Virginian-Pilot, February 14 & 17, 1933
The mystery concerning the young woman found critically ill in a West Bute 
Street rooming house Sunday afternoon and who died early yesterday morning at 
the Municipal Hospital from pneumonia was partly dissipated when an 
investigation by the city coroner's office resulted in her identification as 
Elsie Carr, daughter of Mrs. R. McCosh, of 4808 Lake Park Avenue, Chicago.
Mrs. McCosh was notified of her daughter's death, and the local undertaking 
establishment which is holding the body was awaiting word from the mother last 
night as to funeral arrangements. The young woman apparently was in her 
thirties.
The reason for the visit of the young woman to Norfolk remains a question 
unsolved. Detective M. J. O'Connor, who handled the case, said he believed she 
was in Norfolk to see or communicate with someone at Fortress Monroe.
A boy at the rooming house told Detective O'Connor that when the woman first 
arrived at the house four days ago, she had asked him to go to the general 
delivery window at the Post Office and see if there was a letter for her there 
from Fortress Monroe. That same day she went to bed and said nothing more of 
the letter to the boy. The boy told Detective O'Connor that the letter had 
never arrived; that he had visited the Post Office daily since her arrival.

Funeral services for Mrs. Carr, who died Sunday morning at a local hospital, 
will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock at the grave in Elmwood Cemetery. 
The body is now at James V. Derry Funeral Home, 346 West Princess Anne Road.
