In the 1900 census, Knudt, 24, and his brother (apparently) Ole, 22, are single men boarding with a family in Sacred Heart, Renville County, Minnesota. Knudt “Elingoe” is shown as having been born in Norway in February of 1876 and having come to the U. S. in 1896. His occupation is saloon keeper.

At this point, he is working for his uncle’s saloon in Granite Falls. He later bought out his uncle and was the sole owner until 1903 when he sold the saloon/hotel in Sacred Heart and “engaged in general merchandise. The venture was unfortunate.” He went back to Granite Falls and ran a saloon.

In the 1905 state census, Knut, Clara, and Brunelle are living on Baldwin Street in Granite Falls. Knut is a saloon keeper. They had lived in Granite Falls for a year-and-a-half.

He moved to Milaca in 1905.

The family consists of Knute I., 34, Clara A., 24, Brunelle M., 5, Harvey I or Q., 3, and Christine C., 1. Knute and Clara had been married for 7 years and these three children are the only ones Clara had had. Knute is shown as having come to the U.S. in 1880.

This was the Ellingboe Hardware Company which he managed until 1912 when he and a partner bought the Milaca State Bank. He bought out that partner in 1919.

Knute registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Princeton. His occupation is “banker” for the Milaca State Bank. His nearest relative is his wife Clara Ann. Knute is described as being of medium height and build with blue eyes and brown hair. He was a naturalized citizen.

Knute applied for his first passport in August of 1919 in Minneapolis. He intended to visit Norway to “visit aged parents.” This six-week trip is mentioned in the October 23, 1919, edition of the Princeton Union.

A Knute Ellingboe is listed in the 1920 and 1921 Minneapolis city directories at 2834 Chicago Avenue.

He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books), as Knudt Ellingboe of Milaca. He was a member of the Samband between 1905 and 1916.

In the 1920 census, Knute is shown as a bank president in Milaca. Although he is married, there is no wife listed as living with him. By that time, his wife Clara and their two children (Brunelle, 15, and Margaret, 10) are living in Minneapolis with Clara’s mother, Mary Austin.

Knute applied for a second passport on May 28, 1921, in Milaca. He was described as 45 years old, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, with blue eyes and a “regular” forehead and “regular” nose with a “straight, firm” mouth and a “square” chin. His hair was dark brown and “turning grey.” He had a ruddy complexion with an “oval, broad” face. He had the distinguishing mark of a “small wart inside right eyebrow.” In this application, he states that he came to the U.S. aboard the Christiania on May 1, 1896, and that he had resided, uninterruptedly, in Milaca for 16 years between 1905 and 1921. He conceded that his first passport, issued in Minneapolis in August of 1919, was “used and cancelled in visiting Norway.” Knute also states in this application that he was naturalized as a citizen of the U.S. in Granite Falls. He intends to leave from New York, aboard the Bergensfjord, on June 17, 1921.

On June 19, 1923, Knute served as the identifier for August Stromberg’s application for a U.S. passport. Knute, claiming that he resided in Milaca, the home of the applicant, said that he had known August Stromberg for 18 years and vouched for his identity.

In the 1930 census, Knute and his family lived on 2nd Avenue in Milaca where he was a loan agent for a trust company. The family lived in a house that Knute owned and that was valued at $5500. The family consisted of Knut, 53, Thora, 40, Robert T., 6, and Bertha E., 5. Thora was first married at age 32. Knute is shown as having come to the U. S. in 1905.

In the 1940 census, Knute and Thora and their two children lived in Milaca in the same house they had lived in in 1935. Thora’s father lives with them. Knute was an agent for an investors syndicate and earned $1025 in 1939. Knute had an eighth-grade education, Thora had had two years of college.

In the 1957 Faribault city directory, which includes Northfield, Knute and Thora were still at 915 W 2nd. Knute was an office worker for Edwin L Parson.



Knut’s last trip to Norway was in the summer of 1954. He arrived back in New York on 19 Jul 1954 from Oslo. An earlier trip was in 1919, right after the war. He arrived back in New York on October 7, 1919, aboard the S.S. Vangerfjord which had departed Kristiania on September 27, 1919. He went again in 1922.
