     Ida married Charles C. Crow, son of William A. Crow and Nora [surname unknown], on 1 Apr 1894 in St. Joseph, Buchanan Co., Missouri, with Rev. M. M. Goode officiating.11,12
     Ida and Charles moved to unit 9 of the Virginia Flats, a new up-scale complex of flats on 10th St. in St. Joseph by 1898. The complex was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 because of its architectural significance. They lived there until about 1902, but apparently escaped being included in the 1900 U.S. Census.16,17,18 They moved to 1118 N 12th, a stand-alone home, about 190219, then to 1118 Henry about 1905.20
     Ida and Charles moved to 2723 Seneca about 1908, and continued to live there until they moved to Kansas City.21 They appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of St. Joseph, Buchanan Co., Missouri, at 2723 Seneca St., enumerated 16 Apr 1910, reporting that the family owned its home, free of mortgage. Their children Nora and Charles were listed as living with them, as was his father, William A. Crow.22
     Charles established a residence in Kansas City, Missouri, at 202 55th St. Terrace, about 1913, but he maintained his residence in both cities for a time. Ida and the family did not move to Kansas City until about Jan 1914, six months before her death.23,24,25,26
     Ida died on 8 Jul 1914 in Kansas City, Jackson Co., Missouri, at age 45, from complications following an operation.4,13 She was buried on 10 Jul 1914 in St. Joseph, Missouri.4
