Ivan Asher McCollor

Ivan Asher McCollor was born March 4, 1880 in Grant Co. MN to Peter and Margaret McCollor. According to the book by Clair Nelson and Kathy McCollor Stigman* he was a farmer until 1918, a school custodian about 1920, and operated a produce station until his retirement. He resided on a farm near Herman from approximately 1910 to 1913, then on a farm west of Donelly, MN for six years and then in the village of Donnelly the remainder of his life.
 
We don't have much more information on Ivan, but from the censuses and WWI documents we have a place to start. We know that he married Jennie Jan (Neille) McCollor November 27, 1907.  We have his WWI draft card, filed when he was 38 years old. His occupation is listed as laborer, employed by Thomas McCollor.  Unless I am reading his employer's name wrong, I don't know which Thomas it refers to, as his uncle Thomas passed away long before this.
 
Also in the draft card, he gives his nearest relative as Jennie McCollor, his wife, and he is described as being medium height and weight, and with black hair and black eyes.  Under the section that asks if he has any physical disqualification, where it usually says "no", there is something that starts with "physically -?-" the second word being illegible. The 1930 census of Donnelly shows the Ivan McCollor family owned their own home, valued at $3,000 (at 1930 property values we can assume it was an above average home), and Ivan, 50 years old, working in a cream station.
 
He died April 15, 1949 at the Stevens County Hospital in Morris, MN and was buried at the Vinger Cemetery at Donnelly, Steven's Co., MN.  It appears he is the only McCollor buried at that cemetery.

Research notes: I found no record of the actual date of Eleanor's first marriage. It must have been shortly after the 1930 census, in which both of them are listed as "single" and living with their respective parents. They divorced sometime prior to 1937 when Siebelt remarried to another divorcee, Ann(a) (Larson) Eddy, they had sons, Kermit (1937), Ronald (1939).
 
Eleanor and Audie lived in Minneapolis, MN and traveled in their trailer homes.
