• Notes: reference, 1917, ND. ELLEF KNUDSON MYHRE
One of the leading mercantile enterprises of Valley City is the property of Ellef Knudson Myhre, a self-made man whose well directed energies have enabled him to advance steadily toward the goal of success. A native of Norway, he was born at Hallingdal in October, 1856. His father, Knute Storlie, also a native of that place, had various business connections and held several local offices, serving for some time in a position similar to that of judge of the probate court.

His son, Ellef Knudson Myhre, the third in a family of nine children, spent his school days in Norway and in 1873 came to America, being then a youth of seventeen years. He was the second of the family to cross the Atlantic, having been preceded by his brother, Ole K. Myhre, who settled in Minnesota in 1872 and is now living at Nome, Barnes county, North Dakota. On coming to the new world E. K. Myhre made his way direct to Minnesota, where he devoted a year to farming and then began work at the painter's trade, which he had previous learned in his native land. He was thus employed until March, 1879, when he removed to Fargo and in July of the same year came to Valley City, where he again followed his trade until 1885, in which year he opened a store that he conducted until 1894.
