At the time of her death, her father Bass Reeves had moved to Muskogee, OK and her mother, Jennie Reeves, had died in 1896.
On an 1880 census in Van Buren, AR (Crawford Co)Lula is listed as being 2 and birth year is approx. 1878. The age is probably wrong on the death record but the birth year on the official city record is stated as 1881 which is why I listed it that way here.
After cross referencing old records (which have the blocks numbered differently) and current records the Block that Jennie and her mother are in is Block 36. In looking at the cemetery register NT denotes No Tombstone. In the picture the little tombstone on the far right (belonging to Larena Robinson) is the only marker in that row. Lula Reeves is buried in that row to the left.
