Notes for Harlen Cicero Lewis
The Ohio deaths database lists Harlen Lewis, age 61, born 21 Aug 1869 in Blaze, Kentucky, died 2 Feb 1931 in Sullivan, Ford Co., Illinois, farmer, son of W. M. Lewis and Nellie Lewis, both born in Kentucky, married, husband of Ellen Lewis.

Since he does not appear in the 1870 census, and he appears as age 9 in the 1880 census, and age 19 born Aug 1870 in the 1900 census, the birth year is off by one in this death record.

Be careful not to confuse him with Harlan H. Lewis, born Sep 1871, son of Dial Lewis and Mary Sargent.
Notes for Helen Elizabeth “Ella” Blair
She appears in the 1880 census as Lizzie age 7 months born in October, but in nearly all later records as Ella.
