Rasmussen of Vienna, and Mrs. Carl Rasmussen and Mrs. Rasmus Rasmussen of Grand Rapid, besides numberous grandchildren who mourn her loss. She was buried at Grand Rapid Minn on January 20th.
From my Grandmother's scrapbook. Other entries on this page dated 1914. This was probably the Lake Preston newspaper, though not certain of that.
