GROUP CELEBRATION ~~~ From Our Archives

 

 

GROUP AT A CELEBRATION (titled on the back)

Names on the back, but not in order: John Nicholson, Knute Thurklesen, Peter Fredericksen, Peter Monson, Oscar Barton, Joseph Johansen, Geo Larsen, Joseph Wise, Dolph Bennett, Mason Larson, Elijah McClenahan, Thomas Ivie, John Stansfield, Ellertsen, Ellisher Brandon, PeterA. Larsen, Charles Averett, James D. Meyrick, Edward Zabriskie

It is my guess that this was a re-enactment with white men dressed as Indians. The names listed were some of the first settlers to Mt. Pleasant. Also of interest is the posters in the background advertising "Ten Nights in a Bar Room".

1909 Fiftieth Anniversary of the Settlement of Mt. Pleasant Proposal by Executive Committee, Dan Rasmussen Secretary

Several years ago Louise Johansen asked me (Kathy) to take care of her Scrapbook of the events of the Mt. Pleasant Pioneer Historical Association.  She had put in much effort and taken many photos to add to the history of this association.  I agreed and was honored that she would ask me. Somehow the scrapbooks were lost.  

I had looked everywhere in the Relic Home for them.

Then, they mysteriously showed up under the bed in the back bedroom.  We will be posting some of these choice articles and photos here and also on a page  called

"New Beginnings" by Louise Johansen.

from our archives: ..........PAULINE RASMUSSEN RETIRES

My mother-in-law, Alice Hafen saved many clippings that we like to share with you.  However, she didn't always save a date as well.  Perhaps someone can help fill in the blanks.

I do know that Pauline Rasmussen was my Kindergaarten teacher.  I will not share with you what year that was other than it was a long time ago.  I also remember how she scolded me when I accicentally flipped a shovel full of sand from the sandbox into Tyler Tuttles face. 

Lee R. Christensen comments:
Kathy: Great to see your Web site honoring Pauline Rasmussen. She was a legend in her own time. My mother, a grade school teacher herself, always considered Pauline the "best".
You have an early picture of Pauline - Pauline Monson - with Carre Hafen as a child with friends.

 Pauline, even then, is showing us how to sit in her classroom. Her son, Granny Peterson, was the quarterback on the football team with Carrie's son Neil who was, in today's terminology ,a wide receiver. lee

Because these family group sheets were recorded while the Mt Pleasant original pioneers were still alive or their first generation recorded them, they are considered to be "Origial Source Documents".
