Adams County Leader 4-1-1921
Adams County Leader
Council, Idaho
Friday, April 1, 1921
 
Rasmus Hanson died Wednesday night
 
As we are ready to go to press we learn that Rasmus Hanson, pioneer resident 
of this neighborhood died at the home of his son-in-law Ellis Hartley, at 
Payette at eleven o'clock on Wednesday night after an illness of nearly a year.
 
The remains will be brought to Council, this Friday morning and the funeral 
will be held from the local Methodist church at 10:30 o'clock.  Burial will be 
made in the Oddfellows' Cemetery.  Sorren and Will Hansen sons, and Mrs. Ross, 
daughter were called to his bedside on Sunday and were with him at the time of 
death.  The cause of death is given as cancer of the stomach.  The deceased was
seventh-four years of age and had been a resident of this section for thirty-
eight years.  He was a sturdy, honorable man, who had a host of friends 
throughout the county.  We will endeavor to gather data for obituary mention 
for our next issue. 
 
(The Adams County Leader, Friday, April 8, 1921)
 
Rasmus Hanson Laid at Rest
 
The body of Rasmus Hanson was brought home last Friday morning from Payette 
and the funeral was held from the Methodist Church immediately after the 
arrival of the train.
 
A brief and appropriate funeral sermon was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Riley and 
L.L. Burtenshaw, old-time friend of the deceased reviewed briefly the useful 
life that had just gone out.  From his remarks we gathered that Rasmus Hansen 
was born in Denmark on July 30, 1847, and came directly from Europe to Utah.  
After living in that state for 2 yrs he came to this community and settled
in Hornet Creek valley.  Since giving up active work he had spent most of his 
time in Council until last fall when he went to Payette, in the hope that the 
change of altitude would prove beneficial.  While there he made his home with 
his son-in-law, Ellis Hartley.  Mr. Burtenshaw basing his remarks upon long 
personal acquaintance, paid his tribute to the personnal character of the 
deceased, and from general comment we gather that his view but reflects that 
of the old gentleman's acquaintance as a whole.
 
The deceased is survived by his widow, three sons - Sorren, of Council; 
Nelson, of New Plymouth, and William, of Council --- and two daughters, Mrs 
Stena Ross who lives near Council, and Miss Anna Hanson of Fruitland.  The 
members of the family have requested that we, on their behalf, extend thanks 
for the many acts of kindness and courtesy shown at the time of their 
bereavement.
