"Mrs. Floyd Morosic's Passing Most Pathetic. Funeral Yesterday Afternoon Was Largely Attended by Sympathizing friends.
"In all human experience for the tenderness of pathos and sternness of tragedy few grip the heart and sympathy with greater power than the saddening circumstances attending the passing of Mrs. Floyd Morosic, last Thursday night, at the home of her parents in our city at 11 o'clock. It all was a startling and depressing surprise to a host of friends in city and country.
"The facts of the funeral held at the home of her parents Sunday afternoon indicate as far as it is humanly possible the appeal the sad affair has made upon the sympathies of the people: There was a large attendance, the flowers were superb in beauty and lavish in quantity, and nothing was lacking to soften the burden of sorrow.
"Eunice Ford Morosic was born in McCook, March 12, 1896, and passed away in this city, at the home of her parents Engineer and Mrs. Ellis Ford, July 11, 1918.
