Research Notes

Information on second wife is from Cassius Reeves's death certificate.

The following was included with a transcription of son Cassius's family Bible, but it's not clear if this is from the Bible itself:

Eden Reeves father of Cyrus and Cassius Reeves born Jan 24, 1775; died Dec 17, 1846; Phoebe Reeves, wife of Eden Reeves, died Jan 7th 1873. Cassius E. Reeves of Terre Haute, Indiana, married Jemiama A. Yeager of Terre Haute on 24 April 1873 at Terre Haute by James Hill Minister of the Gospel.
