Though it was long held by many in the family that Harry married his first wife in Meigs County Ohio in about 1859, we now know that there is a marriage record for them dated April 7, 1859 in Henry County, Iowa. By the birth of first child Emma (January 28, 1860), they are said to have been living at Wapello County, Iowa.
The italics below show information about Harry and his second wife. That information was left by the memorial's creator and seems to be accurate. However some sources tell us that Harry and Luella were not married until March 22, 1877. We know of no children born to Harry and Luella prior to 1879 (however some may be unknown).
