I found Ida's death certificate #116-53-12863 and it lists the following information:

Ida Doan born Aug. 30, 1872 in Kentucky
Died: June 7/1953 @ 10:15 p.m. in Kentucky
She was a widow at the time of her death
Her father was Fayette Payne and her mother's maiden name was Mary Cummins.
She died of a cerebral Hemorrhage.
She was buried June 9, 1953 at McNeil Cemetery in East Bernstadt, Kentucky
Arrangements were made by House Funeral Home, London, Kentucky.
Information for the death certificate was supplied by her son George Doan.

They had the following children:
