    Note that it is reported that Ethel's mother Mathel has had 9 children and one has died.  This matches the gravestone indicating the date of death of Ethel in 1905.  She had three other soblings who also died as children, reported in a joint headstone with their parents in Chute Cemetery in Arkansas County.  However, a matching Ethel Poston, with birth in Illinois, and both parents born in Illinois, and reported age 45, is reported in 1930 as a widow.  Perhaps this is a wife of one of their sons?
