Sarah Rasmussen Anderson Remembers Her Mother

Some of you will remember Sarah. I always knew her as a cousin to Grandma Alice Peel Hafen, my mother-in-law. But on a more personaal basis, I remember her as the lovely lady who greeted you with a smile and a hug at the Manti temple. The following poem is written by Sarah in honor of her mother, Jennie Eunice Peel Rasmussen, on her mother's birthday. It contains quite a bit of interesting history as well as her endearment to her mother.

John Cliff and Cassie Rasmussen (Mystery)







This photo was found amongst Alice Hafen's photo collection.  I looked up both John Cliff and Cassie Rasmussen in New Family Search. Can't find them as a married couple.  However, they are both wearing wedding bands.  One possible solution to this mystery is that Cassie is possibly Anna Katherine Rasmussen and Cassie is a nickname.  Anna Katherine Rasmussen was the daughter of Christian Rasmussen and Hermina Rozena Hafen which could  be the reason it was amongst Alice's photos.  Alice's mother-in-law, Carrie Hafen was born in 1889 and Anna Katherine was born in 1891.  This photo may have come from Carrie's photo collection.  If you can, please help us fill in the blanks.  Thank You
