I am seeking an obituary for my Gt Grandfather's sister Eliza Walker Harris, wife of William Harris.
According to information I have, Eliza Jane Walker was born in Ohio in 1842. She moved with her parents to DeWitt Co, Illinois where I found her on the 1850 census. In the mid 1850's she moved with other family members to Mahaska Co. Iowa and there married William Harris in 1862. William was a Civil War veteran and they moved to Union Co. Iowa by 1880. William & Eliza and their children are found in Union Co on the 1880, 1900, 1910 & 1920 census. A burial record for Eliza was found for Greenlawn Cemetery Afton Iowa for 1924. A record for William is dated 1931.
According to the census William was living with a daughter & son-in-law Eva and Edward Younkin in 1930 in Lorimor.
