from my second cousin:
Robert Hurley Harrison was married twice. First to Leona Stewart, daughter of L M Steweart. Story is that she died shortly after 1900 after having four children with Robert Hurley. And her sister Mary Ann started looking after the young children for Robert Hurley after Leona's death. Mary Ann and Robert Hurley eventually marrying. Have not found a grave site for Leona but she is probably buried in the Washburn Prairie Cemetery in Barry County near Washburn, in an unmarked or unreadable headstone. There are many unreadable headstones in that cemetery.
The parents of L M Stewart are John and Mary Giles Stewart. I believe that the John Stewart buried in the Washburn Prairie Cemetery is L M's father. John Stewart's father is Othniel Stewart of Marshall County, TN. John is likely a veteran of the CSA during the Civil War.
