Biography of George Pipras written by John Liepa:
"While he had been in Madison, he attended a social in the Normal School where cakes were served, along with complimentary speeches about the ball players. One of the servers was a teacher in the school, Eva Peterson, who caught Pipgras' eye and he asked to see her again. They were married in June of 1921, and by the time he had joined the Yankees, he was the father of a baby girl, Le Morn. Despite his disappointing two years with the Yankees, manager Miller Huggins was good in nurturing young players, and saw something in Pipgras’ raw talent and dedication to his craft that others did not."
Have not located a obiturary for Eva yet but will add when found.
