Find A Grave contributor James Turner Harris has made a suggestion to you (8-20-13) regarding your Find A Grave memorial for Garland Hurt.

Garland and Jane Ball Hurt had a son, William Hurt, Find A Grave Memorial# 48873744 - who is buried in Boise, Ida. Ada Co. Dry Creek Cemetery along with his wife Ellen Cox Hurt Find A Grave Memorial# 48873885.

NOTE: I believe this may be a different William since the birth and death dates don't match the ancestral file...would need more proof.
