Eva Lee "Evie" Collins

Notes:

After Eva's first husband Aron died, there was a big trial and she met Joseph Allen Chambers during that time. She resided primarily in the Houston area. Later in life she lived with Ferdinand and Bertha Partin, and then later still with George and Erma Partin, who "thought the world of her." George Partin was the information on her death certificate, and also paid for her burial, in an unmarked plot next to his and Erma's.

Notes:

Caryn Getsinger reports that he changed his name to Allen Lister so he could be called Allen in the Navy. He died aboard the USS Piedmont. He was married to an Ethel Brown(?), who left her baby with Pauline as she couldn't raise the child herself. The child, Betty Jane was raised by her Uncle James Johnson in West Park, New York.
