During the days that followed the accident, husband and children were near her, all hoping that a change would come and that her life would be spared. But the deadly poison from the gasoline fumes had penetrated the lungs and stomach to such extent that there could be no relief. The accident happened when Mrs. Rasmussen attempted to remove the gasoline tank from the stove to fill it while the burner were still aflame. A drip from the bottom of the tank caused the gasoline to ignite. When the flames flared up Mrs. Rasmussen was directly in their path, and the result was that her arms were covered with the liquid flame. In the meantime she must have inhaled the fumes. She rushed out into the yard, and with the assistance of her daughter, Mrs. Jamison, the flames were subdued, but not until both arms had been badly burned. A physician was summoned and gave all relief possible within his power. But it was evident from the start that it was a fight between life and death, and after five days of suffering the death messenger entered the home. Funeral services were held from the home on Saturday afternoon of last week at 2 o'clock, in charge of Rev. Jas. H. Gagnier of the Baptist church, and the remains were interred in the Bluff View cemetery. Ardilla Conrow was born at Lamoille, Illinois, December 18, 1863. At the age of 13 she came to South Dakota with her parents. On November 17, 1881, she was united in marriage to George Rasmussen, and to this union were born seven children, six of whom are living, including Mabel Bowles, Avon, SD; Maude Jamison, Mitchell, SD; Winnie Miller, Beresford, SD; Arthur Rasmussen, Lake Andes, SD; George A. Rasmussen, Avon, SD; and Mada Kelley, Omaha. The seventh child, Gertrude Fisher, died December 3, 1918. She is also survived by the husband and four sisters, the latter being Mrs. J.H. Parson, Quinn, SD; Mrs. Frank Beckett, F. Belle Conrow and Ida Jordan Pattee, of Vermillion. The death of Mrs. Rasmussen removes a lady from our midst who was well known in the community in which she had resided for a long period. And her sudden call to the better world brings sorrow not alone to the relatives but to the many friends as well. She was a devoted wife and a kind and loving mother, and the home from which she is called will miss her ministrations. While she always took an active interest in affairs generally, she spared no effort in caring for her sons and daughters in a way that was truly commendable, and in doing her full share toward making the home life pleasant for the husband and the member of the happy circle. And in their hour of sorrow like sympathy of the entire community is extended to the husband, sons, daughters and sisters.
