Per: G. E. Elling J. Winjum's father was Jens Ellingsen Winjum (mararied to Anna Olsdtr. Otterness) and he was a brother to Barbro Marie Ellingsdtr. Winjum Lee, who was Elling Olsen Winjum's mother. Their farms in the pioneer days adjoined each other and to the south of them was their brother, Lars E. Winjum, on the homestead that later became the Mons Fladager farm now owned by Wayne and Marion Bunge. Lars E. Winjum was married to the oldest daughter ofEllend and Ase Ytre Lee Skaim #106a (on what was later the Frank and Lois Hahn farm) They arae listed in the 1860-1875 censuses with a daughter Ase. Sometime before 1896, they have gone elsewhere, probably, Dakota Territory, as Mathilda Glasrud Lee, mentions some Winjum relatives in the Dakotas persuading Knut Lee to come out there to homestead which they did--and which Mathilda packed everybody up and moved back to Spring Grove from the Dakota homestead.This Lars Winjum would have been Knut Lee's great-uncle and a fairly reliable person for Knut to trust with his possessions and family to bring to Dakota Territory. The relationship to Knut, as any thing dealing with the Winjums,was completely ignored by Mathilda Glasrud Lee in her conveyance of this to her children.

Per G. E. 11/11/2004- - Brita and Elling Winjum are mentioned in Robert E. A. Lee's book "Mathilda's Journey" as neighbors to Knut and Mathilda Lee in Spring Grove in the early years of Knut & Matilda's marriage. Unfortunately, Robert E. A. Lee did not go into the relationship of the Lees to the Winjums and gathered from the book that Mathilda Glasrud Lee was embarrassed with having an association with these Winjums and surely did not want anyone to conjecture a family relation to them--which there was.

Spring Grove Herald - March 28, 1918 - Suicide by Hanging - Elling O. Winjum, aged about 70 years committed suicide by hanging Tuesday afternoon in a hay shed near his residence on Black Hammer Street.

Mr. Winjum was a man who associated with others very little and no reason, other than he had little means of livelyhood can be assigned to the rash act.
Funeral will be held Friday or Saturday from Engell & Sons undertaking parlors, Rev. A. O. Johson officiated.
