Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Gaardbruger Selveier

Notes:

Not living with his parents at the time of the 1865 census. Shown as Halvor Arnesen, Gaardbruger, born 1832 in Vang, living with his wife, Sigrid Jørgensdatter (born 1838 in Gols Prgj. i Hallingdal), and daughter, Tora Halvorsdatter (born 1864 in Vang), on the Helle øvre farm in Vang i Oppland.

In the 1886 land register, he is probably the Halvor Arnesen who owns a portion (106-4, old 96-179 and 96-182) of Helle øvre in Hurum.

The family is still on the Helle øvre (gaard) farm, farm unit 4a, in the 1900 Norwegian census. The household consists of Halvard and Sigrid and their daughter Berit and son Arne.

Hallvard married Sigrid Jørgensdatter BAKKE in 1863. Sigrid was born in 1838 in Gol, Hallingdal, Buskerud, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Gaardbruger Selveier (1900 Census)

Notes:

Supposedly changed name to Spelleman, became famous for playing the violin, and toured the USA. This is not true; perhaps he is confused with another Anders.

In the 1900 Norwegian census, this Anders is the main farmer on Helle øvre (gaard), farm unit number 4b, in Vang, Valdres. He is married. The other two residents of that farm are Anders’s younger brothers, Knut and Ole, both still single. Knut is a snedker, Ole is a skomager.

The bygdebøk says that Anders lived in Lykkjun, farm 106/4 of Ø. Helle. Specifically, “ein mindre part, med tun ovafor gardstunet.”

Anders married Margit Eivindsdatter TØRSTAD in 1891. Margit was born about 1844 in Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Ola Olsen BEITO. Ola was born about 1841. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 14 Mar 1841, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Not listed as living with her parents at the time of the 1865 census. A Marith Arnesdatter, born 1843 in Vang, is shown as unmarried, Tjenestepige, and living with the family of Thosten Nielssen and Guri Endresdatter on the Løkken farm in Vang i Oppland.

To Quebec, via Bergen, aboard the Valkyrien in 1869. She arrived in Quebec in June.

The estimable dwfrench1 doesn’t know what happened to her either.

Notes:

In the 1900 Norwegian census he is single, a snedker, living on the Helle øvre (gaard) farm run or owned by his brother Anders. There is some suggestion (“Fælles husholdning ned Ole Arnesen.”) that Knut and his brother Ole maintain a separate household on that farm.

Carpenter. Never married.

Other Events and Attributes:

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1926-MN-013021
• Baptism: 27 Sep 1846, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway
• Confirmation: 23 Jun 1861, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She is the younger of two sisters named Berit. She appears to be the only sibling who came to the U.S. or had children come to the U.S.

At the time of the 1865 Norwegian census she was Berith Arnesdatter, born 1847 in Vang, living with the household of Torger Ejvindsen and Sigrid Torstensdatter (born 1822 and 1825, respectively, in Øystre Slidre Prgj.) on the farm of Holien in Vang. Berith is shown as unmarried, “hans Søsterdatter”, and “bestyrer hans Husholdning.” Listed just before Berith, and the reference of “his”, is Ole Andersen, born 1787 in Vang, “deres Føderaadsmand.” (That Ole is I8411.)

In the 1900 census, Betsy and family are living in New Market Township. The family consists of Betsy, 50 (born August 1849), Ole, 24 (born Sep 1875), Tillie, 21 (born June 1878), Oscar, 16 (born June 1883), Albert, 15 (born 1885), Olga, 12 (born Sep 1887), and Clara, 5 (born January 1895). For some reason, Anna Maria is not listed with the family and does not appear to have been included anywhere else in the census. Olga and Clara were born in Minnesota. Betsy is shown as having had 10 children, 8 still living. The family emigrated in 1887. Betsy owns the farm but it is still mortgaged.

In the 1905 state census, Betsy Ellingbo lives in Scott County with her children Ole, Anna, Albert, and Clara. (Olga seems to have been missed.)

In the 1910 census (May 10th), Betsy is 60 and four of her children are living with her: Anna, 29, Albert, 25, Olga, 22, and Clara, 15. Olga’s occupation is clearly shown as servant; Albert’s as a traveling something in the creamery industry.

Two doors down from Betsy is her son Ole and his new wife Rosie.

Evey says: “My father’s parents were buried ... in an area outlined in cement. A spire-like gravestone was in the middle of the area with Grandpa’s name on it and with ‘born’ and ‘died’ written in Norwegian with the dates. Grandma Ellingboe was also buried there.”

In the 1918 Alien Registration, she was Betsy Ellingboe, age 69, of Lakeville, Scott County.

Shown as “Betsy” in the 1920 census. In that enumeration, she is shown as the head of household, owning her property free of any mortgage, and Albert, Clara, and Olga are shown as living with her. Also in that enumeration, Berit is shown as being unable to read or to write. The census enumerator apparently had some trouble determining whether or not Berit was able to speak English; he finally concluded that she was.

Her death certificate, for which her daughter Thea was the informant, gives Berit’s birth year as 1847. She lived at 306 Washington in Northfield where she had lived since the summer of 1924. She died of cardiorenal disease.

Her obit was in the Northfield News, April 2, 1926 edition:

Mrs. Betsy Ellingboe died at the home of her daughter, Mrs Alvin Liggett, Friday, March 26, 1926, at 12:15 following a lingering illness of several months. The funeral was held at the Liggett home at 12 o'clock Tuesday and at the Christiania Lutheran Church in the afternoon. Rev O. E. Skavlan officiated. Burial was in the church cemetery. Mrs. Betsy Ellingboe was born in Valders, Norway on August 26, 1843. She was married to Ova Ellingboe in Norway and more than forty-five years ago immigrated to the United States. They made their home in Wisconsin for a short time and later came to Lakeville where they made their home until Mr. Ellingboe's death, 37 years ago. Mrs. Ellingboe made her home with her children, having lived in the Liggett home for a year. Mrs. Ellingboe is survived by eight children, Mrs. Mary Lee, Omak, Washington; Ole Ellingboe, Mrs George Tonsager and Albert Ellingboe, all of Lakeville; Oscar Ellingboe of Leavenworth, Kansas; Mrs John Selmo, Solway, Minnesota; Miss Olga Ellingboe and Mrs. Albert Liggett of Northfield. 08-26-1843/03-26-1926

She is probably the “Betsy, widow of Ole Ellingboe” living at 312 Washington in the 1926 Northfield city directory. Evey believes that Berit, and probably Olga and Clara, moved to Northfield after Albert and Annie were married and took over the Ellingboe farm in New Market.

She doesn’t seem to have an individual gravestone at the cemetery plot in the West Christiania Cemetery.

HIGHVIEW CHRISTIANIA LUTH. CHURCH & CEMETERY, EUREKA TWSP. DAKOTA COUNTY, MN. COMPILED BY JANE GILBERTSON NELSON:

Mrs Betsy Ellingboe died at the home of her daughter, Mrs Alvin Liggett, Friday, March 26, 1926 at 12:15 following a lingering illness of several months. The funeral was held at the Liggett home at 12 o'clock Tuesday and at the Christiania Lutheran Church in the afternoon. Rev O. E. Skavlan officiated. Burial was in the church cemetery.

Berit married Ove Ovesen ELLINGBOE on 1 Jun 1874 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Ove (son of Unknown and Marit Olsdatter ELLINGBØE KVAM) was born on 24 Mar 1840 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; was christened on 17 Apr 1840 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 6 Feb 1899 in New Market Twp, Scott County, Minnesota; was buried on 9 Feb 1899 in West Christiania Lutheran Cemetery, New Market Twp, Scott County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the 1900 Norwegian census he is single, a skomager, living on the Helle øvre (gaard) farm run or owned by his brother Anders. There is some suggestion (“Fælles husholdning ned Knut Arnesen.”) that Ole and his brother Knut maintain a separate household on that farm. The farm has a “haandverkshus”, perhaps a separate building in which Ole may have had his shoemaker business.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1932-MN-015056
• Baptism: 20 Jan 1853, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

If she is from Vang, she may be Anne, born 25 Nov 1852 (baptized 20 Jan 1853) to Anders Evensen Lykken and Randi Endresdatter. That would be consistent with th 1865 census, in which an Anne Andersdatter, b. 1852, is shown as a daughter of Gunder Helgessen and Rangdi Endresdatter on Rogn in Vang. Although Anne is shown as “deres datter”, it should be “hendes datter” if, as we may presume, Gunder married the widow Rangdi. This is confirmed in Vang B, p. 507. Also see Vang C, p. 68.

dwfrench1 calls her Anne Quale, b. ca 1852, parents unknown.

Anne married Anders Asbjørnsen QUALE on 2 May 1894 in Swift County, Minnesota. Anders (son of Asbjørn Asbjørnsen HAMRE and Maren Andersdatter QVÅLE) was born on 24 Dec 1843 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 21 Oct 1915 in Swift County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Two children died, according to Ed, in addition to the seven shown. (This is incorrect: two of Marit’s children did die relatively young, both by drowning, but there were only 7 children in total.) In the 1910 census, Mary claimed to have had 7 children, all still living.

According to Ed, Marit and Elling lived in many parts of the country but, for the last years of their lives, lived in Omak, Washington. Jan confirms this.

On her death bed, Marit Lee thought she was again on the boat coming to America.

At the time of the 1900 census (June 27th), the Lees were living in Pembina County in North Dakota in Walhalla Village. The family consisted of Elling H., 28 (born October 1871), Mary, 24 (born June 1875), Harry O., 3 (born August 1896), and Floyd M., 1 (born July 1898). Elling and the boys were born in Minnesota. Mary emigrated in 1882 and was a naturalized citizen. She and Elling had been married for five years. She had borne 2 children, both still living. Elling was a salesman and they rented their house (which was not a farm). Mary would have been pregnant with Ella at the time of the census-taker’s visit.

Ilone says: Mary was a wonderful, loving grandmother who always kept very busy helping other people. Ilone always felt as if she were her favorite grandchild but later learned that every grandchild thought that he/she was the favorite. Her cookie jar was always full of gingersnaps. She was a very active member of the Presbyterian church.

Notes:

According to Ed, Ole lived his entire life on the Ellingboe farm.

According to Evey, Ole came “from Valdres, Norway, with his parents and three sisters in 1881 when he was six years old.”

Evey goes on to say: “When Pa and his parents and three siblings had come from Norway in 1881, they had lived in Wisconsin for about two years and then had come to this area, living for three weeks with an aunt of Pa’s father [Sigrid] until another baby was born [Oskar], and then in a sod house. (Ma told me that the aunt had written to Pa’s family saying, ‘Why don’t you move here, because from our place you can see the spires of three churches.’ Just what the meaning of that was, I’m not sure.) A year after the move, my grandfather, Ove, built the house. Albert was born there and lived there all his life.”

At the time of the 1910 census (May 10th), Ole and Rosie were living in New Market, near, or perhaps on, the same farm as Ole’s mother, Betsy. Ole, 34, and Rose, 21, are shown as having been married only 3 months. Rose would have pregnant with Ed at the time of the census.

Ole registered for the draft on September 12, 1918. He is described as of medium height and build with blue eyes and brown hair. His nearest relative is “Rosa” Ellingboe.

In the 1918 Alien Registration, he is Ole Ellingboe, age 42, of Lakeville, Scott County.

The Census taker visited the Ellingboe farm on January 30, 1920, and noted 44 year-old Ole, 30 year-old Rose, 9 year-old Edwin, 7 year-old Arthur, 4 year-old Beulah, and 2 year-old Oscar. Rose and Ole were noted as having Norwegian as their native tongue and being able to speak English. Ole’s occupation was noted as “Farmer General Farm.”

Shown as having emigrated in 1882 in the 1930 census.

In the 1940 census, Ole and his family lived in New Market Twp. The household consisted of Ole, 64, Rosie, 50, Edwin, 29, Oscar, 22, Helen, 19, Ruby, 15, Evelyn, 12, Jeanette, 4, and Albert Battin, 79, a lodger who was retired and blind. Ole and Rosie had education through 8th grade, Edwin through four years of high school, Oscar through 8th grade, Helen through one year of high school.

Ole and Rose were naturalized as citizens on November 10, 1937, in Minneapolis in U.S. District Court, 4th Division. At that time, his address was Route #2, Lakeville. Ole is described as 5’8” tall, 160 lbs., blue eyes, brown hair.

According to Evey, Ole died of an apparent stroke.

His obituary (from an unknown newspaper, spelling errors corrected):

Obituary of Ole Ellingboe

Ole Ellingboe of Lakeville, age 72, died at the Sanford hospital at Farmington, Jan. 5, 1948, at 9:30 a.m. after an illness of only five days.

He was born at Valdres, Norway, Sept. 25, 1875, of parents Ove Ellingboe and Beret (Helle) Ellingboe. At the age of six years he emigrated with his parents and three sisters to America. They came to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where they resided one year. Then they came to Lakeville and settled on a farm in New Market township, Scott county, Minn. He attended the District 66 school, which was built by his father. This is the same school attended by his children. His father died at an early age leaving him to be his mother’s main stay to help support his younger brothers and sisters. He was confirmed by the Rev. Quammen and has been a faithful member of the Christiania Lutheran congregation ever since.

On February 12, 1910, he was united in holy matrimony to Miss Rose Mathilda Thompson at Bethel Lutheran church, Ward township, Todd county, Minn. They went to live on his farm, which was a part of the old homestead, and have made their home there ever since. To this union eight children were born, namely Edwin and Helen (Mrs. Clarence Campion) of Minneapolis, Arthur and Ruby (Mrs. Frank Pool) of Farmington, Beulah (Mrs. Lloyd Luckman) of Rosemount, and Oscar, Evelyn, and Jeanette at home.

He leaves to mourn his departure his wife and eight children, two brothers, Oscar of Leavenworth, Kansas, and Albert of Lakeville, who was critically ill at the hospital; five sisters, Mary (Mrs. E. H. Lee) of Omak, Washington, Thea (Mrs. George Tonsager) of Lakeville, Anna (Mrs. John Selmo) of Solway, Minn., Clara (Mrs. Alvin Liggett) and Miss Olga Ellingboe of Waseca, besides seven grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother and also a sister and brother who died in infancy.

Funeral services were held Thursday, Jan. 8, at one o’clock at his home, followed by services at West Christiania Lutheran church with burial in the adjoining cemetery, Rev. Hoff officiating.

Rev. Hanson from Webster also spoke. The Webster Male Chorus sang three beautiful songs accompanied by Mrs. Walter Snesrud {#14775}. Pallbearers were Ole Ellingboe’s three sons, Oscar, Edwin, and Arthur and his three sons-in-law, Lloyd Luckman, Clarence Campion, and Frank Pool.

Many beautiful sprays of flowers were received. One of these were from the V.F.W. Post 210, and one from the 109th Fighter Squadron. Innumerable memorial gifts were received which was evidence of his many friends.

He was a kind and loving husband and father and will be sadly missed. Blessed be his memory.

Ed says that Thea and George had nine children.

Buried in the same plot as George and Thea are three of their great-grandchildren, called the “Tonsager Triplets”, who died June 17, 1969.

Ed says that the Tonsagers' farm was about four miles southeast of the Ellingboe farm. Evey said it was about “three miles from us.”

Evey recalls, about Thea: “She was a very warm and motherly person.”

Emigrated in 1882

In the 1905 state census, George and Thea lived a little ways away (on the same census page) from the Ellingboes in New Market Twp.

At the time of the 1910 census (April 15th), the family was renting a farm in New Market township. The family consisted of George, 31, Thea, 31, Clarence M., 4, Palmer O., 2, and Lester G., 8 months. The couple had been married for 5 years and Thea had had 3 children, 3 still living.

Her husband was the informant for her death certificate. George didn’t know who Thea’s parents were. Thea died from a cerebral hemorrhage that had occurred 10 days previously.

In the 1940 census, George and Thea, their three youngest sons, and their grandson Robert lived in New Market in the same house all of them had lived in five years before.

Notes:

Oskar Ellingboe changed his name to Arthur Carney and invented a preposterous backstory in which he also changed his birth date and family history.

Ed says Oskar spent his youth in Lakeville, went into the service, and later became a Federal Prison guard at the penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. He lived in Leavenworth until he died.

Not listed with his mother and siblings in New Market Twp in the 1905 state census.

The 1910 census contains no Arthur Carney born in Kentucky within 5 years of 1887.

He was not listed in the WWI draft registrations, either as Ellingboe or as Carney.

In the 1920 census, a 33 year-old Arthur W. Carney is shown as a soldier at Fort Leavenworth. His native state is shown as Kentucky and both of his parent had been born in Kentucky. Thus, he was claiming to have been born in Kentucky several years before he married Marie.

In the 1925 Kansas census, he and Marie are living with other Hamiltons in Leavenworth. Arthur claims to be 38 years old, born in Kentucky, and working for or on the “golf links” at Ft. Leavenworth.

This same Arthur Carney, claiming to be a native of Kentucky, was living in Ohio at the time of the 1930 census. This Ohio Arthur Carney was a prison guard at the prison (U.S. Industrial Reformatory) in Scioto, Ross County, Ohio. He was married, 43, with a wife Marie, 37. This Arthur Carney was a veteran of the World War.

In the 1940 census, he was the 53 year-old Arthur W. Carney living with his wife Marie, 47, in Leavenworth, Kansas. He was a prison officer for the federal prison. Arthur claimed to have had two years of college. Marie had an eighth-grade education. The couple owned their house, worth $4000, at 712 Ninth Avenue (or 712 Central Avenue). They had lived in Leavenworth five years earlier although not at that address. The census-taker talked to both Arthur and Marie. Arthur specifically claimed that he was born in Kentucky. Thus, likely in Marie’s presence, he claimed to have been born in Kentucky, a claim Marie would have known to be false because she had met his family in Minnesota.

A note in the Leavenworth Times in August of 1952 said that Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Carney had returned home after several weeks visit with relatives in Minnesota.

According to city directories, he and Marie lived at 712 9th Avenue in Leavenworth between 1934 and his death in 1960. The couple is shown as briefly living in Alburquerque, New Mexico, in 1955, at which time he was associated with the U.S. Air Force.

A database of obituaries in the Leavenworth Times newspaper shows the death of an Arthur W. Carney in the November 20, 1960, edition.

According to his entry in Find A Grave, which includes a photo of his gravestone, he was Arthur Wilbur Carney, b. 15 Jun 1886 and died 18 Nov 1960. According to the inscription on that gravestone, apparently one supplied by the government, Arthur had been a sergeant in Company B, 88th Infantry of Kansas in World War I.

In the document requesting a military headstone for Arthur, signed by Marie H. Carney on 8 Jun 1961, of 712 Ninth Avenue, Leavenworth, the particulars of his military history are listed: Service number 341371 or 341271, Pension claim number C 122 18 08, Enlisted 10-12-1916 in Washington, Discharged 10-11-1920 at Ft. Leavenworth. He had been a Sgt, Co. B, 88th Infantry, 19th Division, U.S. Army. His date of birth was 15 Jun 1886. The branch of the service that most conforms to this description is the 88th Division, “a National Army Division organized September 4, 1917, at Camp Dodge, Iowa, from men drafted from the states of Minnesota, Iowa. the Dakotas and Illinois. Later when these first drafts had been transferred in large measure to Camps Cody, Bowie, Doniphan, Pike, Travis and Gordon, newly drafted men from these original states, together with men from Missouri and Nebraska, constituted the bulk of the Division.”

One of his nieces says: I've known since I was a little girl that he had changed his name. I think I heard that he took his middle name of "Carne," (most likely Arne) and used it as his last name because there were so many Ellingboes (really?). It was hinted, also, that maybe he changed his name so as not to be traced by someone--maybe a girl? There always seemed to be an air of mystery about it. He and Marie visited once when I was about 10 or so. I remember that Marie played our pump organ and Oscar sang. Ma said later, after that visit, that Marie had said that "the Carne's 'hail' from Kentucky." I don't know what Ma answered to that. She was no pushover. I think some of us thought his story was just to impress Marie with a more important background than he really had. I saw him again, briefly, at Uncle Albert's funeral. Once I asked Aunt Clara (Pa's youngest sister) about it when we visited her in Waseca. Oscar & Marie's picture was displayed on a table, which prompted the question. He was quite a distinguished-looking man, and Marie was very sweet-looking. Oscar resembled Albert a lot--a high forehead with hair that seemed to flow back in a high, bushy sort of way. Aunt Clara said that he left home at about 17 years old--(the 1900 census) and I think she said he went to Canada. Oscar claimed that he was born in Kentucky to wealthy parents who traveled a lot. On one of their trips they went to Norway, bringing him along as a baby. While there, they went out on a fishing expedition of sorts or a boat ride of some kind. Not wanting to take the baby along, they left him in the care of a Norwegian lady, Berit--Grandma supposely (??). Their boat was lost at sea, and Grandma brought him up as her own. Part of the story told of his being part of the Canadian Royal Mounted police, and of heroic acts during a small-pox epidemic. I also remember that they said he had had a family Bible, and maybe something else, too, with the proof--I forget what--in his locker at the prison, but it was lost in a fire there. Also, I recall that he hadn't wanted the story told to his mother as it would upset her. Two of the Lee "girls" told of how Oscar could quote pages and pages of epic poetry and verse, etc.”

Another niece in April of 2003 said:

I am delighted to tell you what I know. You can draw your own conclusions! It is a bit of a mystery. Incidentally, neither my Mother nor I knew Uncle Arthur had lived for awhile in Ohio, or, at least, Mother never mentioned it. Also, Mother never referred to him as "Oscar". I'd never heard that name until my cousin, Dorothy Olson, whom we have only recently come to know rather well, said that was his given name.

I think my Mother, as the 'baby" of the family, was always very special to Uncle Arthur. He and Aunt Marie visited us, if not frequently, at least every once in awhile and I have clear memories of them both; very dear memories. Aunt Marie was a very sweet person with absolutely beautiful handwriting. Uncle Arthur could recite numerous poems, epic and otherwise, from memory. I have a notebook in which he wrote down these poems for me. Family, in general, was very special to Uncle Arthur and everyone and everything related to family was always "the best".

Uncle Arthur left home, the family farm, at a young age and had a variety of adventures, including service in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (and had tales to tell of those years); in the army in the Philippines (I have some photographs of him taken there); lastly as a guard at the Federal prison in Leavenworth, Kansas, where we visited them.

He was completely convinced that the family name should be Carney, not Ellingboe, and had his name legally changed, though he never told his mother and consequently, as I understand it, his mother never met his wife. It must have been very awkward. That must have been puzzling for his mother, and a source of pain, too, I would think, as well as requiring endless evasions.

Uncle Arthur said he had documentation which proved that an Irish family named Carney, who lived in Kentucky, were in the habit of going to the Norwegian fjords to fish. On one such expedition, they took their son, their son's wife and infant son, along. They left the baby with a maiden lady while they went out fishing. The entire family was drowned and she - the Norwegian maiden lady - raised the boy as her own. Later, she came to the U.S., still claiming the little boy as her son. This little boy was my grandfather. (Only recently, I learned that my grandfather was an illegitimate child, which would lend credence to Uncle Arthur's story.) Thus, the Carney name disappeared and the name Ellingboe appeared.

Uncle Arthur always admired the Irish, and, of course, Scandinavians were looked down upon at this point in our history, as were many immigrants. However, Uncle Arthur was very proud of his family and it is almost impossible for me to reconcile this pride in family, with a repudiation of his family name unless he was certain of the truth of the story. I know Uncle Arthur believed the story though I'm almost as certain no one else did, or does. His documentation, including a family Bible, was burned in a fire in the locker room of the prison so there is no proof of his claim to Irish ancestry.

It is true that my Mother looked Irish; white skin, black hair, bright blue eyes! Who knows? I don't think Mother believed this story, but she didn't actually say she disbelieved it, either. We cannot square such a "fairy tale" though, with what we know of Uncle Arthur's character, so.......As I said, draw your own conclusions!

Or 25 September. Her birthdate on her death certificate was 24 September.

Never married. Evey says she was an invalid, frequently bedridden, whose illness was probably depression.

According to Ed, Olga spent her life at home on the farm, then in Northfield, and the last years of her life in Waseca, Minnesota. Evy explains that Olga lived with Clara and Al Leggett in Waseca. Shown as living on the farm with Berit (“Betsy”), Albert, and Clara at the time of the 1920 census.

In the 1930 census, Olga was indeed living with her sister Clara Leggett and family at 604 5th St. in Waseca.

In the 1940 census, she was living with the Liggetts in Waseca.

According to her death certificate, she had lived in Waseca for 26 years. Her address was 7th Avenue, SW. Olga died from a cerebral hemorrhage. She also had severe rheumatoid arthritis.

If Olga had lived with Clara for 26 years, she had gone to live with her shortly after their mother died. This suggests that Olga, although only about 40 years old, may not have been able to live on her own.
