[Note: Ida' last name is McKinney on the marriage record and, she is listed as being a widow. Her parents are William and Angie Pack. The year before in the 1910 Census she was a cook in the household of John McKinney and his wife. Ida's marital status is divorced. So this is Ida, but the puzzle is why is she using the last name of her employer and indicating she is a widow?]
