Anders Tollefson ELLINGBÖ

Notes:

Vang A, p. 748.

Born 34/1 Skøre, resided 43/2 Njuko.

In the 1900 Norwegian census, he and his family were living on the Søndrold (Nybygger) farm “uden jord Anders Ellingboe” in Vang. Daughter Mary was not listed with the family in the 1900 census.

In the 1910 Norwegian census, as Anders Tollefsen Ellingbø, he and his wife and Ole, Berit, and Tollef owned an Øvrebø (Njuko) farm in Vang. Anders’s occupation is shown as “Gaardbr. selveier, veivogter ved offentlig vei.” (Road maintenance man.)

Died:
resided on Njuko

Anders married Ingeborg Olsdatter QVALE on 26 Jun 1883 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Ingeborg (daughter of Ole Olsen KVÅLE and Inglev Larsdatter WANGENSTEEN) was born on 15 Jan 1861 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 18 Mar 1937 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway.

Other Events and Attributes:

• 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:
on Skaare

Died:
as Ingeleiv Ellingbø, born 7 Mar 1891

Family/Spouse: Anders Olsen BØE. Anders (son of Ola Andrisson BØE and Anne Olsdatter ØYLO) was born on 17 Jul 1888 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1953 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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:
Section C-15, Site 11053

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Minnesota Birth Certificate: 1911-09774

Notes:

Living at home with his parents and siblings in the 1930 census. He was a clerk in a grocery store.

He was a Sergeant in the U.S. Army. Presumably, he was killed in action in World War II.
