Harry Burnard Meldum was the twelfth child of Henry Meldrum. His mother Mary Elendar Knox was the second wife of Henry. Harry was born 20 Dec 1875 in Rigdon, Grant County, Indiana. He was a hard worker and always provided for his family. He traveled with his brother Samuel to Utah and stayed for a short time with his half brother George Rairsheid. While there he married Alice Jemina Cole the 25 Jun 1904 in Utah. He died 13 Apr 1931 in Palto Alto, California. The pictures of Harry and not good ones but the only ones I have found.
Alice Jemina Cole was a very pretty petite woman. Her daughter, Ruby says "mother was very tiny, wore a size 2 shoe and could not find gloves to fit. Mother's hair was black and very long. She was a very loving person". Both Harry and Alice were cremated. He was scattered under his daughters tree and Alice is in a crematorium in Palto Alto, California.
