HeritageQuest indexes her as:
MCKEAN MOOSE M 24 F W PA
PA CLEARFIELD HOUTZDALE BORO 1900
(it's at the bottom of the page)
I have two questions: what IS her name really? and what's
the surname of the HoH who is her stepfather?
HQ's image is blurry and even after I magnified it, I
couldn't read it.
2nd opinions welcome.

Thanks, John. Odd ... HQ showed Bartha as Martha, which is
who I was seeking; that person's details match my Martha,

Looking at the image, Martha is correct, not Bartha. And Ellen/Ella doesn't
seem too much of a stretch as an enumerator error or even a nickname.
