Her parents later joined Vang Lutheran Church in Dennison. After marriage Ambjor and Iver lived in Warsaw Township near the Kasa farm. She became a widow at the age of 32 years, and gave birth to her 5th child eight months after Iver's death. In 1911 Ambjor sold, to her son Erik, 126 acres in sections 20 and 29 of Warsaw Township for $7,000. At the time of the 1930 census, she was living with Erik and his family. Prior to her death, she lived with her daughter Christine in Dennison. Ambjor was the last surviving child of Erika and Berit Nystuen Kasa's seven children. She and Iver had five children.

Notes:

According to obituary, he had a great physical handicap. If he did, it must have come after September 12, 1918, because no “obvious disability” is listed on his draft registration card. Jim’s site explains that Trond had both legs amputated due to diabetes.

Shown as Thrond J. Ellingboe on his death certificate.

He is still living at home with his mother and siblings in the 1895 state census.

In the 1900 census, he is a boarder with his brother Iver on the farm of Kari Lee, a 76 year-old widow (#23958) in Newburg Twp, Mitchell County, Iowa. This household includes two of Kari’s single daughters (Carrie, 41, and Julia, 39) as well as Kari’s 103 year-old (!) mother-in-law, Guri.

Referred to as “merchant” on Marie Louise’s birth certificate.

In the 1910 census, Thrond, 37, and his wife Ambjor, 39, and family are living in Dennison Village, Goodhue County, MN. This is Thrond’s 2nd marriage, her first. The two have been married 9 years and she has borne 4 children, all still living. The children living with Thrond and Ambjor are Amanda, 13, Ivar, 7, Marie, 5, Arthur, 3, and Helen, 1 and 7/12.

In a 1914 land ownership map of Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County, “T. I. Ellingboe” owned 80 acres in Section 19. The parcel was the east half of the northeast quarter-section and was just north of the village of Dennison. His neighbors to the north and west were Prestegaards.

He registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Red Wing as Thrond Ellingboe of Dennison. He was born on January 2, 1873. He is a self-employed farmer in Dennison. His nearest relative is Mrs. Thrond Ellingboe of Dennison. He is described as of medium height and build with blue eyes and light brown hair.

In the 1920 census he is a farmer living in Dennison, Goodhue County.

He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books), as “Thrond I Ellingboe Dennison Minn.” His entry shows that he was a member of the Samband between 1904 and 1906.

In the 1930 census, he is Thrond Elingboe, a farmer in Dennison. Living with him are his wife Emma and their children Iver and Arthur.

His will is listed in the Goodhue County Will Records, Volume 089 1945-1952, for the will year 1946.

He was first buried at Vang Cemetery on 20 Oct 1945. Later, he was moved to Oaklawn where he and Ambjor share a gravestone.

Notes:

Erick (“Erik”) and his family were living in Warsaw Township, Goodhue County, in the 1910 census. The family consisted of Erick, 33, his wife Johanna, 28, their daughter Ammanda, 4, their son Ivar, 2, and Erick’s mother Ambjor, 60. Johanna is shown to have had 2 children, both still living. Johanna and Erick had been married for 5 years.

He is probably the E. I. Ellingboe who is shown as owning 120 acres in Warsaw Twp, Goodhue County, in a 1914 land ownership atlas. His farm consists of two parcels: 1) an 80 acre parcel that is the eastern half of the northeast quarter of Section 29, and 2) a 40 acre parcel that is the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 20. The two parcels touch at a corner.

Registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Red Wing as Erick Ellingboe, born March 21, 1877, and living at Route #2, Dennison, Goodhue County. He is a farmer. His nearest relative is Mrs. Johanna Ellingboe of Route #2, Dennison. Erick is tall and of stout build. There is no entry for the color of his eyes or hair.

In the 1920 census, Erick (now spelled correctly) and his family are still living in Warsaw Township. The family consisted of Erick, 42, Johanna, 36, Ivar, 12, Edward, 9, and Erick 6. Living on the farm next door is a 14 year old servant girl name Gurianna Ellingbo. The handwriting is poor: that servant girl may be Amanda Ellingboe.

In the 1930 census, Erick (now spelled correctly) and his family were still living in Warsaw Township. The family consisted of Erick, 52, his wife Bertha J., 46, his mother Ambjor, 79, daughter Amanda B., 23, son Iver, 21, son Edward, 19, and son Erick J., 16. There is no entry in the column for how long Erick and Bertha had been married. Bertha J. is probably the same person as Johanna Ellingboe. Erick Jr.’s mother’s maiden name is shown, in his death certificate, as Svien.

Next door to Erick lived Ole Egland, wife Martha, and son Arthur A. who, apparently, later married Erick’s daughter Amanda.

He owned 1 share of the Nerstrand Farmers Mercantile and Elevator Company as of January of 1959.

Notes:

In the 1900 census, he is a boarder with his brother Thrond on the farm of Kari Lee, a 76 year-old widow (#23958) in Newburg Twp, Mitchell County, Iowa. This household includes two of Kari’s single daughters (Carrie, 41, and Julia, 39) as well as Kari’s 103 year-old (!) mother-in-law, Guri.

In the 1905 Pueblo, Colorado, city directory, he is Iver Ellinghoe, laborer, boarding at 1019 Northern Avenue.

In the 1909 Pueblo city directory, he is Ivar Ellingboe, an employee of the Steel Works. He resides at 2132 E Routt Avenue.

In the 1910 census, he lived at 1307 Cypress Street in Pueblo, Colorado, where he works at a steel mill. His wife is Nellie. They have been married for four years and it is the first marriage for each. Nellie has had one child, no longer living. Included in the household is Oscar Lee, 50, born in Iowa, “cousin” and a 31 year-old male, name illegible, roomer.

In the 1915 Pueblo city directory, his wife is Mary and he is a steel worker. They live at 1307 Cypress.

The 1916 directory includes a Theresa Ellingboe, clerk, also living at 1307 Cypress. She is a step-daughter of Iver’s, the daughter of Mary with John Grome.

Iver registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Pueblo County. Because the name of his employer (Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.) was stamped on the card, the company probably arranged the registration for its employees. At that time Iver and his wife Mary were living at 1027 Pine in Pueblo. He was described as tall and of slender build with brown eyes and light hair. He had lost the end of his right index finger after the second joint.

In the 1920 census, he is still working for the steel mill in Pueblo.

In the 1930 census, he is still working for the steel mill in Pueblo as a melter foreman.

In the 1931 Pueblo city directory, he is a melter for CF&I. He resides St. Charles Mesa.

In the 1940 census, he and Mary L live in Pueblo. He is a melter in a steel mill. He had been educated through the fourth grade, his wife through the fifth grade. Also part of their household was Rose Ann Southers, age 13, niece, and Peggy Ellingboe, age 7, daughter. Peggy and Rose Ann had also lived with Ivar and Mary at this house in 1935. Peggy and Rose Ann were born in Utah. The next census entry after Ivar was for his son Robert and Robert’s wife Ann E and son Robert Jr. Rose was the daughter of Van and Josephine Southers. The family was recorded in the 1930 census in Utah. Van Southers was born in Georgia and may have been a brother of Mary L. No Ellingboes were ever born in Utah so we don’t know who Peggy is. She could not have been the natural daughter of Mary L.

The 1945 Pueblo city directory shows Iver as a melter for CF&I.

His employment record at CF&I shows he worked for that company continuously between about 1902 to at least May of 1945. Along the way he lost one of his index fingers. The company employment card listed him as 5 ft 10.5 inches tall, 160.5 lbs., dark grey eyes and light brown hair.

Iver married Nellie D about 1906, and was divorced on 26 Mar 1912 in Pueblo County, Colorado. Nellie was born about 1888 in Australia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Iver married Mary Lee SOUTHERS on 10 May 1913 in Pueblo County, Colorado. Mary was born about 1884 in Georgia; died on 21 Nov 1964 in Colorado; was buried in Roselawn Cemetery, Pueblo, Pueblo County, Colorado. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
