    OBITUARY
    MRS. KAREN RASMUSSEN
    A well-known and highly respected pioneer of Nikenbah, Mrs. Karen Marie Rasmussen, aged 67 years and nine months, passed away early yesterday at her residence at Nikenbah. She was born in Denmark and came out to Queensland at the age of nineteen years, landing at Maryborough 50 years ago. She was married at Gympie, remaining there for five years. Mr. and Mrs. Rasmussen also lived at Tiaro. They settled at Nikenbah thirty years ago and engaged in farming. Mr. Jacob Rasmussen died in 1912. Mrs. Rasmussen left a family of one son, Andrew, and one daughter, Mrs. G. H. Watson, both of Lagoon Pocket, Mary Valley Line. There are five grandchildren. Mrs. Rasmussen, after her husband's death, used her talents in nursing. She helped all classes of the community in need of assistance. She was of a kindly disposition and was loved by all with whom she came in contact, ever ready day or night, to go into any home on errands of mercy. As a member of the Methodist Church, she was an ardent worker in her younger days, and it was principally through her untiring zeal that the Methodist Church has remained at the township to this day. One son, Paul, who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. and one daughter, Mrs. F. C. Christensen, of Nikenbah, predeceased her. The funeral will take place this morning. Friends are requested to meet at the Methodist Church, Nlkenbah, at 11 o'clock. The interment will take place after the service.
