Elizabeth died four hours after giving childbirth, and the little baby (later named James) died on October 23, 1912. The remarriage of James Harper gets confusing due to what appear to be errors in his obituary compared with Jefferson county marriage records, and subsequent notations by other Harper family researchers. Which isn't to say that the other sources were not incorrect and the obituary for James Harper was correct. Trying to reconcile obituary statements with official records can be tricky. According to Jefferson county marriage records James Frederick Harper married a "Elizabeth Crandall" on November 15, 1921. James' obituary stated that he married an "Elizabeth Crandell" in 1931. Subsequent notations found in an Evergreen cemetery transcription used "Lankford" for another married name for Elizabeth, stating that she died in January 1970. That notation indicated that her prior married name to that was "Stinespring". So it is possible that she was married several times. Where she is buried isn't indicated in the notations, however. ------------- Fairfield Ia. Ledger Wed. January 25, 1961 Pg. 8 James HARPER Rites Friday James R.
