John Frederick Ide was born on 6 October 1856, in Pfaffenhausen, Hesse, Germany, to Konrad Ide and Anna Elisabeth Bechtel. According to figures from the Philadelphia Social History Project, in 1880, only 1.3% of Philadelphia Germans were from Hesse Cassel, and only 3.7% were from the Northwest region of Germany.
John may have left Germany to avoid military service. At least, on 9 August 1882, the Homberger Kreisblatt published a notice ordering John Ide to report for service within six weeks, since he had illegally emigrated to the United States.
John took the Erin, which left London on the 28th of February, and arrived in New York, New York, on 18 March 1882, with Johan Ide in steerage, twenty-five years old, and a laborer. It was carrying 148 passengers, including 13 in saloon, and 135 in steerage. According to the ad for the return trip, the Erin was leaving for London on 25 March, and prepaid steerage tickets cost $28, "$2 lower than most lines". (A cabin ticket would have cost $30 to $70.)
1881 and 1882 saw huge increases in German immigration, with 1881 barely below the previous peak of 1854, and 1882 far surpassing any other year between 1840 and 1890
John was married to Minnie Zeltwanger on 25 December 1884, by Rev Frederick William Berleman (minister of Salem Reformed Church), Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. (He also married their daughter Anna.) The witnesses were Friedrich Bickhardt and Mattheis Kellmeier. (See the family page for more information about their life.)
According to John's death certificate, he started having heart problems (chronic myocarditis) on the 23rd of November 1928. One year later, on the 30th of November 1929, at 12.25 pm, he died. He was living at 2718 E Orthodox Street, was still a baker, and was a member of Schoeffer Lodge, number 464, of the Knights of Pythias. The funeral service, held Wednesday at 2.30 pm, undertaker J S Buttenklepper, was held at their residence, with a private interment, in the family plot at Northwood Cemetery.
