"Surviving are two sons, Frank and Charles Harbour of Chico and two daughters, Mrs. Emily Comstock of Richvale and Mrs. May Sevey of Sacramento, and eleven grandchildren. "Funeral services are in charge of the Westfall parlors and will be arranged upon arrival of the daughters from Sacramento." ~~~ "As regards William Herbert Harbour, his death date of 1907 as taken from his headstone at the Honcut Cemetery is incorrect. He actually died in September of 1904 according to his Military Pension Records and newspaper accounts of the day. His wife Mary actually died in 1924, according to her death certificate. How the headstones were mislabeled is an interesting story. William and Mary's daughter, Emily Comstock visited their graves once or twice every year to keep the area clean and place flowers there. Her children would accompany her and later, her grandchildren. Until her death in 1951 there were no headstones on the graves. Not long after her death her adult children decided to rectify that situation and purchase the headstones. Unfortunately they could not remember, or agree upon, the proper dates. Having been present at some of my grandfathers "discussions" with his sister and brothers over what happened to whom and when and where it happened, I can imagine there was quite a "row". Upshot of it was, they remembered somebody important died in 1907 (maybe grandpa Harbour?) and they knew their grandmother had lived for 20 years after the death of their grandfather. Thus the wrong dates were literally carved in stone, but God bless them for caring enough to place the marker there at all." Contributed By Adriana
