Harriet Plank, 61, of 69 Silverthorne Ave, Toronto, Canada, lived with her daughter Mrs. Bailey.  Harriet booked the Lusitania because she was on her way back to Lancaster, England to visit her son and two other daughters.  She came to Canada with her husband, son and two daughters circa 1913.

Her son, Hargreaves Plank, residing in England was a disabled naval seaman, and was the first violinist at Loew's Winter Garden.  He strongly advised his mother not to travel till the war was over. Mrs. Plank survived the sinking of the Lusitania, but she died 31 July 1915, not 3 Aug, when her obituary appeared.
