The following year, Ne- hemiah returned with his wife, Mary, their six sons, the three children of his brother Ezra and his nephew, Nathan Ide. They settled and built a Presbyterian church where the cemetery now stands. The church was eventu- ally torn down and its materials were used to construct the Ide- town United Methodist Church, which is closed but still stand- ing. Willis Ide, 83, of Idetown, was one of the family members pre- sent at the book’s donation to the Back Mountain Memorial Library. He grew up in Dallas, married in the Dallas United Methodist Church in 1946 and built his Idetown home in 1952. Willis and his wife joined the Idetown United Methodist Church and attended services there until it closed and merged with the Lehman United Metho- dist Church. Willis claims it was his great-great grandfather who signed the papers for former Bedford Township to be sold to Lehman Township. The book, purchased mostly by Ide relatives, sells for $65, weighs nine pounds and con- tains over 1,700 loose leaf pages. “It’s really a great book,” Wil- lis Ide said. “I've heard different people say after reading book and (considering) price of the book, they’ve spent much more for college books with less historical value than it has.” In 2000, Ide descendants erected a statue of Nehemiah in the Idetown Cemetery where both Nehemiah and Mary Ide are buried. “There are an awful lot of usin the cemetery down here,” Willis Ide said. Recent Dallas High School graduate Rosemary Shaver used the book to complete research for her graduation project about her family, the Shavers, a found- ing family of the Back Moun- tain. One hundred members of the Ide family attended the 106th Annual Ide Family Reunion at Frances Slocum State Park on June 28, 2008.
