Greene Family - Ida Greene - Photos

This is an adult photo of my mother's (Lorna), father's (Shirley), mother Ida Greene. I do not believe that she had a middle name.

This photo was taken in Minneapolis Minnesota by W. A. Nye. The photo studio was in the: Post Office Building, 23 4th St. South. (And by the way - take the elevator. I have not taken a look at a Sanborn Fire map to get an idea as to how many stories the building is/was.)

The first picture when Ida was 3 years old or so was possibly taken in California before the family moved back to Illinois.

While the family lived in Barry Illinois Ida me Lewis Triplett - probably at school.

At some point Ida's mother, Anne Eliza Bills met and married William Givler. The family then moved to Long Lake Minnesota.

At some point Lewis moved to Minnesota as well, only to Little Falls. Little Falls is a short drive to the northwest of Minneapolis.

There Lewis bought land and started building houses. (The story is that Ida's step father insisted on Lewis showing that he was a responsible person who could support a family. [This was definately the prevalent belief within the United States at that time.]

I believe that Lewis built several houses for others and then a home for he and Ida could move into after marriage. This original house no longer stands but second home does still stand as far as I know.
