Charlotte reports a number of stories her mother Leona Jane told about Ida, with whom she lived for periods during high school. Ida could reportedly go into the local department store, presumably in Douglas AZ, look at the most expensive dress, go home, and replicate it. Ida made the dress Leona Jane is wearing in her posed high school graduation picture. She always spoke of Ida with affection, and Charlotte states it was Ida who put the articles about Leona (and presumably Agnes Neer) in the local newspaper. | Charlotte reports a number of stories her mother Leona Jane told about Ida, with whom she lived for periods during high school.
