Harris-506 and Harris-493 appear to represent the same person because: The wives, Susan Caroline and Carolyn Dora are being merged together.

I can not find a Henry P Harris at this cemetery but I do see a Ralph P Harris with the exact same birth and death dates. From what I could find, it looks like this is his father, Gideon G Harris (1808-), but source records list "Ralph Henry Harris" with the same birth and death dates as Ralph P Harris. Perhaps the tombstone is incorrect. It happens a lot. :)

Wife's birth is 1852; so his would be in the same range.
