Etta was the 8th child of David and Mary Bortz Truby. She was married to Thomas J Kane about 1894. He was born Dec 5, 1864 and died Mar 14, 1927. They were both 30-ish when they married and I haven't found any children for them so I don't believe there were any children from this marriage. Thomas died from splenomedullary leukemia due to influenza and is buried at St Joseph Cemetery in Oil City. Etta died from diabetes melitose and myocardio degeneration. She is buried at Grove Hill Cemetery in Oil City. The two cemeteries are side by side.

Laura Truby was the 9th child of David and Mary Bortz Truby. She appears on the 1870 census as a 6 month old baby. The 1870 census was taken as of June 1, 1870 so she was most likely born near the very end of November, 1869 or possibly the very beginning of December. The grave marker shows that Laura was born in 1871 and died in 1873. Since she appears on the 1870 census obviously the 1871 birthdate is incorrect. I believe that she probably died in 1871 as a two year old. Since the marker was not erected until after Mary's death in 1900, I think that someone remembered 1871 and that Laura was two years old and therefore incorrectly put 1871-1873 on the marker.
