The following obituary mentions Mrs. Henry Turner, neice of either George Harkness or Isabell (Douglass) Harkness. Related names are Miss Anna Turner and Hoyt Turner. Can anyone help with who these folks are and delineate the relationship? Thanks

Mrs. Henry Turner has received word of the death of her aunt, Mrs. [Isabelle (Douglass)] George Harkness, which occurred at Paris, Ill., Monday, following an apoplectic stroke on the previous Friday. The body will be accompanied to Newton arriving Friday afternoon, and the funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at the Sprinker chapel at 2 o’clock. Rev. A. H. Morrison will officiate.
