    W. C. Harkey, born October, 1859, in Georgia, employed as a drummier, residing with his second wife, Edith H., and his three children.
    Note: the information provided the census was likely provided by his second wife, Edith, and is contradicted by the reporting to the census by his eldest son Robert, who consistently reported the place of birth of his parents as South Carolina.
