• Notes

  After Ida Mae's death Zina (known as William) gave over the care of the remaining children to Ida's sister, and along with his oldest son Grover left for Fayette Co., IL. Where in 1900 he shows up in that county's census as William Brainard, a widower, with his son Grover. Zina (aka William) is listed as a grocer. After his death, his son Grover went on to join a wild west show and travel before returning to his native Michigan
