Description Burial of Eleanor Reeves

Narrative

Eleanor is presumably buried in the Geiger Ave. Cemetery as this cemetery was used for the
interment of white patients of the SC State Hospital from 1827 to 1954.

My Mother said that her Mother, Lela Reeves Bailey, Aunt to Eleanor, told her that James
and Lula, Eleanor's parents, did not find out about Eleanor's death for months after she had
died at the state hospital and had no money or means of transportation to go to Columbia
SC when they did find out.
