Source notes

• Conrad Etzel's 2nd wife Sarah reported 9 children born to her, 8 living in 1910. There are nine children's names listed between the 1900 & 1910 census if we count Simeon, living between the homes of Conrad & Sarah Etzel and that of Conrad's mother, Mary E. Etzel. Of these 9, 7 appear in the 1910 census, all but Frank (b. ~1888) and Myrtal (b. Aprl 1890). There are several possibilities. 1) That either Frank or Myrtal are married or working away from home, and that the other died. 2) That both Frank and Mrytal survived, Simeon is not a son of this family, and another child was born and died between census, possibly Eddie Etzel b. & d. in 1897, buried Lieberum/Frederick Cemetery with other Etzel graves.

Conjecture

• Lieberum Cemetery, Ashland Twp., Clarion Co. PA was once associated with a church that no longer stands(St. John's Reformed?).
