Francis Idella Averill (Della Averill); Mother from Ohio, Father from France or French Canada?

I am looking for the lineage of Francis Idella Averill.

She married Joseph Calvin Souser in 1896 and went by "Della Souser". In the 1900 Census for Hamilton, Lee, Illinois she reported her mother was from Ohio (name unknown) and her father was from French Canada or France, or simply Canada.

I have her born December 1869. Currently I do not have any additional information than this and the obituary below. Looking for at least who her parents might have been.

I did find the following obituary for her:
"Souser: Mrs. Della Souser was born December 28, 1886 at Oregon, Illinois and died December 27, 1954 in Moline, Illinois. She loved her Lord and was a member of the Rock Falls church. She is survived by two sones and one daughter, eleven grand children, and eleven great grand children. She was laid to rest in the hope of the resurrection. O.W. Bacheller. Lake Union Herald; Official Organ of the Lake Union Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists. Barrien Springs, Michigan, February 8th, 1955. Vol XLVII Issue No. 6 Page. 7."
