The spelling of Havah is het-vav-heh, and I'm guessing that you are
misreading the second name slightly, and that it's tet-shin-vav-nun-heh,
namely Chunah. This follows the common patttern of a biblical Hebrew
name plus a Yiddish name.

I would suggest that you post the remaining 29 pictures to ViewMate,
which is the best way to get help with inscriptions.

2. On the tombstone of Eve C. Krauss, her name is given as
Chet-Vav-Het which I guess is Chavah and the second name is given as
Tet-Shin-Zayin-Gimel-Het. What would this second name be?

I also have photographs of 29 tombstones with Hebrew inscriptions
that still have problems. Some of these were partially translated;
some have not been translated at all. [snip!]
