Ida F. Bartee
&
William C. Rodelander

Ida F. Bartee was the first child born of all Thomas Perry Bartee's children. Her mother was Emaline Hubbard. Ida was born in March of 1869 in Montgomery County, Missouri. Thomas was 19 years old, Emaline was age 20 when Ida was born. Ida is listed as being eight years old in the 1876 Missouri census of Montgomery Co., Mo..

William C. Rodelander, later to be Ida's husband, was born in December of 1862. He was the son of Calaway and Sarah A.  Rodelander. Calaway Rodelander was born May 30, 1830 in Tennessee; Sarah was born in December of 1831 in Indiana. Calaway was the son of John, born in 1811, and Elizabeth Rodelander, born in 1807. John and Elizabeth settled in Dallas County, Missouri before 1850. John was born in North Carolina, Elizabeth in Tennessee.

Ida Bartee and William C. Rodelander were married on April 21, 1889, at Wood Hill, Dallas County, Mo..  They were married in Willow Spring Church by Rev. H. Edmonson.

On Oct. 10, 1896, William C. Rodelander received a Land Grant for 80 acres in Dallas County, Missouri. The free land was made possible by the Homestead Act that Congress passed in May of 1862.

Per the 1900 census, enumerated on June 1, William and Ida Rodelander were living in Grant Township, Dallas Co., Missouri. At that time, the year 1900, William and Ida had three children; John W., born Feb. 19, 1890; Sarah M., born Sept., 1891; and Mamie, born Sept., 1897. Also, at that time William's mother and father, Calaway and Sarah A. Rodelander were living with the couple.

By the time the 1910 census was taken, William Rodelander's household had changed, indicating the couple  had another child. That child being Elbert D., born in 1902. Calaway Rodelander, William's mother and father, were not living with the couple in 1910, but Mary A. Bartee, younger half-sister of Ida was living with the family. Mary was married by then, but her husband is not living in the household. Mary is the daughter of Thomas Perry Bartee and his second wife, Ruth Ann Highbarger.

Special note about Mary Ann Bartee, half-sister to Ida Bartee:

She married William Edgar Evans, son of Simeon W. and Eliza Evans. By the 1910 census Mary is listed as being married; yet she is listed as Mary A. "Bartee", not as Mary A. "Evans". However,  Mary's husband, William Edgar Evans, was alive in 1910, but did die before the 1920 census. The 1920, and 1930, censuses report Mary as being a widow. And in both those censuses she is reported as living with William Edgar Evan's parents. I have not found William Edgar Evans in any 1910 census reports. I do have a copy of his WWI draft card, dated June 5, 1917. It states he has a wife and two children. I have not been able to confirm where he was living at in 1910
