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.
