Rasmussen, Victim of Heart Attack - Of Danish birth, and when 18 years of age, Peter H. Rasmussen left Denmark, the land of his fathers, behind him, crossed the Atlantic, and came as far west as Bennett, Nebraska. There he spent four or five years, and on Feb. 15, 1888 he was married to Miss Karen Olsen. Soon thereafter the young couple went to Akron, Colorado, as homesteaders. After three years of this type of life, they came back to Bennett again, and ten years later, they moved to Howard county. Here, too, farming was his chief interest, and only thirteen years ago they moved to St. Paul, where they spent life's evening hour in their lovely home in quiet and contentment. In his more than 83 years, from May 11, 1864 to January 23, 1948, he had opportunity to see many tremendous changes in our world. With his European background and his nice span of years here in America, life afforded him many rich opportunities. Already the family had been planning for the sixtieth wedding anniversary, which would have come in only a few weeks from now, on February 15th. The seven children are as follows: Christine (Mrs. Albert Jensen); Ella (Mrs. Nobel Larson); Thorvald W. Rasmussen; Einer Rasmussen; and Harold Rasmussen, all of St. Paul; Elvin Rasmussen of Omaha; and Lillian (Mrs. John McInerney), Washington D. C. There are also 27 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Of Lutheran heritage, considerate of his family, true to his friends, this pioneer among us slipped out from us somewhat suddenly and without much warning, when his heart failed him in ripe old age. Services were held at the McIntyre home Monday afternoon at 1:15 p.m. and then at the Presbyerian church with Rev. E. A. Ahrens and Rev. V. R. Bell officiating. Mrs. Seth Oleson, Mrs. Ralph Zlomke, Joe Worrell and Harry Lingford sang "God Will Take Care of You", "Good Night and Good Morning", and "Going Down the Valley", accompanied by Mrs. Herbert Falk. Burial was in Elmwood cemetery. Pallbearers were Marvin Jensen, Lelon Jensen, Ivan Rasmussen, Glen Rasmussen, Daryl Rasmussen and Robert Rasmussen. Flower bearers were Dorothy Jensen, Cathryn Rasmussen, Wilma Rasmussen and Karen Rasmussen. Sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. Card of Thanks - We would express our sincere thanks to friends and neighbors for words of comfort and lovely flowers, and especially to Verden McIntyre and Dr. E. C. Hanisch. Mrs. Peter H. Rasmussen and Family
