2. Elgon Memories: A History of Eglon Twp, Clay Co, MN

- Hartvig Kildahl was a parochial school teacher; moved to Washington state


3. sources: wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com Terril Hayes and Dale Rosten (Rosten's no longer on line) - provide information on births, etc, and on children

(a) Nekoline NOT Vervified if Nekoline is the daughter of Ingeborg
information gathered
- Terrill Hayes 23 Aug 2009 -- indicates that Nekoline Mikkelson is the daughter of Ingeborg from an unknown relationship; it appears that this may be based on an email he received from "a cousin" on 8 March 2003
- Nekoline is recorded in 1880 US Census under Lars Mikkelson (Senior) household, as a daughter, age 8 <1872>; Ingeborg is also listed as a daughter with occupation as a 'Domestic Servant';
- neither Ingeborg or Nekoline are listed with Lars Mikkelson household in the 1885 (Nekoline is with Hartvig and Ingeborg) or 1895 MN State (Nekoline not recorded in 1895);
- 1900 US Census indicates Ingeborg is the mother of 8 children with 6 living - Hilmina died (Lou Larsen information) in 1 Dec 1894, but 6 other children were living in 1900, thus, 1 unrecorded child died between 1885 and 1895 - possibly Nekoline
- 1910 US Census records Ingeborg is the the mother of 8 children with 5 living - died - Hilmina, Ingerram, and ? -- Nekoline - most likely
- MN State Census - see below


1885 MN State Census, Lake Park, Becker Co
- Hartvig age 41, Ingeborg age 30, Nekoline age 13 <1872>, Mical age 1 <1884> - both children born in MN; family # 63
- also listed with family is Christine Olson, age 40, born in Norway

1895 MN State Census, (Village of) Lake Park, Becker Co --- NOTE: image is of poor quality, but I believe with high confidence that this is Hartvig Kildahl family
- Hartvig age 50, Ingeborg age 41, Mical age 11, Jacob age 9 <1886>, Simonette age 6 <1889>, Annie [ spelling ? ] age 4 <1891>, Hans age 9 months <Oct 1894>; all children born in MN
- Hartvig listed as a School Teacher, resident of the state for 14 yrs and 14 yrs in this enumeration district
- Ingeborg resident of the state for 24 yrs and 10 yrs in this enumeration district
- Nekoline not recorded - see next line

Clay Co Recorder's office - death index: Nekoline Mikkelson, 16 Jan 1886


Conclusion; Nekoline was born about 1872, mother Ingeborg; Nekoline died in 1886

+++ Hilimine or Hilmina (as recorded by Terril Hayes) is not listed, therefore, it is likely she died before 1900; Hilimine's death is not recorded on the MN Death Index --- dates of birth/death from Lou Larson, Feb 2011

NOTE: the 1914-16 Platt shows much of this under H J Kildall; whereas Ingeborg had the N half of the SW of the NE quarter - assumed this had been sold by 1920

11. Hartvig - WA Death Records, 30 Sept 1911

- recorded as Hartwick J Kildall
- as at death as 67, <1844>
- parents - Michael Kildall and Dorthea Senson


the following is likely a different person for Hartvig -- there are some others in the Lynden area
-- WA State Census, 1889, has M Kildal <1831> at Whatcom Co (next line is Christina, age 38)
-- WA Death Records - Michael, 15 July 1924, age 93 <1931>; also see obit -- says he had a surviving son, John, living in Vancouver, BC
-- 1920 US Census - Michael, age 89; with Howard and Maria Lee - father in law; born in Norway; emigrated 1888

-- but no record of Hartvig in 1900 US or MN or WA State Census (nor for Michael) -- is it possible Hartvig and his father, Michael, went to Canada for a a few years???


12. from "A History of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Lawrence, WA" - "Souvneir Program - Cornerstone Laying and History of Immanuel Lutheran Church, 22 June 1947"
-- source: Whatcom Co, WA US Genweb - www.theusgenweb.org/wa/whatcom

- "Bible School, which was then called Norweigan School, was conducted one month each summer by Mr. Monsen and Mr. Kildahl"
- fall of 1946 - Building committe members include Mr. M. B. Kildahl


13. Lou Larson family info, Feb 2011

- Hartvig had some health problems and because of this the family moved to WA
- he was known as a teacher and Klokker at Solem Lutheran Church
- apparently some of the family in Minnesota considered him "lazy and not a good farmer" - "he wanted to be a teacher, preacher, and choir master"; this is one of the reasons he left MN for WA
- in WA, after the fall harvest, he took a boat down Pugent Sound to Tacoma and from there he went by horseback to Parkland College, now Pacific Lutheran University at Parkland, WA [ about 20 kms south of downtown Tacoma ] (the rest of the family stayed at the farm) [ likely he came back to the farm in the spring/early summer ]
- he was also known as a preacher and teacher at Lawrence, WA (see point 12 above)

Pacific Lutheran University -- today affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America
- from wikipeadia - established by Scandianvians in 1890 with first classes in 1894 with 30 students; change of name in 1898 to Pacfic Lutheran Academy and Business College; financial troubles (founder went for close to two years in Alaska searching for gold; in 1918 closed for 2 years because of the Norwegian Lutheran merger); in 1920 joined with Columbia College in Everett and and named Pacific Lutheran College
- land for sale -- see http://collections.washingtonhistory.org/emuwebwshs/objects/common/webmedia.php?irn=12690
- it appears that Parkland College was established earlier -- Rev Bjug Harstad was the first president, but later in the above article it notes that Bjug was president from 1884-1885 and 1887-1888 [ Nils Joseph Hong was president 1898-1918, the time that Hartvig was a teacher there ]
