Freda
C. Morris was born on a farm near Hopkins, Mo., Aug. 26, 1911 to Jesse and Cora Goddsey Morris. She grew to womanhood and attended
schools at Sheridan,
Mo.,
Athelstan, Blockton and Sharpsburg, Iowa. Freda was
employed for one year prior to her marriage at the Glenwood State Institution.
She
was united in marriage to Teddy R. Boyer of the Blue Grove community on Feb. 27 1932, at the
Christian parsonage, Auburn, Nebr. The couple lived in the Sharpsburg community
except for 19 years which were spent in and near Windom, Minn.
Freda
was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Windom. Although she had not been an
active church member since moving back to Iowa in 1961, she never forgot her
prayers.
She
was preceded in death by her parents and-a sister-in-law, Ruth Morris.
She
leaves her husband, Teddy, brother George Morris, mother-in-law Mrs. Grace Boyer
of Bedford, five sisters-in-law, 4 brothers-in-law, 7 nieces, six nephews and a
host of other relatives and friends.
Freda
was a kind and loving wife, neighbor and friend, a beautiful housekeeper and
her kitchen was her palace. Seldom anyone would ever leave her table without
remarking about her wonderful, tasty food. She always enjoyed company and
making new friends, expressing many times her love for neighbors, friends and
relatives
both
in Minnesota and Iowa. She also expressed a kind feeling and loving forgiveness
for all she knew.
During
the summer of 1968, she was stricken with multiple myeloma.
After
a long struggle and help from her good doctors and nurses in University
Hospitals at Iowa City, she grew better. Last spring, after realizing she probably
didn't have too much longer to live, Freda gave herself for research, in order
that someone else might be helped and perhaps get some help for herself. She
was flown by the United States government to the National Health Institute,
Bethesda, Maryland, escorted by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles Rupert. After
nine
days
of research, she grew better and enjoyed two and one half months. In August,
Freda went back to University Hospitals for treatment. Since that time she
gradually became worse.
When
the good doctors and kind nurses could do no more, she was brought home to be
cared for by her husband, relatives, neighbors and friends. Freda was given
special care by doctors in Lenox, Creston, Iowa City and Bethesda, Maryland and
the people at home. When loving hands could do no more, she passed quietly away
at the Rosary hospital,
