Ada was the daughter of Swede Charles Anderson and Lucinda Seider, who married on 6 May 1880 in Marshall County. I found the family on the 1900 Census, living in Plymouth, Marshall Co., Indiana, where Charles Anderson, aged 46, was doing carpentry work, specifically, wood bending. Lucinda, aged 39, reported that she had had two children, and that both had survived to that census. Home with her were Delmina, aged 19, and Ada, aged 16. Also there was 37-year-old boarder Caroline Bauman.
Three years after that census, Ada married Otto Aanon Breece in Marshall County. Otto was the son of Henry Clay Breece and Hannah M. Linnaberry.
A year later, Ada’s older sister Delmina exchanged vows with Harley J. Bryant on Christmas Eve in 1904, also in Marshall County. I found the two girls and their husbands, living next door to one another on Plum St. in Plymouth in 1910. Ada's husband Otto, aged 28, was working as a basket maker at Plymouth's basket factory, aka Edgerton Manufacturing Company. Ada reported that she had not yet had any children. Delmina's husband Harley, aged 30, was employed as a cigar maker in a cigar factory. The ink on the record is so faded that the transcriber couldn't make out their names and failed to see that with them was Delmina and Ada's father Charles, aged 56, working as a carpenter / builder. Lucinda wasn't with Charles. She didn't die until 1919 and her headstone bears her maiden name, so perhaps they had separated.
On 2 Oct 1919, Ada’s sister Delmina and second husband William Tillman got a marriage licence.
The two sisters were still neighbors on Plum St. in Plymouth when the 1920 Census was enumerated. Ada's husband Otto, aged 37, was working for the railroad. They had welcomed son Donald Otto on 13 Mar 1917, and he was home with 36-year-old Ada. After Lucinda's death in 1919, Charles had moved in with Ada and Otto. He appeared with them in 1920, aged 75, widowed. Delmina's new husband William, aged 45, was also working for the railroad. There were no children with them.
The 1930 Census was enumerated in Plymouth on April 2nd. The two sisters were still neighbors on Plum Street. Ada's husband Otto, aged 48, had found work as a mechanic at the basket factory and Ada, aged 46, was a web maker at the factory. Son Donald was 14 and attending school. As a sophomore he was in Debate Club. Delmina's husband William, aged 55, was earning a living as a plumber. Delmina, aged 47, was caring for her’s and Ada’s father Charles, aged 75, who died later that same year.
In 1934, Otto and Ada’s son Donald graduated from Plymouth’s Lincoln High School. He married soon after. He and wife Blanche were already living at 817 Center St. in Plymouth in 1935 and appeared together on the 1940 Census at that address. No occupation was given for Donald.
By the 1940 Census, both Ada and Delmina and their spouses had moved to the country. Ada, aged 56, and Otto, aged 58, were living at 1003 Lake Avenue. Otto was the senior clerk in an office of the WPA. The Works Progress Administration (renamed in 1939 as the Work Projects Administration) was the largest and most ambitious New Deal agency.
On 28 Mar 1944, Otto and Ada’s son Donald enlisted in the Army. He served until 4 Feb 1946.
On 30 Jun 1953, Otto and Ada would have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. The shared three more years together before death separated them, first claiming Ada in 1956 at age 73. Otto lived another nine years without her before being laid to rest at her side after his death in March of 1965. Son Donald and wife Blanche retired in the Clearwater, Florida area, where he died on 25 Feb 1978 at age 61. Donald’s wife Blanche died sixteen years later in 1994. Their stone is next that that shared by Otto and Ada. On the other side are Ada’s sister Delmina and second husband William Tillman.
