I'm tickled about these responses about my one little query! Wish the other lists did this well... So the Bible Institute was the place Ida chose to go to after the death of her mother, the infamous Madame Ziegler of Butte, Montana. Wow. What a contrast! But I can't say that I blame her, this is what Ida Croxall's life was like: She was born to Mark Croxall and Hulda Wilhemine Zachariassen in 1884. Hulda was wife no. 4 and a Danish immigrant who followed her older sister Juliette Octavia to Salt Lake City. Juliette was wife no. 3. Mark's other two wives were daughters of Brigham Young. Mark was a musician, played the coronet and also ran the Western Union Telegraph office when it first set up in SLC. So this gives one the impression that the guy held some prestige in the community. Alas, Juliette filed for divorce in 1884 on grounds of abuse and claimed that Mark "habitually drank intoxicating liquors". He was subpoenaed, but never showed up for the court date. This was because he high-tailed it with a very pregnant Hulda to Butte, MT. Juliette never did see the $55.00 in alimony & child support and eventually moved to California (Burbank). Caroline Partridge Young, wife no. 2, filed for abandonment against Mark and married George Q. Cannon as wife no. 6. Meanwhile, up in Butte - Ida is born, being the 19th and last child of Mark Croxall. Mark died in 1889 and Hulda starts to make a living as a mind reader (I'm told this was quite the thing in Butte around then). But what to do with the kid? Hulda starts claiming Ida to be an Irish immigrant who came over in 1892, and is just rooming with her. Hulda also starts calling herself Madame Ziegler. Poor Ida. She remains with her mother and her fortune telling business on 617 South Montana St. until her mother's death. Then we find Ida at the Bible Institute in the 1930 census as a Lodger, and works in the bookstore (perhaps there?). Anyway, Ida died in 1959 at the age of 75, never married. Thank you again for all of your responses! Cynthia
