Individual Details

No child of this name is in the census records with the Ridenour family - yet FindAGrave, FamilySearch, Ancetry trees all have placed her here. If she wasn't a daughter of Edward Jacob - he had a number of brothers and most of the families were in this same area.

1940 Census. Liberty Twp, Barry, MO, Hh 327
Daniel H. Metcalf, 47, b. KY, lived in Logan Co, OK in 1935, Sawer, saw mill
Violet Ida, wife, 20, b. MO
Donnie E., son, 5 months

On the same page is Levertt Ridenour, age 39, b. MO and his wife Violet, age 29 - I think his family should be investigated for possible connections to Violet Ida. This couple was in Barry Co in 1930. FindAGrave states his name as Levert Louis Ridenour - if so, in 1920, age 19, he was in the household of George W. & Almyra Ridenour.

1930 Census. Richwood, McDonald Co, MO
William Ridenour, age 51, married at 26, b. AR

Elva, dau, 10, b. MO - could this be "Ida" - she is the right age
Fern, dau, 7, b. MO

She is buried Rocky Comfort Cemetery, Newton Co, MO, along with other Ridenours. Surname at her death was Copening.
