I got the name Ida E. Morke from the WPA listing of marriages for Sullivan Co., IN.
Dugger is in Sullivan Co. The WPA listings have a high rate of mistranslations of names
so Ida's name probably was Myrick - at least the M was correct. I suggest you write
and obtain a copy of the marriage license. Emmett Mitchell married Ida E. 5 Aug. 1893 in
Sullivan Co., IN. The marriage is recorded in Book 10, page 98. Emmett and Ida had a
baby boy in Greene Co., IN on 12 July 1897. I did not find them in the 1900 census for
IN. They had probably wandered off to MO by then! Emmett was the son of Alexander
Mitchell b. 1843 IN and d. 1893 and Elizabeth Moss b. Feb. 1849 and d. 1931. Both are
buried in the Old Salem Cem., Greene Co. IN. In the 1880 census for Greene Co. Alexander
is listed and among his children Emmett was shown as being 7 years old - they were living
in Grant Twp., Greene Co. If you notice Emmett's father died the same year he married
Ida.
