Harry's 1st wife, (married Oct. 25, 1899), was Dolly Mae (Shimer) Irwin, (1881-1907), also buried in Maplewood Cemetery. If not mistaken, the photo of her gravestone is of the same one as Harry's, but from a different side. After her death he married, (abt. 1907), Myrtle, (b. 1886), who might be identical to a Myrtle buried in this same cemetery. But this needs further checking [The 1910 census shows Harry and Myrtle as having been married for only 2 years. So a couple of trees at Ancestry.com which show his first wife as Dolly Myrtle, and have her dying after 1930, have confused these wives.]
