Her father's father was a Methodist circuit rider in Indiana in the early days. Her maternal grandfather was a U.S. Senator from Indiana.

Her parents came west in covered wagon and settled where the town of Fairbury, Nebr., now stands. While on a visit to Indiana, their settlement was raided by hostile Indians. Upon their return, they settled on the Little Blue River near Hanover, Kansas and here Eunice Victoria was born.

In 1907, they homesteaded 15 miles from Flagler, where they lived for ten years.

Mrs. Heid proved her kindness and neighborly ways by helping in homes where there was sickness and death. Her home was a gathering place for the neighborhood and especially for the young people of the community.

The family moved to the home near Flagler to educate their children and here the younger children were born. One son, Cecil Carlyle, preceded her in death in November 1936 and her husband passed away in June, 1939.

Mrs. Heid had suffered a long illness ever since last April, for a while with her daughter Eunice in Burlington, then in the Flagler hospital, later in a Denver hospital. She passed away at the home of Howard Keller in Denver. Her daughter and son-in-law did all in their power to make her comfortable until the end came. All of her children had been with her during the last few days of her life.

Funeral services were held in the Congregational Church of Flagler at 2:00 Friday afternoon, November 8. Rev. Clarence Macon read the scripture and offered prayer and Mrs. Millie Gibbs preached the sermon. Mrs. Helen Moss and Cecil Jackson sang.........
