It appears Maude married Alfred E Chitty in June/July of 1903. It also appears this Alfred E Chitty was nothing but trouble as far as the law.

Thank you so much for the replies.  I wanted to start researching the children and this info is so helpful.  I am going to put all the info I have together, but I am sure I will have a lot more questions...thank you again...

Thanks for your lovely messages - 

Some of the lines seem to have died out without any offspring unfortunately.

Still haven't found Eliza Griffin - last sighting 1891 Canadian census - probably married but hiding 

There would also be the daughter of Annie Newstrom mentioned in her death notice - there was a birth in Aitken Minnesota - 6 November 1901 - Newstrom - Griffiths (not exactly the right surname but could it be a transcription error)  Sadly the obit does not give a name of the daughter but the birth date should help locate her.

As per the obit for Annie (Griffin) Newstrom I posted, she & her husband Andrew had a daughter Irene Annie in 1901. She married twice and died in Florida in 1996.
