Death and Identity
In January 1962, Eunice Gray died in the fire which destroyed the "Waco Hotel" which she still owned and operated. Documents salvaged from the fire indicated that she had been born in 1884 and was then 77 years of age.
The documents found after the fire further showed that Gray's estate was valued at more than $90,000. There were no letters or communications to verify her family, her origin, or where she had lived between 1901 and 1909.
Donna Donnell's research many years later found that Eunice Gray's real name had been Ermine McEntire and that she had been born circa 1878. She is buried in Platte City Cemetery, Platte City, Platte County, Missouri.
