This photo seems to be taken circa 1928 based on the appearance of Carl Edgar Horstman (b 1915) in similar photos. I do not show any immediate family members passing in the 1928 time frame. 611 South Main Street, Ida Grove, Ida County, Iowa Map |
Notes
1 NOTE Fannie never married. She lived in the house that her parents built in Ida Grove until her death. She and her brothers inherited the house from her parents. All of the brothers signed the house over to Fannie except Ed and August. When she died the house was sold without a clear title. She had a life long friend named Viola Lloyd. Viola lived several blocks West of Fannie in Ida Grove.
The following was written on 01-19-2008 by Lue Baker who lived next door to Fanny Horstman (from 1957- 1971) at 607 Main St. Ida Grove, Iowa
Judith, Were one of the sons Eidle and the daughter Fannie? I grew next door to a Fannie Horstman in Ida Grove. She had never married as far as I know and her age was such that your grandparents could be her parents. Eitel, Fannie’s younger brother, came to live with her after being released from the mental hospital in Cherokee where he had been a patient most of his adult life. He was quite harmless and, although he seemed to be able to hear, he never spoke to us.
Roger, Thank you so much for the information and picture (sent early photo of Fanny’s house at 611 So. Main). What a loss to have removed the porches and the staircase. My family lived in the house in the background of the picture you sent from 1957- 1971 (607 Main). We had a wonderful front porch on the front of our house but it was torn off in 1968 because of wood rot in the supports underneath. I remember Mother wanted to rebuild the open porch but Dad wanted to enclose it for a home office. Dad won that one. My family moved to a farm 3 miles north of town in August of 71. We probably saw each other when you were visiting.
I don’t remember the fence from the picture but there was a large tree at the corner which was taken down in the late 50’s (I was about 7) Fannie was so concerned one of the neighhood kids would get hurt that she called the parents and told them her property was off-limits until the work was done. A few days later my younger brother ran into the stump (he was 5 and just learning to ride a two-wheeler), flipped over the handlebars are had a big bump on his forehead. Fanny felt horrible. Another time she called my mother that another brother who was about 3, was playing with a small bear in the back yard. Mother explained that the animal was a new puppy (a Schipperkee) and that it did indeed look like a very small bear cub. They had a good laugh and Mother thanked her for her concern. Fannie was not really sociable as in she rarely initiated a conversation but was a friendly in a reserved way when approached and a concerned neighbor. I remember once after I helped her rake her lawn and she took me into the kitchen for cookies and lemonade.
When Eitel came to live with her I was in high early school. My older brother was still in high school so it must have been 1966-1968 (he graduated in 68). She contacted all the neighbors to assure everyone he was harmless but that he was not communicative. When he arrived she showed him the property lines and he never crossed them. He walked her sidewalk daily and would turn around and back up until his heels touched the designated line on the sidewalk. He also took care of the lawn with an old reel push mower. He seemed to be a gentle soul. If I remember correctly he fell from a hay mow in his late teens and never fully recovered. He apparently went to Cherokee shortly thereafter.
I am guessing the grand staircase was enclosed when the upstairs was converted to an apartment. I was up there quite a few times as we were friends with the family who lived there for quite a few years. Their son was the same age as another brother (I have 4 brothers and a sister).

Thanks, Roger….this was very interesting… I have the picture of the Horstman house in Ida Grove…it was such a grand house in those days. I was surprised she, Lu Baker, had thought Eitel had fallen from a hay mow. What I always thought/heard was that he became depressed when WW1 started, afraid to go to war, like his older brother did. (I have a postcard booklet from Ed when he was in Germany, all German, and I can’t read a word of it) Also pictures from then. My dad even told me Eitel ‘just sat on the couch in the house and didn’t go outside to work) and that was before he was sent to Cherokee. I was Eitel’s payee for his SSI payments, and he was a gentle soul. When he died there were 12 of us at his funeral. I put a thankyou in the paper to the Morningside care center for their care. I wish I still had it, and maybe I do, if I look hard enough. Isn’t it interesting to read someone’s memories of Aunt Fannie’s home? Remember playing croquet in her yard? And her really good sugar cookies, and those wicker rocking chairs? I still have a small metal box with a lid she once gave me. and I have that beautiful crocheted afghan that was on the back of her couch, it was multicolored with black outlines. I also have her ceder chest. I treasure these things so much. Thanks, also, for all your hard work getting this genealogy put together. Always good to hear from you. your cousin in cold Iowa
