  Notes	He registered for the draft on September 12, 1918 as George G. Ellingboe, farmer, Route #1 Maynard, Chippewa County. He listed his nearest relatives as his parents at Route #1, Maynard. He is described as tall and of slender build with blue eyes and light hair. In the 1930 census, he was living with his wife Lora and his sister Agnes, 28, in Maynard, MN. George is 30, owns his home worth $1800, and has a radio. His wife is 26. They have been married for 5 years. For some reason, George and Agnes’s parents were reported, erroneously, as having been born in “United States” and “Minnesota.” None of the three are shown as having any occupation. In the 1936 Minneapolis city directory, he lives with his mother and sister Agnes at 409 E 18th. In the 1940 census, he was a 40 year-old divorced man living with his mother and sister in Minneapolis. He had an eighth-grade education and was employed as a truck driver, currently working 6 hours per week. He registered for the draft in Minneapolis at the Municipal Auditorium on 14 Feb 1942. At that time he was not employed and lived with his sister Agnes at 1711 Portland Avenue in Minneapolis. George was shown as “single” in his death certificate. He was a veteran of World War II. He died from severe burns received in an accidental home fire. An article in the December 4, 1954, edition of the Star said that George died in a fire that destroyed his home and severly injured the man that lived with him, Svere Ulvik, age 70. (Ulvik survived and died in 1973.) According to the Minnesota Veterans Graves Registration Index, George was a veteran of World War II. Find A Grave shows his gravestone which says S1 USNR.
