    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.”
