Elna "Eleanor" Frandsen (b. 1880) worked as a domestic servant for the Charles G. Bolte family in Winnetka, IL, about sixteen miles north of Chicago.  She attended the theater with her employer's family, as a companion to the thirteen-year-old daughter, Linda Bolte, who also perished. Elna's body was discovered at Postlewait's Undertaking and identified by George Rasmussen.

Elna's funeral was in the Danish Lutheran Church on January 5, 1904.  She was buried in the Atlantic Cemetery in Atlantic, Iowa.  Several fraternal organizations and other groups raised money to assist families with burial expenses.  The Illinois Club covered transportation of Elna's body to Iowa and raised $250 to help with burial expenses.  Her employer donated $20 and George Rasmussen donated $10.

Elna's mother, Ane Marie (Hansen) Frandsen, lived with Elna's sister, Henriette (Frandsen) Kjar, in Atlantic, Iowa.
