R. P. Rasmussen, a well known resident of Corliss, died last night, *aged 42. Mr. Rasmussen is survived by a wife, one son and two daughters. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the home.
*aged -- this is how it was in the obituary.
Rasmus's occupation on his youngest daughter Lydia's birth certificate reads "Blocksmith." I suspect Blocksmith was intended to read, "Blacksmith." A search of Racine City Directories states his occupation as a blacksmith in some directories and as a *teamster in other directories. *Teamster in this instance is a person who works with a team of horses.
In the 1905 Wisconsin Census Rasmus listed his occupation as a Farmer.
Rasmus was born in Verninge, Odense, Denmark. On January 1, 2007, the counties were abolished and replaced by five larger regions. Find a Grave's naming goes along with that naming convention.
