CERTAIN, DELLINGER, KNIGHT, MOORE

Hello researchers,
I've been trying to find out about my great-gfa's sister for over a year with no luck. So I'm going to try a different approach. Below are survivors listed in the obit of her 2nd husband.
The obituary is for Andrew Jackson (AJ) CERTAIN dated 1924 in Clyde, KS.
His wife, Mary Ann (McKellar, maiden name), MILLER (1st husband), CERTAIN
They had two children together: Elsie Janet Certain and Clyde Milton Certain.
Then the obit reads he leaves to mourn his widow and four children:
Mrs. Charles KNIGHT - Mankato, KS
Mrs. Fred LUCAS - Santa Monica, CA
Mrs. John H. DELLINGER - Salina, KS
Clyde Milton CERTAIN - Ottawa, KS
Evidently Elsie Janet is one of the above Mrs. but I'm not sure which one!!
Grandchildren: Mrs. and Mrs. R. E. MICK - Osborne,KS
Ila KNIGHT - Mankato
Bennie MOORE - Salina
Jack Gilmore CERTAIN - Ottawa
If anyone recognizes any names above, please let me know. I hope I can find out what happened to Mary Ann McKellar Miller Certain!!
Thanks.
