Ida I. Grist (middle name unknown) was born in Lovelton, North Branch
              Township, Wyoming County, PA on April 7, 1862, the youngest
              child of Chester and Amanda Bowman Grist.


              Ida's oldest brother, Clayton, was killed in the Civil War at the Battle
              of Petersburg, Virginia on April 7, 1865.


              Ida's father, Chester, at one time ran a mail route from Mehoopany, Pa. to
              Woodhull, NY, and eventually the family moved to Woodhull.


              Ida married Cecil A. Clark on December 21, 1885 in Corning, NY. They
              had 5 children: Earl, Marietta, Ivan, Manning, and Lena. It appears that
              the family lived mainly in Westfield, PA.


              On May 20, 1901, Ida died from the complications of Typhoid Pneumonia at
              the age of 37/39. She was buried on May 22, 1901, in Riverside Cemetery,
              Knoxville, Tioga County, Pa., leaving behind five children ages 1 through 14.
