Mary was the daughter of Elisha Shelton Harrison and Edith Irwin. The dates of her birth and death are from the funeral home record. The dates given in the History in Headstones book are wrong - they are wrong on the grave marker as well.

Mary married Weymouth Donald Adamson, 27 Jul 1912, Crawford County, Arkansas. According to the funeral home record, she was separated from her husband at the time of her death. Charles Friddle, brother-in-law, married to her twin sister Margaret, paid the funeral expenses.

A copy of her obituary, probably from the local newspaper, The Press Argus, was filed with the funeral home record. Several of the names were wrong - corrections in italics.
