Dismissed research hint won't go away

This has happened before, but this time I'm saying something.

M M Harvey (PCGV-3C2) has a research hint that I've dismissed and yet it insists to be present. It refers to his mention in his wife's obituary. The indexing for that obit was terrible so I edited it to reflect what was actually in the record. Sadly, the hint still shows what was in the index before the edit and also refuses to be dismissed.

    @Michael J. Allen The hinting system was not registering that the hint had been fully processed and I suspect that it was because the name on the hint was "Mr" Mary Harvey. The attached record didn't match the hint, which came from a separate index (perhaps created previous to edits). I edited the record index to "Mr", dismissed the hint, and then changed the record back to Mrs.
