Eva Bitha GRAY was born on 17 Jul 1891 in Caddo, Stephans Co., TX. She appeared in the census in 1930 in District 59, Del Rey, Maricopa County, Arizona. She died on 25 Jul 1986 in San Luis Obispo, CA. She was buried in Arroyo Grande Cemetery, Arroyo Grande, California. She was a housewife.
lived Grover City, CA since 1954. Eva was entirely white haired since the age of 20 years. She stood 6' or more. She often said "a man retires but a woman never does". I met her when I was 20 and had never met a person who had used snuff before, let alone a woman. As I grew up in the Mid West, I knew a lot of farmers having come from a family of farmers, but the southern plantation farmers were a different breed of people. I am sure they were well represented in Will and Eva. Having not lived near them I only really barely got to know them. Note from Shirley WHISENAND McNEELY daughter in law.
