- Poul Serena-Rasmussen wrote the following information about his grandparents:
As a young man my grandfather, Niels Rasmussen, was a farmhand at an estate near Fr?slev. He later went to K?benhavn, and from an official letter dated August 4, 1887 we see he was granted a license to sell Aquavit in Amager (a suburb south-east of K?benhavn). It has the limitation that he can sell aquavit, but not in amounts less than a quarter of a litre; it also stipulated that he could not provide Aquavit to his restaurant patrons while they were seated at their meals. This license was cancelled on October 10, 1891.
We know that Niels Rasmussen worked, from 1892 until 1896, as a factory canteen manager in Amager, south of K?benhavn. From a letter-of-reference dated November 1, 1896, we see that he left that job because of a dispute in which he refused to agree to guarantee payment of 2% of profits against theft and loss of inventory. Eventually he and his wife had several canteens of their own. One of them was in the basement of a building on Vendersgade, where there was a small garden courtyard in which they could serve people. Poul Serena writes that he visited them often as a child, that they were nice people: she was good-humoured and he could be stubborn. Niels Rasmussen took on the surname Everfeldt in 1912, however none of his children adopted this surname for themselves.
As they grew older they grew tired of the restaurant business, so their son Christen Peter Rasmussen, as he had become a successful businessman, bought them an acreage on the island of Thur?, near Svendborg Sound - this was after World War I. Later, they moved to a more modern home near Lundeg?rd, 15 km from Odense on the island of Fyn. There they had a black horse named Snip and a small boat moored on the Odense River. Finally in their advanced old age they moved to K?benhavn, where they lived in a small apartment in the backyard of their daughter Yelva and her husband - who was a jeweller in a store on Bredgade. Poul Serena also relates that Niels Rasmussen Everfelt wore two small gold hoops in his ears, as he believed that doing so improved ones vision.
In the following excerpts from the 1870 census of Pr?st? county, Niels Rasmussen (Everfeldt), aged 17, and his future wife Caroline Magdalene Madsen, aged 15, can be found working (Niels as a farmhand, and Caroline as a domestic servant) in their respective home parishes. Niels and Caroline were later married in Fr?slev on October 9, 1875; there marriage record names his father as Rasmus Nielsen of Fr?slev, and her father as Christen Madsen, a shoemaker in Sk?rpinge.
