Message Board Post:
Here is a copy of her obit from the South Bend Tribune. It states that she was born in
Hamilton, IN and married in Buchanan, Mich.
I could not find her birth in the St. Joseph County birth index.
I've also attached a page from the 1880 census. There is an "Ida Burden",
age 18, daughter of Nathaniel and Jane Burden. This is the closest I could come to finding
her.
I could not find the family in the 1970 census.
I could not find any births to a Nathaniel Borden, Burden, Borton, or anything like that.
I wonder if the obituary mistakenly said Hamilton rather than Hamilton COUNTY, Indiana.
Your best bet would be to get some kind of marriage record from Buchanan Michigan, that
gives parents' names.
Sorry I couldn' be more helpful.
