We got a little more information about Rasmus from one of his nephews, Elmer.  He was the son of Rasmus' only sibling, Anna Marie, who came to Utah.  Elmer was 10 years old when Rasmus died.  He remembers taking food to Rasmus that Rasmus' sister Anna Marie cooked while Rasmus was living in a boarding house in Preston.  Elmer would often see Rasmus on the street in Preston on his way home from school and would go with Rasmus to his room to visit.  Rasmus would often give Elmer a nickle to spend.  Rasmus and Anna Marie were very close throughout their lives, and Anna Marie took care of Rasmus in difficult times.  Elmer remembers Rasmus as a very likeable person.

Kay and Jean May also sent us some information about Rasmus and Annie Christine.  Kay May is a son of Christina Margaret Olsen, who was Anne Marie (Mary) Olsen's next younger sister.  Rasmus' wife Annie Christine was admitted to the Blackfoot Insane Asylum in 1892.  After she left, Rasmus wasn't able to keep all the children at home and most of them were sent to live with other families.  Rasmus was disfellowshiped in 1895 and was rebaptized in 1907.  In 1900 he was living in Preston with his youngest son, Henry.  Rasmus lived with his daughter Christina and her family for about a year before his death in 1929.  Most of Rasmus and Annie Christine's children were very young when she left.  Rasmus also was in jail for a time, apparently in the late 1890s or early 1900s.  Their children supported themselves from a very early age, with some working in restaurants and sugar beet fields.
