According to George W Harris' birth certificate he was born Jan 26 1861 Belleville Illinios and died Sept 21 1960 Kenoma Barton Co Mo. His father was William Harris and mother was Eliza Johnson, Lydia Meffert was his wife. He is buried in the Lake Cemetery Lamar Missouri. His burial was Sept 26 1960. The was also a W.S Harris b. Jan 3 1873 in Preble Co OH. His father is listed as G.W. Harris and mother Sara Offield both born in OHIO. W.S. died Nov 6th 1924 in Barton Co and buried Lake Cemetery. There is also a William Riley Harris b. Apr 30 1856 Bellevile Illinios, died Jan 7 1931 Barton Co Mo. Father William Isaac Harris birth place Fredriekstown Missouri and mother Elyira (This is just a guess as to the spelling of her given name) Johnson, born Belleville Illinios. This william is also buried in the Lake Cemetery. I fouind Lidia's death certificate and she was born July 31 1865, Ashley Illinios, died Jan 6 1957, Lamar Barton MO. Her father was Finis Meffert and her mother was Katherine Henley. She is also buried in the Lake cemetery. There is also a G.W. Harris born Jul 1 1839, died Apr 16 1917,. Sarah Harris is shown as his wife b. Mar 4 1845, d. Sep 11 1922. I could not find death certificates for this G.W. Harris and his wife Sarah but they should be there if they died in Missouri. Could they have been brought there from out of state and buried?
