Jan, I suspect that Maude FITZER age 16 is really Maude FETZER. I believe that she is the same woman who married Omar ETTERS, my relative, as Maude was from Clarence, which is in Snow Shoe Township. Here is Omar's obituary: His obituary in the CENTRE DEMOCRAT of 20 Sep 1956 reads: "Omar F. Etter, retired, who resided in Pitcairn, Pa., died at his home Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1956. He was 71 years of age. Mr. Etter, born in Pine Hall, Centre County, was the son of Reuben and Salena Carson. He was married to the former Maude Fetzer of Clarence who preceded him in death. Two brothers and one sister survive. They are Ralph of Williamsport, Harry of Snow Shoe and Mrs. Velda Gillen of Bellefonte and Largo, Fla. Funeral services will be held on Saturday with interment in Pitcairn." Pitcairn is in Allegheny County, near Pittsburgh. Omar's parents were really Reuben and Salena (Carson) Etters (with an "s.") Whether he dropped the "s" or the obit just misprinted I can't say. I am also a direct descendant of the FETZERs in Centre Co. (earliest one in line was Andrew FETZER, c1750-1804.) I don't know how Maude fits in, though. Whether she was Ellen's daughter to a prior husband OR whether Ellen had her out of wedlock with a Mr. _______ Fetzer I can't say. Hopefully this gives you some clues and if you learn any more about Maude or this elusive Mr. Fetzer, I would be most interested in knowing about it!
