Ida May Ellsworth (David6, Aaron5, Aaron4, Jeremiah3, Jeremiah2, Jeremiah1) was born in Ohio in Sep 1861 (or in Michigan; records vary) to David Chapman Ellsworth and Sarah Richmond. She married Jay Burton Burdick Aug 31 1886 or 01 Sep 1886 (depending on records you wish to believe) and died Sep 1908. Interment in Oak Grove Cemetery, Hillsdale, MI. She has no headstone, but is buried next to her parents in Section 4, lot 111. Her husband, Jay is also buried in Oak Grove, but in another section. He does not have a headstone, nor does their son, Harold, who died young, of epilepsy.
Ida was a teacher. She and Jay were married at the home of OC Nash's (Ida May’s sister, Belle was the wife of OC Nash), Hillsdale, MI. She spent some time in a sanitarium, family lore says in Kalamazoo, MI. Her daughter Gladys spent most of her time as a child with her relatives, the Nashes, so Ida must have been ill for quite some time. They said she suffered from “nervous disease”. She died in Hillsdale, MI of acute eutero colitis, and her funeral was at the same location as her wedding…at the home of OC Nash.
