Read More	Several bits of information in Elvira's obituary are slightly incorrect: It says she was 87 years old, but most sources suggest she was actually born in 1815, which would make her 86 at the time of her death. It says she died at the home of her son, A. L.--he was actually Alonzo Harris, so A.H. Medbery. However, she was living with Alonzo before her death, so that part is correct. The other person mentioned--Don G. Medbery--was actually her grandson. He was the son of William Chester Medbery, who was her other son and who was still alive at the time of her death--someone must have muddled the information somewhere along the way. Alonzo and William are Elivra's only two known children. The 1900 census said she had 2 of 2 children living. There would probably have been a more extensive obituary in the Huron, SD newspaper, but the relevant issue seems to no longer exist.
