Her information is found on her husband's (John Harris) stone.

Conflicting burial information: She might be buried in the spot labeled 'unknown' next to him. From arizonagravestones.org where a picture of her headstone is posted: 'A Century in Central' page 148, states: Lovina was later re-buried by the side of her husband. And the stone in Central indicates that she is buried in Binghampton.The John Harris family, who arrived in Central sometime before March 1884, was another of the several families who came from Juab County, Utah, to Central. Other Juab County families who came to Central include Daniel Witbeck, Almon Marion Lambson (who may have known the Harris's also in Michigan), and Jacob G. Bigler, Jr.
John Harris was born 2 December 1808 in Green, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania and learned the trades of wheelwright and millwright. He also farmed. In 1831 when he was twenty-three years old, he married Lovina Eiler who was born in Dayton, Montgomery, Ohio. They settled in South Bend, Indiana and later moved to Michigan where they were no doubt converted to the LDS religion. They were both baptized in 1846. If their baptism occurred in Nauvoo, they had arrived only in time to join the westward migration.
They were in Council Bluffs in 1847 and by the spring of 1850 they were settled in Farmington, Davis County, Utah, but were soon called to colonize southern Utah and arrived in Beaver in 1852. Before leaving Salt Lake City, they went to the old Endowment House for their endowments.
John and Lovina Harris were the parents of ten children born in Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and Utah.
In 1883 or 1884 John and Lovina joined their son, Oliver and his wife Lodemia Sly, along with their daughter, Rebecca, with her three children, who had married William Reed Stockbridge Warren as his third wife. They left Levan for the Gila Valley where they settled in the new community of Central.
Not too long after their arrival in Central, Lovina died 7 September 1886 at age 79. How John spent the thirteen years after his wife's death is not known, but he went to California and was returning to Arizona when he died at age 91 near Tucson. His was the first burial in the Mormon town of Binghampton near Tucson. Lovina was later re-buried by the side of her husband.
