He was sent to an orphanage on the North Side of Pittsburgh. He had a brother named William Jackson who was older. For some reason William was not put into the orphanage. Ira lost touch with his family. One day William came to see Ira in Sewickley Hills (a subburb of Pittsburgh). William and Ira did speak but his daughters (small then)said nothing seemed to come of it. We went to the orphanage to find records but they said the records were lost in a fire.
