________________________________________________________
Corrections: In the coping and posting of this obituary the misspelling of Harriet's first married name of Worcester was written as Wooster just as the name is pronounced. It was corrected. Her second husband was Charles Frances Hamilton known as Frank. The middle initial of H. in his name is another mistake. He is buried under the name of Frank Hamilton.
