| Notes |
- Rasmus Hansen Lund was born 12 November 1840, a son of Hans Hansen Lun d a nd Karen Rasmussen, in the area called Hallingskev, Fyen, Denmark. Th e fa mily later moved to the beautiful island of Taasinge, or Thersing, m eanin g the God Thors Meadow, who was recognized as one of the early Dani sh god s.
Hans Hansen Lund secured the leasing of a large farm in the town of Gjes i ng. This island originally belonged to a nobleman by the name of Niel s Ju ul, Admiral in the Danish navy, and presented to him by the Danish G overn ment as an award for the successful sea battle in Kjge Bay (1677) . Henc e all lands were leased out, the title thereto remain vested in hi s desce ndants. The castle built in his honor is still standing and calle d “Valde mars Castle” and forms an attraction to tourists visiting Denmar k .
Rasmus Hansen Lund participated in the War of 1864 between Denmark and G e rmany. Due to exposure during this war, he was stricken with rheumati c pa in which he never overcame. For this service, he was awarded the “Wa r Ser vice Medal.” He also received a small pension after he arrived in S alt La ke City, Utah, through the Danish Vice Consulate here, Vice Counse l Pete r Hansen. After being discharged from the Army, he resumed work o n his fa ther’s farm. On 10 July 1866 he married Petrine Jensen, the daug hter o f a shipbuilder, Jens Hansen of Lundby, Taasinge. Petrine Jensen w as bor n 20 November 1843. While they made their home at Lundby, two chil dren we re born to them: Hans Marius Hansen Lund on 24 November 1867 an d Carolin e Petrine Hansen Lund on 29 April 1869. In the year 1870 Rasmu s Hansen Lu nd became the manager of the Cooperative Mercantile Institut e of Gundsema gle, Falster, Denmark. The family left for the new field o f activity, tak ing daughter Caroline Petrine with them. Marius Hansen Lu nd was left wit h his grandfather, Jens Hansen. The following children we re born at Gunde smagle: Jens (James) Peter Alfred Hansen Lund born 3 Dec ember 1870, Theod ore Hannibal Hansen Lund born 9 March 1872, Adolph Hans en Lund born 26 Se ptember 1875, George Guido Hansen Lund born 12 March 1 876, and Ernst Soph us Paulinus Hansen Lund born 23 January 1879.
Rasmus Hansen Lund was very much liked by his employers and his courtsm e n and when he decided to leave to go into business for himself in 1881 , t he Board of Directors offered him an increase in salary, but he wante d t o be his own boss. Sollested, Lolland, the place of the new busines s wa s a railroad and telegraph station located about 8 miles west of th e coas t city of Nakskev. The property purchased consisted of about an ac re of l and and the necessary out-buildings for livestock and poultry. Wh ile livi ng in Sollested the following children were born: Djalmar Emanue l Hanse n Lund born 4 May 1882, Balthasar Alexander Hansen Lund born 19 A pril 188 3, Bothilda Antonette Hansen Lund born 5 November 1884, Elvira K amilla Ha nsen Lund born 13 March 1886, and Rosamundi Adli Hansen Lund bo rn in 1887 . Bothilda and Rosamundi died in infancy; Bothilda died 27 Jun e 1887 an d Rosamundi died 24 June 1888. With the business deal, Rasmus w as allowe d to sell drinks and refreshments at the Railroad Station. He w as also t o see that the telegrams were delivered. The Inn was also a sto pover fo r traveling salesmen, and this also added to Rasmus’ source of i ncome. Ur anienborg, the name of the inn, was known for some distance aro und for it s accommodations and courteous service and so the business inc reased unti l it was necessary to add new buildings. A new two story bric k building w as erected, joining the other buildings. The first story wa s used for dan ces and public meetings, while the second story containe d several guest r ooms. There was also an outdoor bowling alley and wel l cared for garden . Rasmus Lund was highly respected and enjoyed a reput ation of fair and h onest dealings. Believing and practicing “the Golde n Rule,” he was also r eligiously inclined. It was therefore easy for hi m to accept the teaching s of the Mormon Elders with whom he came in cont act. After a thorough inv estigation of the gospel as taught by the missi onaries, he was baptized i n the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sai nts, 30 November 1887, in N akskov, Fjord, Denmark. All of the children w ere later baptized at the sa me place. After joining the L.D.S. Church, t hey were anxious to join th e Saints in Utah, so properties were offere d for sale, at a very reduce d price. It was not until nearly six years h ad passed that a sale was mad e. Four of Rasmus’s sons, Marius, Alfred, H annibal, and Adolph emigrate d to Utah four years before the rest of th e family in the year 1889. In e arly August 1893, the rest of the famil y left Sollested for Utah, accompa nied by the following children: Caroli ne, Sophus, Djalmar, George, Alexan der, and Elvira. They arrived in Sal t Lake City 3 September 1893 and resi ded there until 1895.
Rasmus H. Lund bought a grocery, hay and grain business which was locat e d at 339 So. Salt Lake City, Utah. The business was conducted under th e n ame R.H. Lund and Sons. The oldest son Marius was the manager. Due t o th e effect of the panic of 1892, the business was not very profitable . Duri ng the latter part of 1895, the property on State Street was trade d fo r a small farm in Pleasant Grove, Utah where the family then moved . Rasmu s’s son George Guido Lund died 21 November 1895 at 339 So. Stat e St; hi s son Theodore Hannibal Lund had died prior to the arrival of Ma rius an d Adolph on 11 May 1889 at Mt. Pleasant, Sanpete, Utah. They ha d both die d from Typhoid Fever. Djalmar went on a mission to Denmark. Wh en all of t he children had married, Rasmus and Petrine sold their proper ty in Pleasa nt Grove and moved to Crescent, Utah where they built a comf ortable hom e on ground given to them by their daughter, Caroline and he r husband Olu f Bohn. This property adjoined the Bohn home .
Rasmus Hansen Lund had always been a thrifty and economic person, a sple n did provider for his family, a liberal contributor when help was neede d . He had an attractive and pleasing personality which was a great fact o r in drawing people to him. He was joyful in his disposition, a fine da nc er, a fair singer, and a good mixer among friends and the public. It m us t be said of him that he was a faithful Latter Day Saint member holdin g t he office of High Priest. He was honest with his God and his fellowme n. B lessed be his memory.
The above was prepared by his eldest son, Marius Lund, from memory and o t her dependable sources and was read at the annual meeting of the Rasmu s H ansen Lund Family Association, which was organized 20 November 1922 , at t he Moose Club Hall on 19 November 1941
