Notes:
Her marriage license says she was born in Marion County, Indiana
Ida was the eighth child of Benjamin and Louisa Black. She was born in Fairfield, IN on May 1, 1864. The family moved to North English, IA by covered wagon when she was a year old. Her mother died when she was two years old. In 1879 she came to Nebraska (she was 15) with Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Rosecrans and lived on the farm west of Ashland with them. She joined the New Hope Christian Church when she was 16 years old. She married Edward Frasier in 1886. They lived on several different farms before ending up back on the Rosecrans farm where she lived with Edward until his death in 1938. She then moved to Havelock, NE and lived with her son Clarence until her death in 1949. Further information regarding the Rosecrans' is not known, other than they bought their land from the railroad.
From MaryAnn Hrubesky:
The Black Siblings - In 1880
The death of their mother, Louisa Matthews Black, in 1866 was a life changing event for these children. A number of them were still quite young. Ida, born in 1864, was only two years old and was raised by her older sisters, a step-mother, and a very kind young couple, the Rosencrans, living nearby.
Their father had remarried in 1870. His second wife was Sarah Dennis who had also been trying to raise six young children since the death of her husband in 1863 while he had been a soldier in the Civil War. It would seem to be an excellent idea for both Sarah and Benjamin. In fact, it wasn't. They would produce two children together but at some point before 1880, they would separate and divorce.
Benjami n had six living children by Louisa left in the home area at this point. (Samuel is absent and cannot be found and Joseph has already left for the West.) Together, the children would plan to move west themselves and resettle, startinnng new lives. Only Edwin Howard would remain in Iowa, having married a neighboring girl in 1878. The five other children would move to Saunders County, Nebraska. They are present there at the 1880 census. (William would remain in Iowa, living with his newly married brother, for a short time but would soon also be in Saunders County.)
Ida, the youngest and 17 years of age, would be with the family of Edwin Rosencrans to whom she had been close in Iowa. In the 1880 census in Saunders County, NE, the Rosencrans would list her as "adopted." Her regard for the Rosencrans woulululd remain very high through the remainder of their lives. It is on the Rosencrans' farm that she would become acquainted and later married to their "hired man," Edward Frasier. When Edwin Rosencrans retired from farming, the Frasiers would buy his farm and live and work the property for the remainder of their own lives.
Benjamin's children with Sarah Dennis were John and Berton Earnest. Berton Earnest remains in this area with his mother. He grew to adulthood, married and lived the remainder of his life in this area. John soon disappears from the records.
As the marriage between their father, Benjamin Black, and Sarah Dennis had failed, it would seem likely that he would also have accompanied his children to Nebraska. But he did not. Whether he ever visited them is unknown. In the 1880 census he is boarding with a neighboring farmer in Iowa. Soon he would decide to return to the area in which he was raised, Boone and Kenton Counties in northern Kentucky. He may have had relatives still present in the area and/or perhaps he was just "going home." In this location in 1885 he would meet Cynthia Jones who would become his third wife. He lived until 1894. It is not known whether he and his children had any further contact. One would certainly hope so.
