Ida was evidently buried in Sheffield Cemetery. Her brother Judson will have been buried with her when he died in 1898. Ida's mother died in 1905 and her father in 1913. We do not know if earlier stones were placed for Ida and Judson, but the transcription done Sheffield Cemetery by the Hamilton Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Cemetery indicates one stone was erected for the family.
