Hallie died shortly after the birth of her son, Miller Blue. She was my great-grandmother through her daughter, Mattie Lee Blue Baxley, my paternal grandmother.

Christened in St. John's Episcopal Church. Reference: church records. (Unverified)

Religion: Freewill Baptist

Buried in Calhoun Co., Fla. Traveler's Rest Cemetery (may also be known as the Hanlee's Rest), located at Freewill Baptist Church. Stone on her grave was purchased by Mattie & Nell Blue for $50. Death discrepancy. Some records show 13 DEC 1921 others show 14 NOV 1921. Mattie Lee Blue Baxley, her eldest daughter, remembers she was buried 15 DEC 1921.

Just after Miller's death she died as a result of convulsions. Her death certificate does not state cause of death, but it was presumably from complications from the birth. The family bible indicates that her death was December 13, 1921, which the Bible also indicates as Miller's birth date. Her death certificate indicates she died November 14, 1921. Also, Miller's birth certificate indicates he was born November 14, 1921. Interestingly, he was never able to get a copy of his own birth certificate and therefore always celebrated his birthday on December 13, 1921.
