I'm looking for info on my grandma's older sister, Anna Duch. Allegedly she was a "torch singer" who sang under the name Myra Harms. Born about 1915 in Chicago. She left home at about 19 years old never to be seen again.

I got two results from Google for 1935 issues of the Times from Hammond, Indiana that mention Myra Harms singing at a club in Whiting. Good luck with your search!
