Wife: Grace Mae Stewart
Daughters: Ruby, Violet and Daisy Harris. (perhaps one more I've not found)

From Ancestry:
" Myron was a house mover back in Iowa where he was born. He used a dray of horses, which were a bunch of them. Not sure if he was actually moving the house or the contents. Wouldn't think he would need that many horses if just moving contents. Don't know when he arrived in Oregon, but reportedly by ox train to the Dalles, Oregon. Ruby says he was a trail maker for the government while they were living in Shelton, Washington. This was around 1938. Another source has him working for the railroad here in Washinton state. He died at the age of 81 in a hotel room in downtown Tacoma, close to where daughter Ruby was living at the time. He was buried at Oakbrook Cemetery here in Tacoma, Washington on the 15 of July, 1958."

Cannot find an Oakbrook Cemetery in Tacoma. Am trying Oakwood Hill until a different discovery is made.
