Private Unmarked Burial
Spring Creek Township, NE 1/4 of Section 25 on property now owned by Roy Krajeck, West Fargo, ND. Formerly owned by Lenus and August Swenson, Swenson Brothers. Two sons of Lars and Sophie Rasmussen died of the flu and were buried here in the corner of a cornfield in unmarked graves. The site was across County Road 5 from the Swenson place. The Rasmussen parents were natives of Denmark. Mrs. Rounsville says Lars died between 1908 and 1917 and Sophie died in 1925 or 1926. They are reportedly buried in Concordia Cemetery of Fertile, MN, but there are no markers. The sons probably died before the father and he buried them on the farm where they lived. However, they may have died in the flu epidemic of 1918.
