Eva Abalena..Granddaughter..Nov 1897..2..WV
(Living with mother at her grandparents' house.)

NOTE - It appears that Arvanna along with her one daughter were living back with her parents in 1900. No document of a marriage between Arvanna Reynolds and Abalena has yet been found so it is assumed that the child was born out of wedlock. The surname of the father is only assumed to be Abalena and is taken from the name of the child, Emma. [Brian L. Lightfoot]
