One source indicates DoD was 20 Jun 1886. This is
inconsistent with following other sources: based on
her mother Julia's obit, Ida Alice died in the winter
of 1896/97 in Rocklin, CA. It is also known that
when Ida Alice died her daughter Laura, born 3 Sep
1885, was taken in by her aunt and uncle, Julia Amelia
(Canon) and Wilson Brougher. This occurred when Laura
was a young woman. If Ida died in 1886, Laura would
have been 1, if Ida died in 1896/97, Laura would have
been 12. The latter is more likely.
One news article on death of son Edwin does not
mention Ida, probably indicating she preceded him in
death. Article does indicates Edwin had grandmother,
two sisters and a brother living in Auburn, CA, and an
aunt Brougher living in Belmont, Nye, NV at the time
of his death. Another news article on Edwins death
indicates he was buried in Rocklin by the side of Ida
Alice.
