Description
Maude Zetta Burtner, née Truxal (1882-1962) was a graduate of Otterbein University in 1907. The daughter of Reverend J. P. and Sarah Truxal, she was born in Pennsylvania before coming to Westerville. After graduation she married Elmer E. Burtner in 1910, a minister for the United Brethren Church in Westerville.
