Does anyone know if Robert W. I. George and W. I. George are the same person?

This is what I have:

Mrs. W. I. George
Special to the Tribune
Wilmore, June 15--The funeral of Mrs. Emma George, wife of W. I. George, who died yesterday of lung trouble, will take place from the United Brethren church here, Wednesday morning, with Interment in the Union Cemetery. Mrs. George, who had been ill 18 weeks, was 44 years of age and a native of this section. She is survived by her husband and 3 children, Walter, Nellie and Cleod, all at home. Her surviving brothers and sisters are Fred, George and Samuel Rorabaugh, of Altoona. William Rorabaugh and Mrs. Harry Bauers of Wilmore and one sister whose home is in Bridgeport, Conn.
---------------------
Robert W. I. George is the step son of George D. Pringle and his mother Lydia (Paul) George Pringle. His dad Adam George died in Andersonville Prison. I have found this cemetery listing for a W. I. George. It is the same graveyard that George D. Pringle is buried in. I think Lydia may be there without a stone. I could not find any obituary listed for W.I. George. I did find one for Emma George. But her obituary says she is buried in Union Cemetery. There is an obituary listed for Myra, but I have not looked it up yet.

Any help would be super.
