    The person who filled out Harmon's death certificate got confused, because he reported Harmon's wife Cora as his mother.  His mother's name does not appear on the certificate.  Ancestry confused things even more on their index transcription, reporting Harmon's wife as Oscar, the name on the certificate of the informant, who we think was Harmon's brother.
