Ellertson, near Madelia, on Monday, January 29, 1940, at the advanced age of 95 years, nine months and seven days. She had been confined to her bed for several months, suffering from the infirmities of old age. Mrs. Ulvestad was the daughter of Kirsten and Kari Hagen. She was born in Borgun, Sogn, Norway, April 22nd, 1844, and the old family bible gives record of her baptism on May 15th of that same year. In 1855 she came to American with her parents, arriving in New York on July 4th, after a voyage of eight weeks. They came directly to Spring Prairie, Wisconsin, where she grew to young womanhood and where she was confirmed by Rev. H. A. Preus, a pioneer pastor. In 1863 the family moved to Fillmore county, Minnesota, where, in 1867, she was married at Arendahl by the Rev. F. C. Clausen. In 1870 the young couple came to Watonwan county, Minnesota, and located on a farm in Rosendale township, where they lived until they moved into Madelia in 1899. Mr. Ulvestad died in 1916 and soon afterward Mrs. Ulvestad went to live with her daughter, Mrs. T. Ellertson, remaining there until the time of her death. Mr. and Mrs. Ulvestad were the parents of five children. Their four sons, Ole, Andrew, Julius and Adolph, preceded their mother in death. Their daughter, Mrs. T. Ellertson (Anna) is their only surviving child. Mrs. Ulvestad is also survived by seven grand-children and by one great grandchild. Mrs. Ulvestad was a pioneer member of the Rosendale Lutheran church and of its Ladies' Aid. She became a member of Trinity Lutheran church of Madelia in January, 1926. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. L. W. Halvorson, at Trinity Lutheran church, at 2 o'clock this (Friday) afternoon, and burial will be at the Rosendale cemetery. The pallbearers will be Melvin Ellertson, Arthur Ellertson, Adolph Ellertson, Jerome Ulvestad, Elvin Ulvestad and Willard Smith. [snip]
