Hi
Melinda Davis is the mother of the deaf/dumb children, and Ellen 1869, I suspect she is a great Aunt to Florence MASON.....need to see what was recorder on her birth and marriage certs to attempt to untangle this one. And then we may have two sources in agreement if you you are lucky !

Update

NOah MASON 1838 is her Grandfather

she gives her father as a George MASON witnesses Jotham and Brenda MASON which make Melinda her "mother in Law" had they married , however my George candidate dies before he could father Florence

so is the George MASON father an older man - there are a couple of candidates nearby or was the dead George MASON a convenient scapegoat to cover up the pregnancy ?

groom and both fathers given as Colliers ( i.e. all living as deceased is the normal entry otherwise) again George could be a phantom !
