Eunice McBroom

McBroom, Eunice, passed away on Thursday, October 29, 2009, after a very short illness. Eunice was born July 16, 1921 to John and Katherine (Meier) Luerman on their family farm near Dubuque, Kansas. Eunice worked at the Russell (KS) Public Library from 1963 to 1994, and she still remembered the many children who visited the library over the years. She was an avid collector of many things. Before losing her eye sight, she enjoyed reading and crocheting and was very proud of the purple ribbon she had won at the Kansas State Fair for her crochet work. Eunice loved all card games, but bridge was her game of choice. She often said she was born with a deck of cards in her hand.
