Information from Mitchell Musgrove, Combine,TX, mitchellwm350@att.net, 07/30/2013: This is Harry, my grandfather's twin who died as an infant. The name should be Harry Eugene Turner. Harry was born in 01/31/1911(from birth certificate). He did die 06/08/1911 at the age of 4 months.The sexton records do indicate the burials. Harry and his brother George (1908-1912) are buried in the same plot near the grave of Hugh Elkin Turner in block G.For some unknown reason Harry Turner was only listed on the death certificate (and Fry-Gibbs info) as infant of Charles Turner.But his name was actually Harry Eugene Turner. I called Evergreen a couple of days ago and talked to Jim who verified the location of the gravesite.I confirmed all this with my mother who is Hugh Turners daughter.
