Johan Rasmussen: Second child of Rasmus Johansen

Death, Gullev parish register, page 174. Johan Rasmussen passes away on June 2, 1849. He never married. I found him in the 1834 census in Vellev living with a family as a service boy. He was 16 years old. In the 1840 census he was in Hvorslev and was a service boy, 23 years old. In the 1845 Gullev census he is a blacksmith apprentice in Bogeskov which is the same town that his mother lived in with his stepfather. She died around this same time as well.
