Oct. 9, 1930 & October 16, 1930: "Steffensen Dies This Morning at Audubon Hospital" "Injuries Received Week Ago Prove Fatal to 91 Year Old Audubon Man" "Rasmus Steffensen, 91 years old, and believed to have been Audubon's oldest citizen, died at 5:40 o'clock this morning at the Audubon hospital." "Mr. Steffensen had received a fractured right hip on Wednesday of last week when he fell. He was taken to the hospital, and failed to rally from the effects of the accident." "Here Many Years" "Mr. Steffensen had lived in this county for almost half of his life, and had made his home for several years with his son-in-law and daughter, Sheriff and Mrs. Fred Clemmensen." "He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on April 6, 1937, and grew to manhood there and was married to Johanna Sophia Nelson. He served his native country during the war with Germany, serving for eight months during the year of 1864." "When he was about 45 years old he came to America with his family. They settled at Jacksonville, where he worked on farms for four years, moving to a farm two miles west of Exira. They resided there until the death of Mrs. Steffensen, which occurred on November 6, 1911. In March of the following year he took up his residence with his son-in-law and daughter." "Obituary" "Rasmus Steffensen was born 6, 1939 at Copenhagen, Denmark. He was united in marriage to Johanna Sophia Johnsen. To them were born three children, Emilia Clemmensen of Audubon, Iowa; Alfred Steffensen of St. Joseph, Missouri; and William Steffensen of Shafer, Minnesota. He was also the step-father of four children: Hans Johnsen of Les Angeles, California; Chris Johnson of Audubon, Iowa; Sophia Hansen of Exira, Iowa; and Ole Johnson, deceased." "He served as a soldier in the war between Denmark and Germany in 1864, from which cause he has received a pension until the time of his death." "He came to the United States in 1886. He and his family made their home in Jacksonville, Iowa for four years and then moved to his farm west of Exira, where he lived until the death of his wife in 1911. Since then he made his home with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Clemmensen, where he lived until his death, October 9, 1930. He died at the age of 91 years, 6 months and 2 days." "To all his family and friends he will always be remembered as a remarkably pleasant person always making himself a pleasure to his surroundings."
