I believe ��Huerta” is a transcription  error for Hunter;
these children being from Lillian’s m/1. The Hunt er children  are
from William’s m/1

================================================

Springhill’s Moss Journal:

Canning, William A. Sr. (Mrs.) May 14, 1959 January 1, 1877 82  y Kennedy ,
Minnie M. LM? d/ o Wm. & Fanny; m.  July 12, 1887

[She’d be  age 10 getting  married????]

I believe there��s an error here  and should be Lillian Austin;
Minnie Kennedy, William's m/1, died 1916. Wil liam  Canning was married to
a Lillian when he died in 1946. Someone confused m/1 ,  Minnie with m/2,
Lillian.
