Life

Elma Irene Walden was born in Alabama on 14 July 1887, a date the FamilySearch tree gives without an attached source, a daughter of William Walker Walden and Emma Louise McKinney.1 The federal census of 1900 lists her as E. E. Walden in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of W. W. Walden in Coosa County, Alabama.2 On 4 October 1905 she married T. Marion Reaves, that is Tee Marion Reaves, in Coosa County.3 By 1910 the couple were living in the household of his father, James M. Reaves, in the Rome election precinct of Tallapoosa County, where the census of that year lists her as Elma I. Reaves, and on 16 August 1910 the Alabama birth register recorded a child of T. M. and Elma Reaves.4 The tree names five children: Julius Doster (1906–1928), James Walker (1910–1950), Martha Louise (1912–1989), Jane Estelle (1916–1996) and Marion Hamner Reaves (1922–1998).5 She is named as mother, under her maiden name, in the Virginia death certificate of her son Julius Doster Reaves in 1928, the Virginia marriage certificate of James W. Reaves in 1946, and the Social Security files of Marion Hamner Reaves and of Janie Reaves Butterworth.6 Elma Irene Walden Reaves died on 28 October 1922 and was buried in Camp Hill Cemetery, Camp Hill, Tallapoosa County; the tree records no place of death.7 Her husband later married her sister Vallie.8
