She was riding the merry-go-round with her two grandsons, Jamie Cumby, 4, and John Hammond Cumby age 2 when Jamie lost his balance and began falling. Ida clutched at him and both the child and his grandmother fell to the ground. The boy was not injured. She was fifty years old. She is survived by two sons, Connor and F M. Hammond III and her husband F. M Hammond II, two daughters Mrs. J. M. Cumby of 402 Montreal Avenue and Mrs Frank Sam Slay of Corsicana. Her two daughters were with her at the time of the accident.
