  1. Ida K. Lauer (b. abt 1861) was the wife of Charles Harry Lauer. She is listed as a widow in the 1910 US census.

    In the 1920 US census, Ida is shown as a boarder living at 2025 Master Street with another widow by the name of Mary M Mangan.

    In the 1930 US census, Ida is shown living with her 44 year old widowed daughter Clair Elizabeth Lauer Whitaker (Mrs. Earl F Whitaker) and her 13 year old grandson, Earl Stuart Whitaker).

    Who Anna was remains a mystery.
