Ida Issadore Boughner, Divorced Again and Possible New Marriage

I continue with the life of my Great-Great Grandmother Ida Issadore (Boughner)(Debolt) Ladd. The years from 1925 when John and Ida Ladd vacationed in Put-In Bay, Ohio and the day she died 7 July 1944 are not completely clear or completely documented at this point. I am continuing to unravel this section of her life. What I do know is that John T.R. Ladd and Ida I. Ladd divorced again sometime between 1925-1930, this time for good. I believe I can narrow down the time frame of their divorce to 1925-1927 because of some new found evidence that Ida was married to another man, Ephriam Turner Beatty, on 5 May 1927 in Sapulpa, Creek County, Oklahoma. I located a reference to a marriage for Ephriam Turner Beatty to an Ida I. Ladd on 5 May 1927 in Sapulpa, Creek County, Oklahoma online at the database: http://www1.odcr.com/search.php, which is a database of court records for Oklahoma. I have requested a copy of the actual record from the Creek County Court Clerk and hopefully when I receive the record, it will confirm or deny my suspicions. I contacted an Ephriam Turner Beatty researcher that I found on Ancestry.com and asked him if he knew of this marriage and he said that he didn't but was interested in finding out if the marriage is between his Ephriam Turner Beatty and my Ida I. Ladd. This Beatty researcher tells me that Ephriam was a carpenter and blacksmith and that he owned a wood shop in Sapulpa, Creek County, Oklahoma. If this marriage is proven, this will make a total of 4 marriages for Ida, 2 of them to John T.R. Ladd. Also, if this marriage is proven, I will also have to locate a divorce for Ephriam and Ida because by the 1930 census Ida is living back in Mahoning County, Ohio and listed as widowed. Since Ephriam died in 1938, they almost had to divorce. I will report my findings on this marriage and divorce as I have proof.

Ida Issadore (Boughner)(Debolt) Ladd is listed in the 1930 Peidmont Drive, Youngstown City, Mahoning County, Ohio U.S. Federal Population Schedule Census that was enumerated on 11 April 1930. She is in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, Bertram and Cecil O'Neale. Ida is listed as being age 68, a widow, that she married for the first time at age 18, can read and write, speaks English and was born in Ohio.

It is uncertain at this point why Ida moved back to Ohio from Sapulpa, Creek County, Oklahoma. From the 1930 census until her death in 1944, I have no records for her. That period of time is something I need to concentrate on to fill in the blanks.

The photo I am including with this post is of Ida Issadore (Boughner)(Debolt) Ladd. I do not know when this photo was taken, however, by looking at the photo of Ida I would say it was taken late in her life. I would guess that she was in her 60's or 70's in this photo.

My next post will continue with Ida's death and burial.
