  Notes	He was Osten Ostenssen Böe at the time of his confirmation. In the 1870 census he was Osten Ostenson, a farmer in Springfield Twp, Winneshiek County, Iowa. He is I1340 in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. Jim’s notes: According to his great-great-granddaughter Claire and her mother Marie, Øystein was murdered by a man against whom Øystein was to testify for an earlier murder. One day, after threshing with other farmers, he told the others to go home while he took a nap in the hay stack. As the men were leaving, they looked back to see smoke from the hay stack and rushed back to find Øystein with his head badly beaten. They brought him home and summoned a doctor who stayed the night, but towards morning Øystein died. The men saw a man running away from the burning hay stack, but they could not see who he was. According to Bella, the family knew who had killed Øystein but they never revealed his name because the killer's family were good people. In 1850 there is an entry in the list of intentions to emigrate in which Østen, age 27, is linked with Ambjør Larsdatter, age 18, with a note that cannot be deciphered and a date of 3 Mar 1849.
