By 1895, she was the second wife of husband Iver Olson/Oleson (ugh!) (b. March, 1831 d. Nov. 5, 1907) and with son Thomas Marinus Anker (b. Jan. 11, 1895 d. Feb. 19, 1976). By 1930, she left widowed and is living as a boarder with another immigrant from Norway named Gina Hatleskog, who was born in 1857 and immigrated in 1892.<br /><br />If this photo was taken at Ellen Ankers place, it was likely taken between 1907 and 1918. I suspect the other ladies are likely fellow immigrants, church ladies, and/or family (but it is unlikely to be Ellen's).Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-73531337631562030012012-11-25T21:41:27.494-06:002012-11-25T21:41:27.494-06:00That is most likely her.

Also in Otter Tail County there is Clitherall Township, wherein there is a cemetery known as Leaf Mountain Cemetery. In that cemetery is buried Mrs. Ellen [nee Thompson] Anker. Ellen Anker [3/15/1851 - 3/1/1940] was the second wife of Iver Anker [1831 - 1907] who is also buried in Leaf Mountain Cemetery. The photo appears to have been taken in the early or middle part of the second decade of the twentieth-century. Since that was after Mr. Anker's death in 1907, it makes sense that the item was labeled as being taken at Mrs. Ellen Anker's place. I surely wish more of the automobile was visible!
