Ida Florence Werner*; b. Mar. 30, 1881, Eglon, WV; d. Feb. 23, 1930, Washington DC.
Brief Biography:
Ida Florence Werner* grew up in the farm community of Eglon WV where she met her future husband, Harry, when he was on a summer vacation in western MD, near the WV border. Eglon is a very small town almost on the border between MD and WV which is surrounded by dairy farms and sawmills in the Appalachian mountains. She was the third of five children in her family and had received some training in singing from her father, who was a music teacher. She and Harry were married in 1903 in Washington DC and she raised their two sons.
Ida was known for her long and radiant red hair. She was a wonderful hostess and played the piano for many country sing-fests, as well as for her family and friends in Washington DC.
Ida died suddenly in 1930 of what was diagnosed as "rheumatic heart", accompanied however with hemorrhaging of the lungs. It is suspected now that she had contracted tuberculosis, which was complicated by a chronic condition, such as asthma.
