I found one divorce.

While he was in prison one of his wives was living in New York City A Mrs. E. R. Stone, 365 W 23rd St, NYC. Which might have been an apartment building and is now a medical clinic.

Harry was a Civil Engineer and a clever cartoonist. Why in the world would he get mixed up in counterfeiting? I suppose his engineer skills came in handy making the device for the counterfeiting.   

Harry died 5 May 1939 in Cambria, MI
