  Notes	His Arizona birth certificate makes no mention of his being adopted. According to the 1930 census, Robert was an adopted son. His father had been born in Georgia and his mother in the U.S. That suggests that he may be a Southers too, perhaps a son of one of Mary Lee’s brothers. In the 1940 census, he and Ann E and Robert Jr. live next to or with his father and mother. He was a metal pourer at a steel mill. He had two years of high school. In the 1943 Pueblo, Colorado, city directory, Robt I “Ellingbol” and his wife, Anna E, lived at 2005 West Arroyo Ave. He was a steelworker. His employment record with CF&I shows that he served in the U.S. Marines from 15 Jul 1943 to 8 Nov 1945. He had only three years of high school. The 1945 Pueblo, Colorado, city directory shows Robert and Anna living at 2614 E Routt Avenue. Robert is in the USA (probably U.S. Army). Anna is an operator at MSH&TCo. He is not in the 1948 Pueblo directory. An obit: Robert Iver Ellingboe, 63, Keno, died in the Klamath County Nursing Home on Wednesday. Mr. Ellingboe was born on Feb. 8, 1918, in Mesa, Ariz. He served in the Marine Corps from 1943 until 1945 and was in the Air Force from 1947 until 1965. He retired as a TSGT, working an additional 11 years in the civil service. He moved to Keno with his wife, Delva, several years ago. Survivors include the widow, Delva of Keno; sons, Robert Jr., of Albuquerque, N.M., and John of Land O Lakes, Fla.; step-son Carl Grabel of Bedford, Tex.; step-daughter, Cheryl Kruckeberg of Cedar Ridge, Colo., brother, John Southers of Reno, Nev.; sister, Barbara Hibdon of Amarillo, Texas. Graveside services with military honors will be at 2 p.m. Monday at the Keno Cemetery, the Rev. John Johnson of the Keno Christian Church officiating. That Barbara Hibdon, “sister”, mentioned in Robert Iver’s obit, may be the Theresa, the 11 month-old daughter of Mary Southers Grome, in the 1900 census. It’s also possible that Barbara Hibdon was a child of Robert Iver’s biological parents, whoever they were. A Barbara Hibdon, b. 7 Jun 1899, died in Amarillo on 12 Jan 1986, the widow of James Ambrose Hibdon (1896-1984). According to the 1940 census, she was born in Colorado.
