Note: At one time there was the intention that Etta should be buried in Evergreen Cemetery, in Lot 2nd.223, and to that end there is a gravestone for her engraved with the birth year of 1906. There is no death year/date engraved on this gravestone, and no record of Etta being buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Neither her obituary here nor the one in the Greenville "Record-Argus" of May 24, 1993, notes a burial place for her, but a separate article on the same page of the Greenville paper notes that she was interred at Maple Grove Cemetery in Horseheads, NY.
