To try and help fill in gaps on some one found murdered in Indiana in 1916, letters on him were addressed by a Eva no last name at 1426 Quincy. also the person who was the informant on the death certificate in Indiana was a Mrs. M.E or M.S. Bass at the same address. The coroner's report said they first thought that Eva was his wife, then said maybe she was his fiancée. would anyone have any ideas on how to find anything out.
