Biography
Ira Elsworth Mead is listed as a son of Miner Clark Mead and Rose Ann Ginther. His entry gives June 19, 1871, in Oto, Iowa, as his birth and names Ella Henrietta Molle as his wife, with a marriage date of April 16, 1898.
The family biography describes work in a planing mill and furniture store, his trade as a tinner, and music in local bands and church. A 1920 census household in Snyder Village independently records Ira, age 48, with wife Ella and daughter Irma, age 19, a strong match to their daughter Erma.
