Birth
Date | 8 July 1900 |
Place | South Carolina |
Description | Birth of Velma Reeves |
Narrative
The death certificate for Velma lists no birth date, but does state that she was 19 years old.
This would put her date of birth at around 1904, however her grave marker has the date of birth
as 8 Jul 1900 making her at 22 years old. As with her date of death, I think this is because
Lela Reeves Bailey purchased many of her families grave markers some time after their death and burial
and may have remembered some of the dates incorrectly.
