She married Harvey Jones on June 19, 1914. They had one son and one daughter. The couple lived in Postville, Iowa until 1937 when they moved to Waukon, Iowa until 1975. Ida remained in her home until moving to the Good Samaritan Center in Waukon in 1985. She died at the Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon, Iowa *This paper did not give the day in May 1987 that she passed away. I checked the social security index and it did not list the day either. It was probably around May 14 or May 15.

Preceding her in death was her husband, Harvey Jones who died January 12, 1981; 4 brothers, Alfred Nesteby, Ted Nesteby, Albert Nesteby, and Carl Nesteby; and 2 sisters, Mabel and Alma.
