Funeral services were February 24, at Bethany Lutheran Church, rural Grantsburg. Eunice was born in Dent, Minnesota on December 15, 1907 on the family farm, the second daughter of Theodore and Johanna Clementson Kanne. When she was 12 years old, the family moved to Grantsburg where she attended Grettum School for her eight year and Grantsburg High School for four
    years, walking five miles her freshman year. She graduated in 1926, qualified to teach rural schools. She spent five years teaching at Grettum and Trade Lake No. 3 both rural schools. After attending River Falls College in 1931-32, she spent eight years teaching the grammer grades at Branstad Graded School. Next came two and one half years teaching a Chippewa Falls, Wis. During World War II from 1942-46, Eunice taught radio mechanics to Air Force personnel at Truax Field. After one year at Robbinsdale, Minn., came a move to Waukegan, Illinois. From 1948-72, she taught first grade there with the exception of a leave of absence in 1955-56 when she went to Mannheim, Germany to teach children of the Army of Occupation. Eunice was always interested in furthering her education. She completed the River Falls, two year course and went on to earn a BS degree from the University of Minnesota and MS from Northwestern University at Evanston, IL. Most credits were earned in summer and evening classes. It was during the yrar in Germany that she developed her love of travel. Every weekend was spent in a new part of Europe, going as far north as above the Arctic Circle and south up the Nile River in Africa, and she visited the Holy Land during the Christmas holidays. After a 45 year teaching career, Eunice retired to her lake home at Wood Lake in Grantsburg. Finding time to spare, she spent seven additional years teaching at Grace Nursery School. She also became interested in researching local history. This resulted in two books, Pieces of the Past and Were They Really the Good Old Days. She also wrote a small book about Grantsburg's Big Gust. Haveing a good memory of the things in the early 1900's she recorded memories of by-gone days the she shared with a Grantsburg seventh grade class who produced a book entitled Memories of the 20th Century. The years were also filled with cruises and tours, over 20 of them visiting six of the seven continents. These included five trips to North Norway where she visited relatives, where her maternal family members and many Grantsburg early settlers came from Eunice was inspired to writh a fifth book, From Far North Norway. Tapping into that good memory of the early days of her long life, she wrote a weekly column, "Strolling Through the Past" for the local newspaper and which she shared with the talks at the Continuing Care Center on regular visits, until becoming a resident herself in 2009. Eunice was a long-time and very active member of Bethany Lutheran Church. She was a generous woman of deep faith who supported many missionaries and other causes. She is survived by a sister in law, Svea Kanne, many nieces and nephews, and grand nieces and grand nephews.
