Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 24 November 1899
Hallie Pearl Reeves, the youngest daughter of Mary A. Reeves, living three miles south of New Market, was born Oct. 5, 1881, and died Nov. 19, 1899, at 8 o’clock a.m. She had been an invalid for almost two years, and for a year previous to her death was blind. She united with the Presbyterian Church last June and was a true believer in her Savior the remainder of her life. She was willing to go to rest and left a wish for all of her friends to live a better life and follow her. Her father died seventeen years ago and she was the youngest of eleven children. W. M. Reeves, of the city, is the oldest.
The funeral took place at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the M. E. Church at New Market. Rev. Buchanan, of the Ladoga Presbyterian Church, officiated. Her body was laid to rest at Indian Creek Hill Cemetery, west of New Market. The funeral was under the auspices of the K. of P. lodge at that place, to which four of her brothers belong.
Her life was a beautiful example of Christian patience under the pain of suffering and the blight of disease and her memory will long live as an inspiration to those she leaves behind.
The bereaved family desires to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the New Market lodge K. of P.

Hallie Pearl Reeves was born Oct. 5, 1881, and departed this life on Sunday morning, Nov. 19, 1899, just as the sun’s bright rays lighted up this world in glowing splendor. She had been an invalid for two years and had suffered untold misery, being deprived of one of the greatest blessings of this life for almost a year, that of her eyesight. She united with the Presbyterian Church in June under the ministry of Rev. Buchanan, of Ladoga, and remained firm and steadfast in her faith in her Savior from then until the time of her death, often expressing a wish to be nestled on His bosom. Her pleasant manner and kind words when in health had gained for her a large circle of friends who are left sad and broken hearted, but wish her not back to this low ground of sin and sorrow, for they can safely say she is basking in the smiles of her blessed Redeemer, who she so longed to see.
Six of her most intimate friends as follow, were selected for pallbearers: Misses Eva Doyel, of Brown’s Valley, and Verna Noble, Gertie Hampton, May Clark, Eva Brush and Amelia Hampton, of this place. - s
