In 1930, my
2nd-great-grandfather's brother Gregar or (Gregger) Boe and his family were enumerated in Williston. Williams County, North Dakota. The households of his two married sons were enumerated below his household.

Ingmar Boe's wife, Louise Ann Decouteau, was a member of the Ojibwe Native American tribe. The 1937 Indian Census of the
Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation shows that Ingmar was in the penitentiary.

Although the Indian census roll indicated that Ingmar would be in the penitentiary until 1940, he had been released by 5 November 1938, when he married Pearl (Peterson) Gardner in Sidney, Richland County, Montana.
