maintained that her uncle Tom Thompson and Tom’s wife Rangdi Ellestad (Andrew Ellestad’s sister) were 2nd cousins. _That_ implies that either Anne Endrisdatter Baggethun or Ole Vilhelmsen Ellestad were first cousins of Andrew Thompson or Rangdi Kvale. None of that is true.

He is the 69 year-old Endrew Ellestad, husband of Sigrid, father of Evelyn and Clara, living in Clarissa, Todd County, Minnesota, in the 1930 census. He was born in Norway and came to the U.S. in 1882. Endrew was a dairy farmer.

He is the 58 year-old E. O. Ellestad, a carpenter in the village of Clarissa in the 1920 census. He came to the U.S. in 1885.

In the 1910 census, he is a widower in Todd County. His three children are liing with him.

In the 1900 census, he is probably Andrew Ellested living in Ward Twp, Todd County, born Mar 1861 in Norway. He is the husband of Ingebor and the father of Stella, John, and Cora. He came to the U.S. in 1883.

In the 1895 state census, he is living in Eureka Twp, Dakota County. The household consists of Andrew, 33, Ingebor M., 25, Estella, 4, John O., 2, and Cora, 6 months.

The informant for his death certificate was William Duda of Clarissa. (The Dudas lived one farm away from Endre and Ole in the 1910 census. William was 14 years old.) Endre had been in the U.S. for 38 years.

Endre died of stomach cancer.

Endre Olsen was confirmed in Vestre Slidre on 18 Jun 1876. The entry in church book says he was born on 14 Mar 1861, baptized on 28 Jul and there are some other notations that I don’t understand. His farm name is Bagetun Vang Ellestad and his parents were Ole Vilhelmson and Anne Endresdatter.

Sponsors for his baptism were Randi Wilhelmsdatter Lund, Gunhild Andersdatter Ellingboe, Sigrid Jørgensdatter Ellingboe, Endre Johnson Bagethun, and John Endressen Bagethun.

The 42 year-old widower Endre Olsen Ellestad of Clarissa, Minnesota, entered the U.S. at New York aboard the S.S. Celtic on 25 April 1903 following a ten-day voyage from Liverpool. He was still a citizen of Norway. Traveling with him was his brother Ole and their nephew, 22 year-old Ole Knudsen Ellestad of Vestre Slidre.

Endre married Ingeborg Marie MOSCOWS about 1890. Ingeborg was born on 21 Aug 1870 in Minnesota; died on 23 Nov 1900; was buried in Bethel Cemetery, Browerville, Todd County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He lived next door to Endre in the censuses.

Single and living in Ward Twp, Todd County, in the 1900 census. He was born in January of 1864.

The 39 year-old single farmer Ole Olsen Ellestad, a U.S. citizen of Clarissa, Minnesota, entered the U.S. at New York aboard the S.S. Celtic on April 25, 1903, following a 10-day voyage from Liverpool. Traveling with him was his brother Endre and their nephew, 22 year-old Ole Knudsen Ellestad of Vestre Slidre.

Married to Guro and living in Todd County in the 1910 census. He is 44 in that census.

In the Valdris book, the 1920 history and “manual” of the Valdris samband, Ole Ellestad of Browerville is listed as a then-current member and had been a member since 1916.

In the 1920 census, he, 55, and Guro, 46, live in a rented apartment at 419 Bancroft Avenue in Fergus Falls. Ole is a carpenter for a contractor.

Guro was the informant for his death certificate. His residence when he died was Clarissa. He died from heart disease. His parents were Anders Ellestad and Anna Baggethun.

According to the Vestre Slidre church book, he was the son of Ole Vilhelmson and Anne Eivindsdatter (her last name is very hard to read). That Ole seems to have been born on the 20th of January and baptized on the 5th of May.

Died:

Her birth record in the Vang church book shows her parents as Ole Wilhelmson Veblen and Anne Endrisdatter. Her baptism sponsors were Marthe Evensdatter Weblen, Anne Andersdatter Törstad, Ingrid Somebody’s datter Qvale, Knud Somebody’s son Veblen, and Thron Törstad.

Came to this country in 1884. Came to this country in 1887 according to the 1900 census.

Her 1888 marriage to Thomas A Thompson was witnessed by E.O. Ellestad (the bride’s brother) and Miss Karoline Martinson of the village of Frederick in Brown County.

In the 1900 census, she had had 8 children, 5 still living. In the 1910 census, she is shown as having had 10 children, 7 still living.

Place of birth, date of birth, and mother’s maiden name were not included in her death certificate.

Burial record or gravestone shows 1868 as the year of birth.

The informant for her death certificate was Ingmur Thompson of Farmington. Randi’s residence was Webster. No parents’ names on her death certificate.

Evey believed that Randi and Thomas were first cousins. Rose claimed that the pair were 2nd cousins and that Rangdi was “Andrew Ellestad’s sister.” This genealogy shows they were 5th cousins so there is a disagreement here.

dwfrench1 agrees with the lineage shown here.

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.
