I found the baptism at the Etna Church [Etna, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA], and thought you might like the translation. It was on page 79 of the first record book.

Parents - Heinrich Dietrich of Hitzerode, Cur-Hessen
Godparents - the parents

Helena married Alonzo Potter in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on Oct 16, 1902. This was Helena's first and, apparently, only, marriage. Alonzo was a widower after losing his first wife, Maggie, in 1894. Marriage ceremony performed by Rev Gilbert M. Potter. There are no known children from her marriage to Alonzo.
