According to a message left by Bud Fassett in the Elephant.se Guestbook:
"My grandfather used to take me to the Erie Zoo before he died in September 1950. Eva the elephant was there at that time. None of the information on the site fit with my experience. Ringling Eva did not arrive there until later and no other elephant fits that time frame."
