Note: Buried in Lot 2nd.072 with wife Nellie who died in 1983. Initially there was some speculation about this Harold divorcing in 1937 and marrying a second time; this has been proven incorrect. Harold and Nellie had son Harold Jr. who married Marjorie Langner in 1934 and she divorced him in 1937.
