Ida Burnetta Wingate married Barnett Lewis Nitterhouse on Oct. 23, 1884 in Saint Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church in Hagerstown, Maryland. She was the daughter of Theodore and Lucy Ellen Wingate. Although Ida's death certificate gives her mother's maiden name as Campbell, other documentation indicates it was McCoy.
Ida and Barnett were the parents of 10 children. Their son Charles M. Nitterhouse was a WWI casualty at age 19 and is buried in France. Their oldest child, John, was an army sergeant who is buried at Arlington National. During WWI, Ida had a service flag with 4 stars in the window of her home. The stars represented the 4 sons (John, Howard, Robert and Charles) who were serving in the army during the war. A gold star was placed on the flag when Charles was killed in action in France.

Ida is buried next to her daughter Mary Ellen (Chase) and son Leroy. Ida's husband is buried in the same cemetery alongside his parents and siblings.
