Harriet and George had no children of their own, but enjoyed their extended family. George died in 1898, Harriet in 1911. Both are buried in the West Ella Highland Cemetery.

For the genealogist, Harriet's probate has provided a wealth of information, because she left the
bulk of her estate to the heirs of her brothers and sisters, whom her executor duly tracked down,
and all their names were then recorded in the probate file.
