VAST CONCOURSE AT
RASMUSSEN FUNERAL

Masons in Charge of Rites; 
Deceased Was Well Known. 

Members of Racine Ledge. No 92. F. 
& A.. M.., the Danita society and 
other organizations today joined 
in paying a final tribute to one 
of their most beloved members, 
Frederick Rasmussen, whose death 
occurred at the home of his niece 
Mrs. Otto Kopitzke. 1623 Wocdrow 
Avenue. The bodv lay in state in 
the Masonic Temple for several 
hours previous to the funeral 
services, which began at 2 
o'clock.  Many of the members of 
the Masonic lodge and Dania 
society and lather friends passed 
before the bier during those 
hours, as Mr. Rasmussen was about 
the oldest member of those 
organizations and a man who held 
the many friendships he had made 
during his residence of 54 years 
in Racine. There were many floral 
offerings. A large number of 
friends accompanied the body to 
Mound Cemetery, where it was 
buried with solemn rites.  Active 
pallbearers were members of the 
Masonic order, and the honorary 
pallbearers were all members of 
Dania society, all close friends 
of Mr Rasmussen. The Rev Frank  
Nielsen, paster of Our Savior's 
church, preached the sermon at the 
Masonic Temple.  For many years, 
he has maintained his home at 820 
State Street, but for the past 10 
years, he had lived with his 
niece, Mrs. Frank Bramow, 1211 
Geneva Street, and it was only a 
short time before his  death that 
he went to Iive with his other 
niece, Mrs. Kopitzke.
