Widow Harris has buried a daughter and son from diphtheria.
Transcriber's note: The only 'Widow Harris' living in Webster Township in the 1880 census was 'Mary E. Harrison', widow of John E. Harrison. She did indeed lose a son and a daughter in the spring of 1880, both buried in the Wight Cemetery.
The son's name was 'George W.' but this 'obit' was published two weeks before he died (d. 07 May) per his headstone.
Despite the seeming discrepancies, the deceased is likely to be George W. Harrison.
