Source notes
- Judy Etzel King gives her great-grandmother's name as Emma Lena Pfaff. The gravestone has Emma C. Pfaff, which is likely in error. "LEna" can sound like "C" if you are a poor listener.
- The only source for death date & spouse of John A. Etzel is the gravestone found at Knox Cemetery, Clarion Co. PA
