Eunice married the late John Halcomb on September 22, 1951, and they lived in Rankin, IL., before relocating to Armstrong and ultimately to Mahomet/Fisher, IL. Eunice was a homemaker and farm wife, which required numerous talents. She and John worked hard together and enjoyed life. Eunice and John enjoyed attending auctions where they could add to their extensive collections, and enjoyed the company of their friends attending the auctions. Attending her beloved garage sales also enabled Eunice to find items at each and every one.
