She is buried in Plot: Block Section 134 Lot 3.   [Researcher Note: The gravestone is etched with the year of birth as 1864; however, I believe that to be an error. The death records list her as 75, which would make her birth year either 1868/69. The 1900 census lists her birth as August 1869. It also cites 1891 as the year of her marriage. Evidently Eva was married previously to a Mr. Ward as she has two children in the 1900 census with the last name of Ward.]
