Death not only kills the three men, but he removes them from from existence such that they disappear from photographs, and people forget that they ever existed.

Note Lovella is referred to as “Mrs. Lovella Kimball” by a man delivering a telegram. This can’t be Harry’s last name because it refers to the death of Jasper Kimball, her uncle, so it has to be her maiden name.

The Greenies

Robert Gordon has to carry Earth, shrunk to fit in the palm of his hand, from the future back to 1700 to prevent a time paradox, but he is clumsy and drops it on Miami Beach. The last to panels show Earth starting to be wiped away, so this isn’t Earth-616.
