Note: Ida Jane Kenner Shearlock was the oldest of nine children born to her parents William Bryant Kenner and Mary Malinda Swink. Ida was born on December 4, 1857 in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri. On December 28, 1875 Ida married Alfred Francis Shearlock in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri. There were ten children born to Ida and Alfred: Arthur Lee (1877), Mary Jessie (1878), William Montreville (1881), Estelle Peliza (1882), Walter August (1884), Mabel Frances (1886), Annie Blanch (1889), Amy Flora (1890), Paul (1893) and Grace Ellen (1895). Alfred died rather young on August 18, 1897, leaving Ida to raise their surviving children. After his death, Ida moved to the City of St. Louis, Missouri, where she apparently spent the rest of her life. She lived another 46 years. She died in St. Louis on December 27, 1943. Ida is buried with her son Walter and near to her husband in the Gamel Cemetery in Festus, Missouri. Rick Waggener =============== From the book "Genealogy of the Swink Family of Missouri" by Robert A. Swink; The Star-News Publishing Co., Pasadena, California, 1940: Ida Jane Married Alfred Francis Shearlock on December 23, 1875, in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri. He was a miller by trade and on coming to Festus, Missouri, built the mill afterwards known as the "Brickey Mill." He was an enterprising man of French descent. He died in De Soto, Missouri, in 1897, leaving Ida, his wife, to survive him. She moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where she raised her family. In a letter sending the author the foregoing information Ida Jane Shearlock wrote that "In a few days I shall be eighty-three years of age. I am very well and am able to attend to the household duties." She is a charter member of the Festus Christian Church, the only one now living. ============ From the 1860 Federal Census of Beauvais Township, Ste.

It is dated July 3rd, 1918, and involves the sale of a 1.5 acre of property by "Ida J. Sherlock, a widow of the City of St. Louis, Mo., William A. Gamel and Emma his wife of the City of Festus, Jefferson County, Missouri, Jessie D. Waggener and Anna E. Waggener his wife of the city of Festus, Jefferson County, Missouri, Genevieve Baker, a single woman and Mary Kenner, widow of William B. Kenner, deceased, of the City of Festus, Jefferson County, Missouri" to "R. W. Wills and Ida E. Wills his wife of the County of Jefferson in the State of Missouri." The selling price was $750. The plot of land was in Township 40, Range Six, East, and I believe it was on Kenner Hill just adjacent to the property where the Kenner house was. There is an easement included in the property for what was apparently the roadway or driveway leading to what was the Kenner house and property on the hill. The Kenners were allowed access on the roadway. It looks like it was just off of what is now North Mill Road. The description of the property mentions that it was adjacent to a piece of property previously owned by Mary Swink Kenner's brother John Edwin Swink and his wife Mariah, which they had sold in 1905. Jesse and Anna Waggener were actually in Detroit, Michigan by this time, and trier names were signed by a Notary Public. I am not sure why Thomas and George Kenner are not included in this document. - RW ============= From the 1920 Federal Census of the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, district 593, sheet 10B, taken January 12, 1920, household 198, address- 5182 Delaware Boulevard; from ancestry.com, image 20 of 49: Shearlock, Ida; head of household, rents home, female, age- 62, widowed, r/w's, born- Missouri, parents born- Missouri, occupation- none ------ Gracie B.; daughter, female, age- 24, single, r/w's, born- Missouri, parents born- Missouri, occupation- stenographer/ railroad office ------ Amy; daughter, female, age- 28, single, r/w's, born- Missouri, parents born- Missouri, occupation- stenographer/ railroad office Ryan, Jessie; female, age- 41, widowed, r/w's, born- Missouri, parents born- Missouri, occupation- records clerk/ railroad office ============ From the 1930 Federal Census of the City of St. Louis, 25th ward, block 5051A, St. Louis County, Missouri, taken May 14, 1930, district 96-172, sheet 15a, household 394, address- 5136 Delman Boulevard; from ancestry.com, image 62 0f 67: Sherlock, Ida J.; head of household, rents home/ rent $60/ month, radio set in home, home is not a farm, female, age- 72, widowed, 18 years old at 1st marriage, r/w's, born- Missouri, parents born- Missouri, occupation- none Hanna, Stella; daughter, female, age- 48, married, 24 years old at 1st marriage, born- Missouri, parents born- Missouri, occupation- seamstress/ dress, currently employed Ryan, Jessie J.; daughter, female, age- 50, widowed, 18 years old at 1st marriage, r/w's, born- Missouri, parents born- Missouri, occupation- file clerk/ railroad, currently employed ============= From the 1940 Federal Census of St. Louis, Missouri, district 96-641, sheet 1a, taken April 3, 1940. address- 5236 Delmar Ave: Sherlock, Ida; head of household, rents home/ $35, female, age- 82, widowed, highest grade completed- 8th, born- Missouri, residence in 1935- same house, not working/ other Hannah, Estelle; daughter, female, age- 58, married, highest grade completed- 8th, born- Missouri, residence in 1935- same house, not working/ engaged in housework, had other income Ryan, Jessie; daughter, female, age- 61, widowed, highest grade completed- 8th, born- Missouri, residence in 1935- same place, worked last week of March/ 44 hours, occupation- car accountant/ steam railroad, worked 52 weeks in 1939, wages and salary- $1500 ============= Ida's death certificate is posted on-line by the State of Missouri: State Board of Health of Missouri Standard Certificate of Death Place of death: Saint Louis, Park Lane Hospital Usual residence: 5136 Delmar Blvd., Saint Louis, Missouri Name: Ida Jane Sherlock Sex: female Color: white Marital status: widowed Name of spouse: Alfred Frances Sherlock Age: 86 years, 0 months, 23 days Birthplace: St. Genevieve, Mo.
