Sudden Death of Otto Rasmussen

Mrs. Loren Kelley and Mrs. T. V. Singer, of this village, received a most distressing telegram message yesterday morning stating that their father, Otto Rasmussen, had just expired at his home in Leola, where he had lived for many years, being one of the best-known men in that town. He was about his farm work as usual and died a few minutes after being stricken with heart trouble. Funeral services will be held Sunday at 2 o'clock. --Hancock News

Mr. Rasmussen for a number of years represented the town of Leola on the County Board, and was an active republican political worker in his section of the county. His strict honesty, genial disposition, and straight forwardness of purpose, made him hosts of friends throughout the country.

In the passing of Otto Rasmussen, the town of Leola loses one of its best citizens, and Adams county one who always was an active supporter of all measures that were for its betterment and advancement.
