She never used the name DORA, but went by EVA her whole life.
Eva was born in Jay Co Indiana near the Limberlost. She would also live in St. Mary's, Perry and Woodville Ohio. The mother of seven wonderful girls, she was a kind, loving and beautiful person inside and out. The blessing of old age was truly a gift to those who knew her and loved her. Holidays were especially wonderful at her home. She and her daughters were marvelous cooks and the food was always plentiful. She was a Methodist, in religion, and read the Bible every day. She had a quiet dignity and great love of family. She is greatly missed!
