Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Farmer, Ordførar. Forlikskommisær, Brev- og dokumentskrivar

Notes:

He is I2255 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes:

Ved siden av ordførervervet, som han hadde i mange år, var han dokumentskriver og forlikskommisær. Han ble syk etter et bryllup sør i bygda, hvor han fikk for mye å drikke og døde av det. Med andre ord drakk han seg nok ihjel på dårlig hjemmebrent. Om de andre barna se merknad under kona Sigrid. Han var åttende ordføreren i Vang og den første som hadde hvervet mer enn i tre år. Han satt som ordfører til 1861, da Nils Thune overtok hvervet.

De fleste av barna dro til USA i 1868, de andre fulgte etter i 1876. De første må altså kalles de virkelige pionerer. De fleste ble farmere. Se fil USA OBW (Wangensteen-Slægten) skriver om Nils: "Vistnok med fuld Grund er det sagt at Wangensteenslægten er en åndskraftig Slægt og at enkelte af dens Medlemmer er høit begavede Mennesker Nils Wangensteen Stele må således i første Rekke nævnes blandt dem, som har raget høiest i Begavelse og Kundskaber. Han var i Årrækker Formandskabets Ordfører, Forligelseskommisær samt privat Brev- og Dokumentskriver for hver den, som trængte til hans Bistand. Han skrev et Indhold lige så godt som en Jurist og hans Håndskrift var meget vakker. Men hvad de kommunale Gjøremål angik, så afløstes han af sin Slægtning Nils Thune. Det var ingen annen Råd. Endeligt kom det sidste og skjæbnesvangre Tillfælde. Det var et Bryllup syd i Bygden og mer end nok af sterke Drikke. Så skrantet Nils Steile og var sykelig en kort Tid, indtil Døden gjorde en Ende på den før såvel legemlig som åndelig kjæmpesterke Mand. 54 År gammel"

Dette tyder på at han var alkoholiker?OBW hentyder ofte at lensmennene reiste vidt omkring og hvor de kom fikk de en "sjenk", derfor ble de ofte litt for glade i "det sterke".

Frøholm skriver:"Han var på Berge ikring 1840, men overtok garden her i 1842. Han ble sjuk etter et bryllaup sør i bygda, der det var mykje sterk drykk."(Dette kan også tyde på at han fikk i seg dårlig hjemmebrent og døde av det!)

Sigrid og Nils hadde også disse barna: Maren død lietn Maren (1842- ) gm Ole I Flaten (1842- ) de giftet seg i 1865 og dro til USA. Der ble han bokholder.

He is Lars Jonsen Wangensteen, I53872, in Jim’s VS. His liaison with Berit Kvåle is not shown.

Jim’s notes:

OBW (Wangensteen-Slægten) skriver om ham: "Som Ældste Søn var han odelsberettiget til Kvam. Hvad Evner m.v angår så var han absolut den mest begavede inden Wangensteen-Slægten i Vang. Den Gløgge Mand og Menneskekjender Knut Nystuen - populært kaldt "Basen" - kunde således ved en Anledning give Lars W følgende korte, men Indholdsrige Skudsmål: "Detta va ein væl utrusta Ungdom". Alligevel var Skjæbnen den at alle Muligheder for at finde frem til noget varigt godt ikke lå i Lar s W Vei - en Gåde, som det synes at være fra først til sidst. Gjenemglødet som han var af Ungdomsfriskhed og Lærelyst blev han i ung Alder optaget som Elev ved Lærerskolen i Land og tog Eksamen med bedste Karakter. Dog så at der blev gjort den Tilføielse, at han var noget ustadig. Færdig med Skolen blev han beskjæftiget på Kotoret hos faderen og senere ansat hos Lensmand Bratli på Toten samt endvidere på Sagførerkontor i Kristiania. Alt syntes å gå godt idet han fik rig Anledning til å udfolde sin dygtighed og fyldestgjør e for de Forventninger, som stilledes til en så kundsabsrig og begaved Mand, som han var. Men så blev det desværre ikke længe før hans Glansperiode var forbi. Lensmandsbestillingen i Vang, som uafbrudt havde været i Hændene til Wangensteen i 60 År, blev efter John Ws Død og hans Søn Lars Konstitution i Stillingen ov erladt til den hæderlige, troværdige og hjertegode Mand P Ellingsen. Vang fik da mange "Fredens År", idet Folk fik stelle med sine offentlige Gjøremål uden nogensomhelst Påtryk fra den eller den Kant, Dette var bare "et Stille før Stormen". For ef terhånden kom "Traditionerne" igjen og der blev et politisk Sjau i Bygden, som det neppe har været Magen til. Efterhånden ble Lars W styren og lei. - det sagdes på Grund af han ble negtet Ægdeskap af familien. Dette får stå for egen Regning. So m en Eiendommelighed ved Lars var hans stærke Interesse for religiøse Emner. .. Skridtvis gik det nedeover med Forstanden og han måtte tilslut anbringes på Amtets Sindsygeasyl, hvor Døden gjorde en Ende på alle hans Lidelser og Savn."

Notes:

This illegitimate daughter of Berit Olsdatter Kvale (b. 1851) and Lars Johnson Wangensteen (b. 1848) was the first demonstrable leirmal for each parent. Ove Olsen Kvale was the responsible member of the Vang congregation who stood for the illegitimate Berit.

From the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on August 26, 1898: three unmarried individuals who were born in Vang i Valdres but were returning to their home in Minneapolis after a visit departed on the Stjernelinjen line. The three were: Britha Larsen Kvale, 26, b. 1872 (#11616), occupation syerske (seamstress), Rangdi Tollefsen Ellingbø, 28, b. 1870, occupation syerske, and Jørgen Tollefsen Ellingbø, 31, b. 1867, occupation juveler.

Rangdi and Berith arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Majestic on September 8, 1898, after departing Liverpool on August 31st. Rangdi is shown as a U.S. citizen, Berith is a citizen of Norway.

She is probably the Bertha Kvale of Minneapolis, listed in the Valdris Book, who was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1910.

According to MOMS, Bertha L Kvale married “Christ A Joe” in Hennepin County, Minnesota, on 1 Jan 1913. The Minnesota Marriages database on FamilySearch clarifies the husband’s name for this marriage as Christ A Loe. Bride and groom were both “of Hennepin County.” The ELCA record of the marriage shows Inga Ellingbo of Minneapolis as one of the witnesses. We don’t know who that Inga was.

The hospital was the informant for the information on her death certificate. At the time of her death, she lived at 2622 3rd Avenue S. She had been in Minneapolis for 40 years. She died from an acute small bowel obstruction due to post-operatory adhesions. She had an operation, and “exploratory laporatomy,” on June 21st. She had entered the hospital with peritonitis and bronchopneumonia.

His obit in the Northfield News, as cited by Dalby:

Thomas A. Grove, a well known resident of Northfield, died at noon Friday, July 19, after a long illness. Mr. Grove had been in poor health ever since the death of his oldest son, Walter Andrew, three years ago, when he had an attack of scarlet fever. Last February he was taken seriously ill, but recovered sufficiently to return to work again for a few weeks. In May, however, his illness took a turn for the worse, ending in his death last Friday. The funeral exercises were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 at the home at 706 Union street and at 3 oclock at the Congregational church chapel, Rev. E. B. Dean officiated. Miss Edna Mabon and Tom Mabon sang two songs, “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” and “Sometime Well Understand,” the same songs that were sung at the funeral of his son three years ago. The interment was made at Oaklawn cemetery, where the burial services were conducted by the Workman lodge, of which the deceased was a member. The profusion of flowers and the large crowd at the funeral testified to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The pallbearers at the funeral were L. R. Williamson, D. D. Springsted, C. A. Schleif, Jos. Drake, Ben Odegaard, and Knute Johnson. Visitors from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wohlers of Faribault, and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hensworth, Nels Kvale, Fred Loe, Ingebret Kvale, Miss Ingelev Kvale, and Miss Holden, all of Minneapolis. Mr. Grove was born in Vang, Valders, Norway, on Sept. 5, 1873, and came to America with his parents in 1876. The family settled in Goodhue county and later removed to this vicinity, where they made their home on a farm on the Brush Prairie road. On Aug. 24, 1901, Mr. Grove was married to Miss Florabelle Chamberlain of Northfield, and the couple went to live on the present Spring Brook farm, where they remained two years. Then they moved to Northfield and with the exception of a year spent in Wichita, Kans., they made this their home since. Mr. Grove was employed as a clerk in grocery stores and was known as one of the best and most efficient clerks in the trade. Most recently he was employed at the L. R. Williamson store. Mr. Grove is survived by his wife and three children, Lyle John, Edgar Thomas and Byer Andrew. He leaves also his aged father, Andrew A. Grove, Sr., of this city, two brothers, Ole Grove of Northfield and Andrew A. Grove of Milbank, S. D., and three sisters, Misses Emma and Minnie Grove and Mrs. R. A. Whitson of Northfield.

Notes:

Called Emily in the 1880 census, Emma in the 1900 census.

Find A Grave calls her Emma Grove Hemsworth, 14 Jun 1858 to 1 Jan 1955, wife of John Hemsworth 1863-1948. Her brother Thomas’s obit refers to a Mrs. J. E. Hemsworth so that name is probably correct, even if the date is not.

Ingeleiv married John E HEMSWORTH on 20 Jan 1931 in Rice County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Called Mary in the 1880 census.

The 1900 census shows her as 21 years old, born in September of 1878. She is in the 1880 census as one year-old Mary. It’s hard to understand why the obvious error of the 1881 birth date is repeated so many times in the records, including her gravestone and her obit.

In the 1930 census, she is Minnie Grove, age 39, living in a rooming house in Fargo, North Dakota. She is a corset clerk in a department store.

Minnie’s obit in the Faribault Daily News, cited by Dalby:

Funeral services for Miss Minnie Grove, 73, who passed away at the Northfield Hospital Tuesday evening, Dec. 28, after a short illness, were held this afternoon at the Anderson Funeral Chapel. The Rev. Ivar Ramseth officiated at 1:30 p.m. Burial was made in the family lot in the Northfield Cemetery. Pallbearers were John Elling, Roland Hoover, John Ellingboe, Clarence Kolstad, Algot Pearson and Forest Drake. Miss Minnie Grove was born in Northfield on Sept. 6, 1881. She made her home in Northfield where she attended the local schools and was employed for several years as saleslady in the Alex Marshall Company. In 1924 she left to make her home in Fargo, N. D., where she remained until 1938. Since that time she has resided in Northfield and Minneapolis making her home with her sister, Mrs. Emma Hemsworth. For the past several years they have spent the winters in an apartment in the Elling house and their summers in Mrs. Hemsworth's home in Minneapolis. Besides her sister, Miss Grove, is survived by several nieces and nephews including Mrs. Chris Christensen of Northfield.

Grove, who was accidentally killed July 29 at Seattle, Wash. was received in Northfield Wednesday morning. A letter accompany the remains stated that death resulted from a fall under a loaded wagon which he was driving. The wagon passed over his head and chest, injuring them so badly that death came in a very short time. Funeral services were held Wednesday evening at 5 oclock. Prof. O. Lee conducted the service. John Eltun sang which added to the impressive service. The presence of many friends and the numerous offerings evidenced the high regard with which the deceased was held in Northfield. People from out of the city who attended the last sad rites were: Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Grove, Jr., of Milbank, S. D. ; Mr. and Mrs. Sever Loe, Miss Kvale, Miss Louise Fendrom, Miss Mary Ellingboe, and Walter Chamberlain of Minneapolis.

Notes:

In the 1910 census, she lived at home in Minneapolis with her parents and brother. She was a dressmaker.

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1972-MN-033787
• Baptism: 30 Jul 1883, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Baptismal sponsors were Tollef Olson Ellingbö, his wife Marit Jögersdatter, Emilie Erickson Thune, Kristoffer Tollefson Ellingbö, and Anne Olsdatter Kvale.

In the 1900 U. S. census, Rangdi (b. June 1872) and Jorger Ellingbo (b. July 1867), brother and sister, are living with their newly-arrived niece, Mary Ellingboe (b. June 1883), at 1425 Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. Rangdi is a seamstress, Jorger is a jeweler, and Mary has no occupation. Jorger originally came to the U. S. in 1885 and Rangdi in 1890. That niece Mary may have been caught in the 1900 census at the location of her employer where a 16 year-old Mary Ellingbo (but one supposedly born in May of 1884), recently arrived in the U.S. (1900), is a servant at the home of the Cargill family (the Cargills) on 33rd and Portland. (Could not find a Marit born to Ellingboes in Vang in 1884.)

The Vang church book emigration record shows a Marit Andersdatter Ellingbø, b. 1883, emigrating to the U. S. in 1900, perhaps leaving Vang on March 21st. Ole Iversen Ellingboe (#9188) left Vang at about the same time, perhaps leaving Vang on March 23rd.

Also from the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on March 23, 1900, Marit Andersdtr Ellingbø, 17, b. 1883, born and living in Vang, unmarried, departed on the Allan line. Her occupation is shown as “datter af Veivgter.” Marit departed from Liverpool on the S.S. Tunisian on April 5, 1900, and arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on April 14, 1900. She is shown as Marit A. Ellingboe, single female, age 16, occupation “servant.” Her last residence was Valders and her final destination is Minneapolis. She paid for her own passage and had $5. She was going to join her cousin Rangde Ellingbö. Marit appears to have been traveling with 16 year-old Ragnhild Lunde, also from Valders (but not, apparently, from Vang) and also heading to Minneapolis to find work as a domestic.

In the 1901 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marit A Ellingbo, a seamstress, living with Jøger T Ellingbo at 1425 East Franklin.

She was one of the witnesses to her uncle Jøger’s 1903 marriage to Olena.

In the 1903 Minneapolis city directory, she is Marie Ellingbo, tailor at A J Kidd, boarding with Rangdi at 2121 13th Avenue S.

In the 1907 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Mary Ellingbo, seamstress, rooming at 2417 Butler Place.

In the 1909 Minneapolis city directory she is Marie Ellingbo, a seamstress who boards at 2417 Butler Place. There was a Conrad Hanson living on Butler Place at the same time.

In the 1910 Minneapolis city directory, she is still Marie Ellingbo, still a seamstress, still boarding at 2417 Butler Place.

Because Bertha is listed as “sister-in-law” in the 1920 census, we can deduce that Mary became the wife of Conrad Hanson and was living at 4420 43rd Avenue South in Minneapolis at that time.

Shown as Mary I. in her death certificate. Her father was shown as Ole Ellingboe and her mother as Ingeborg Qvale. The informant for her death certificate was her son Burton Hanson of 6421 Oliver in Minneapolis. (Burton was mistaken: Marit’s father was, indeed, Anders Tollefson.) Mary died of asthma and heart disease. Her usual residence at the time of death was 2246 East 56th Street in Minneapolis which may be the address of the “St. Olaf Residence.”

Died:
St. Olaf Residence

Marit married Conrad Mandius HANSON on 14 Sep 1910 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Conrad (son of Hans Andreas HALSEIDE and Anna Serine Pedersdatter) was born on 6 Feb 1883 in Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway; died on 27 Apr 1971 in Edina, Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 30 Apr 1971 in Sunset Memorial Park, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 7 Nov 1886, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

In the 1910 Norwegian census, he is living with his parents and siblings on the Njuko farm. That census shows his date of birth as (incorrectly) October 9, 1885.

Jim’s Valdres Slekt has Ola Andrissen Njuko Ellingbø remaining in Norway. As does the bygdebok.

He may be the 23 year-old Ola R. Ellingboe lodging at about 7th Avenue and 10th Street in Minneapolis in the 1910 census. He is a packer in a furniture factory or store and came to the U.S. in 1909.

Died:
Find A Grave says 8 Aug

Ole married Anna Sofie Andreasdatter NATVIK in 1925. Anna was born on 18 Jan 1905 in Årdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway; died on 19 Jul 1977 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; was buried in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 5 May 1891, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is not listed in Norway in the 1910 Norwegian census. The bygdebok says she went to Minnesota in 1908.

She is probably the Inga Ellingboe, age 19, servant, living in Richfield, Minnesota, in the 1910 census. She is living with the brothers Nels and Conrad Hanson on their dairy farm at about 54th Street and 28th Avenue. Also living on the farm is Arnold Heen, 23. All are from Norway and all appear to have come to the U.S. after 1900.

Jim’s site, in Valdres Slekt, says that she went to the U.S. before she had children and notes that the bygdebok doesn’t say anything about her coming back. Whatever, she is buried in the Vang church cemetery in Norway with her husband.

She had a daughter Ingeborg (b. ca 1935) with Anders Boe (b. 1878). The bygdebok has this Anders (son of Ola Andrisson Bøe 1854-1948 and Anne Olsdatter Øylo 1856-1938) as born in 1888, dying in 1953, and unmarried.

Birth:

Notes:

As Berit Andersdatter Ellingbø, she is living with her parents and siblings in the 1910 Norwegian census.

She arrived in New York on April 3, 1915, aboard the S.S. Kristianiafjord which had departed Bergen on March 25th. Berit was single, age 20, occupation domestic. She gave her father Anders T. Ellingbö of Vang, Valders, as her nearest relative in the country she had come from. She was traveling with her cousin Marit (10705).

In the 1916 Minneapolis city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingboe, seamstress, boarding at 4341 Nokomis Avenue.

She may be the Bertha Elingbow, a helper/laundress at Sheltering Arms, in the 1917 and 1918 Minneapolis city directories. There are no other Bertha Ellingboe variants in those two city directories.

In the 1918 Alien Registration, she was Bertha Ellingbo, age 23, of Minneapolis.

In the 1919 city directory, she is probably the Bertha Ellingbo who is a machine operator for Brown Brothers Mercantile Co. She boarded at 3500 16th Avenue S.

She is the Bertha Ellingbo, “sister-in-law”, living with the Mary and Conrad Hanson family in Minneapolis in the 1920 census. (Also see 6236.) She is a tailoress and came to the U.S. in 1915.

She died as Bertha E. Hanson, wife of Henry A. The informant for her death certificate was Burton Hanson. Her parents were Anders Ellingboe and Ingeborg Qvale. This is a different father than the Ole Ellingboe who Burton Hanson said was his mother’s father. Bertha was a seamstress engaged in the tailoring business. She died from a stroke. Her usual residence was 3414 Minnehaha Avenue.

Jim’s site’s Valdres Slekt does not include Berit in the children of Anders and Ingeborg. Nor does the bygdebok.

Buried:

Berit married Henry A HANSON on 3 Apr 1920 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Henry (son of Hans Andreas HALSEIDE and Anna Serine Pedersdatter) was born on 14 Jul 1891 in Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway; died on 1 Sep 1953 in Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 3 Sep 1953 in Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 3 Mar 1898, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

He is listed with his parents and siblings in the 1910 Norwegian census.

The bygdebok says he never married. He was a teacher in Hommelvik, Malvik.

Find A Grave incorrectly has his birth year as 1838. It also says, incorrectly, that he was married to “Synnave Ellingbøe.”

The confusion is because his gravestone is shared with Synnave Ellingbøe (#I31402). She is his niece, the daughter of Ola Ellingbøe and Anne Ellingbøe of Njüko.
