Another scrap on information I have on James Milton Reeves' family may have some relevance to this discussion. One of JMR's male children was born deaf and was eventually sent to a school for the deaf located at Cave Springs, GA. I have his name buried somewhere in my files, but it would take some searching to find it. I wonder if this could be the James Reeves who died in Cave Springs in 1920? Can someone point me to an online source that has his death certificate? I've wondered whatever happened to this child.
