Notes |
- Ida was the eldest of three children and grew up on a dairy farm. She did all her schooling at Monteith, walking 2.5 miles over dirt roads. In winter there were big pools of water and mud, so they took their shoes to change into when they got to school. Before the hall was built they walked the same distance to Sunday School on Sundays.
Ida remembered many happy times at dances, concerts and card evenings, strawberry fetes being the highlight after the Hall was finished. She played tennis when she was young but admitted she was not good at it. When she was 18 her parents bought a farm firstly at Naturi and then moved to Renmark, South Australia. She went to Keyneton, South Australia, where she worked as a companion to Mrs Annie Evans for three years until she married Frank.
Ida was a homemaker and having three babies in 14 months must have kept her very busy. She made all their clothes. She loved gardening and flowers and for many years did an arrangement each Sunday for the church at Coomandook. Many people could testify to having a posy from Ida, picked from her garden and lovingly arranged. While at Coomandook she taught Sunday School for many years and attended Ladies' Guild and Country Womans Association (C.W.A.) these she continued and also worked for Resthaven Auxilliary when she moved to Murray Bridge. She enjoyed visiting friends, knitting crocheting, cooking and potting plants for trading tables. She was active in all these activities as well as driving her car until 3 weeks before her hospitalization and death in Royal Adelaide Hospital, aged 79 years.
