Eunice Idel Will, the daughter of William and Rennie Howard was born on September 1, 1905, at Lafayette in Macon County, Tennessee. She died after a one-day illness on Tuesday, July 10, 1956, having reached the age of 50 years, 10 months and 9 days.

She attended school in Lafayette and after a visit to Hartley she came to Iowa to be married near Melvin to Louie Emil Wilhelm Will on August 15, 1937. They lived on a farm south of Melvin for four years before moving to Hartley 16 years ago. No children came to bless this union.

Her many brothers and sister-in-law, nephews, nieces and friends join to mourn her passing.
