  Notes	He should have been the heir to Skøre. Instead, 34/1 went to Bøye, the next surviving son. Brad’s notes, regarding conversations he had with relatives in Norway, refers to Ole as “Ole Ellingboe in the Cities.” Ole was a frequent visitor to the Ole and Albert Ellingboe farms in Lakeville. These visits may have been accompanied by visits to Selma Nelson, a neighbor of the Ellingboes and a sister of “Ole the plumber”’s first wife. He may be the 22 year-old Ole O Ellingboe who arrived in New York and passed through Ellis Island. In the 1901 Minneapolis city directory, Ole is living with Jøger at 1425 East Franklin. In the 1903 Minneapolis city directory, he is probably the Ole Ellingboe, a laborer for J H McGuire, living at 521 12th Ave S. In the 1905 census, Ole, Mary, and Theodore live in Minneapolis. Ole is a plumber. Living with them is Ole’s 35 year-old aunt Randi Ellingboe, a dressmaker. Shown as a steamfitter on Theodore’s birth certificate.

In the 1910 census, Ole and the three kids, Theodore, Oscar, and Inga, live at 2104 22nd Avenue in Minneapolis. Ole is a widower. Living with the family is Linette Engdahl, a 19 year-old servant, recently arrived from Norway. In the 1916 Minneapolis city directory, he is Ole Ellingboe, a foreman for C A Simmons. He rooms at 811 12th Avenue S. Ole registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Minneapolis as Ole Olson Ellingboe. He lived at 4428 44th Avenue South. He was a plumber for Conner Brothers of 711 6th Avenue North in Minneapolis. He gave as his nearest relative Mary Bekken, sister, 6058 17th Street in Minneapolis. Ole was of medium height and build with blue eyes and reddish brown hair. In the 1918 Alien Registration, he was Ole Ellingbo, age 38, of Minneapolis. He is listed in “The Valdris Book”, a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books), as “Ole Ellingboe Minneapolis.” He was a member of the Samband from 1902 to 1916. In the 1919 city directory, he is a plumber and boards at 4428 44th Avenue S. In the 1920 census, Ole, a widower, is living with the Henry Hanson family of 4428 44th Avenue S. in Minneapolis. He is shown as “nephew” along with his 13 year-old son Oscar who is also living with the Hansons. Ole was born in Norway and came to the U.S. in 1901. Ole is a plumber. Ole, of 4428 44th Avenue in Minneapolis, was listed as the nearest relative of Harry Olson Ellingboe on Harry’s draft registration. Seemingly related here is Bertha Ellingboe, b. ca 1896, in Norway, a tailoress, who lives with Conrad and Mary Hanson of 4420 43rd Avenue S. in Minneapolis. Conrad Hanson and Henry Hanson both work at a bag factory. (That Bertha is, apparently, #10692, the daughter of Anders Tollefson and Ingeborg Olsdatter.) In the 1924 Minneapolis city directory, he is Ole Ellingboe, helper, residing at 923 Chicago Avenue, flat 1. In the 1927 Minneapolis city directory, he is Ole Ellingboe, plumber, residing at 929 Chicago Avenue, apartment 1. In the 1928 Minneapolis directory, he is probably the Ole Ellingboe living at 736 E 18th. In the 1930 census, Ole is a lodger at a rooming house in Minneapolis. He is a plumber for an illuminating company. In the 1930 Minneapolis city directory, he is Ole O Ellingboe, a caulker for Minneapolis Gas Light Company. He resides at 818 East 18th, apartment 9.

In the 1940 census, he and Bertha live at 3209 20th Avenue in south Minneapolis, a house that owns that is worth $4000. Ole is a caulker for an illuminating gas plant. This is the same house in which they both had lived five years earlier. In the 1948 Minneapolis city directory, he is a mechanic for MGL. He and Bertha live at 3209 20th Avenue S. He is the Ole Ellingboe, age 69, arriving in New York on September 20, 1948, aboard the S.S. Stockholm which had departed from Gothenburg, Sweden, on September 11th. Ole’s address is shown as 3209 20th Avenue South in Minneapolis. His U.S. passport was #159040. He died leaving a widow Bertha who was the informant for his death certificate. According to that death certificate, Ole was a plumber/steam fitter for the Minneapolis Gas Company. His death date was qualified by “found” so he may have died at his residence, 3209 20th Avenue South, and Bertha may not have been living with him. His cause of death was coronary disease.
