About Ragnhild Rasmussen
from http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=60011255 "The Rev. P. A. Rasmussen of Lisbon, Ill., and Miss Ragnhild Holland were married in the first log school house for District 4 in Primrose Wisconsin in the spring of 1855 by Elling Eielson the pastor of the Primrose Norse Evangelical Lutheran Congregation. "
from http://www.haugelogchurch.org/Archives12Const.html 'The first wedding said to have been performed in the old log church was that of Rev P.A. Rasmussen of Lisbon, Illinois to Ragnhild Holland in 1854."
from http://kittymunson.com/index.php?page=holland-family from Dr. Craig Stevenson's Stevenson and Skjold History compiled 1984
Ragnhild, the Haaland’s only daughter, married the first pastor of the West Lisbon Lutheran Church, Rev. Peter Andreas Rasmussen. Rev. Rasmussen was at the West Lisbon Church from 1854-1898, he baptized, confirmed, married, and buried many of our family ancestors. The West Lisbon congregation built four different churches during this time. The membership swelled so rapidly that a church would be built, out grown, and another built in its place. Finally in 1871 a church which could seat over one thousand people was built. This building was used until 1925, when it was destroyed by fire.
The people living in the area of a small settlement called Helmar, which was about 8 miles northeast of the West Lisbon Church, had built a church of their own. Most of our ancestors attended the church in Helmar then called the North Prairie Church. In 1901, the present Helmar Lutheran Church was built. However, until recently the Helmar Lutheran Church (North Lisbon) and the West Lisbon Church (South Lisbon) were considered one congregation. Rev. Rasmussen served both churches in the area plus a few others while he lived in Lisbon. He also started other congregations in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
