Linda,
Yes, I believe our Harry's are one in the same. I have searched this
Harris family pretty well and have found only one Ada Harris in Owen and
Clay counties. I have a copy of Ada's obituary and it states she had a son
named Herbert who lived in Spencer. Does he sound familiar? It says she
died in Patricksburg. She is buried in Beech Cemetery. Harry B. died 11 Sept
1944. His obituary is available on the web for ordering. The Wabash Valley
Obituary Index has it. Here is the site:

You will probably find other relations there.

Hello Carla, I would like to exchange some info with you on Ada and Harry B.
Summerlot. I believe your Harry is my Father's half brother. He was born
in the 1800's (not certain of the date right now.) My dad was born in 1927
(still living) and had a brother Harry who married an Ada Harris. Harry has
been dead for some years, being much older than my dad. My Grandfather was
60 when my dad was born. Harry's family lived in Clay County, IN. Please
let me know if you believe that Harry is my Harry too. His dad: John Henry
Summerlot and mother: Mary Steppler. Mary died young and Grandpa married my
Grandmother Maggie Everwine Willis. This was her second marriage also.
