Anna Marie Rasmussen Godfredsen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Rasmussen was born January 21, 1877.

She was married to R. H. Godfredsen in 1910 and moved to their farm northwest of town. With the exception of three years spent on their farm near Elmore, Minn., her entire life was spent at or near Goldfield.

Mrs. Godfredsen is survived by her husband, her sister, Mrs. Minnie Christiansen and her brother, Hans P. Rasmussen. Margaret Irene Godfredsen preceded her mother in death.

Mrs. Godfredsen was a member of the Goldfield United Presbyterian church, joining by profession of her faith in her girlhood. She was a member of the W. J. French Sabbath School class that sponsored the building of an additional class room for their own use.
