Biography

Ida was born in 1875. She was the daughter of Amos Miller and Sarah Cupp. The 1880 census shows her living with her parents and siblings in Wabash County, Indiana. Her name is spelled Iola on this census. ^[1] In 1902 she married Otho Winger. ^[2] The 1910, 1920, 1930, and 1940 census information shows her living with her husband and children in Wabash County, Indiana. ^{[3][4] [5][6]} Ida passed away in 1944. ^[7]

Research Notes

Her husband Otho wrote a short booklet titled "In memory of Ida Miller Winger" that contains a lot of genealogy on her family. ^[8]

Ida Miller is also mentioned in an on-line book that was written about her husband, Otho Winger, President of Manchester College from 1911-1941. In the book on page 24 it says Otho met Ida when she was teaching short hand and typing at Manchester College. I have included a link to the book here. ^[9] (The book title is Otho Winger, 1877-1946, written by V.F. Schwalm, also once a President of Manchester College).
