DEATHS
HARRIS.-On September 14, at Wangaratta, Margaret, beloved wife of George (deceased), loving mother of George (A.I.F., deceased); also Frederick and Alfred (deceased), Margaret, Daisy (Mrs. G. Williams), David, and William, aged 68 years.

So far I can't find a notice in Trove for George.

Searching "George (A.I.F." only finds Margaret and other families. Searching Harris AND wangaratta gets over 100 hits.
