Eva May Gragg-Edingburg was born 1901 in Georgia I don't know where in Georgia, died: January 10, 1935, Chattanooga, TN.
Eva was brutally murdered by a woman named Gladys Carter in Eva's home in Chattanooga.
The Death record states pistol wound and homicide.
The death certificate shows not only shot wounds to the chest but also multiple stab wounds.
So far no one has been able to locate any information as to what happened to Gladys Carter.
We would like to know:
1- Did Gladys go to trial?
2- Was Gladys sent to prison?
3- What was the reason she murdered Eva?
All we know is what's listed here in the post.
