Ida married William Edgar Yetter on October 26, 1896, in Lee County, Iowa. William was born July 8, 1859, in Hancock Township, to Three children were born to Ida and William Yetter, none of whom survived childhood. In the 1900 Federal census, Ida was shown to be the mother of two children, both living, yet those children were not enumerated at the time. William Yetter's obituary states that two children died in early infancy. The third child, Eva May, died at the age of 2 1/2. The loss of their little ones was perhaps attenuated by their considerable effort, over the course of many years, to support the care of unfortunate children. They held dinners and parties to raise funds for the Children's Memorial Home.
Ida married Robert H. Rexroat on April 8, 1935. He was the son of James M. and Susan (or Susannah) Jane Rexroat, natives of Kentucky and Illinois, respectively.

He was first married to Laura Idella Rexroat, daughter of Lewis and Catharine Goodpasture Rexroat, of Morgan County, Illinois; Laura died March 19, 1923, in Macomb, McDonough County. Robert died January 26, 1947, at Colchester, McDonough County. Burial location undetermined. Ida May died June 27, 1962, at Colchester, and was buried at Majorville Cemetery. |
