Facts and Events
- Harry Frederick Ide was born on 11 July 1892, in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, to John Frederick Ide and Wilhelmina Zeltwanger.
- John was a baker, and started Harry and his brothers working on dough before they could even reach the table!
- Harry seems to have worked in the Colonnade Hotel at 1500-1506 Chestnut Street around 1910.
- Also, his son Harry remembered a picture of his father working in a fish store, before he was a baker. And in 1917, he was working as a produce salesman, for Keber Brothers, at 530 Luzerne Street. He was then 5 feet 8 inches tall, of medium build, and had blue eyes and brown hair. He was living at 4026 North Sixth Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
- But by 1920 he was a baker, and was living at 2422 North Bancroft Street, in Philadelphia, as a boarder with Rebecca O'Neill.
- Perhaps Harry and Laura met at the bakery, since in 1920 he was a baker and she was a housekeeper at a bakery. They were married on 22 February 1921, by Reverend George A Scheer, minister of St Mark's Reformed Church, in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. They had one child, Harry Frederic Ide, Junior.
