Ida Albertine Wilhelmine Pieper, daughter of John Carl Friedrich and Alvina Amelia (Schmeling) Pieper was married to Ole Johannsen Moin, son of Johann "John" Olsen and Oline (Kyset) Moin on April 10, 1902 in Barron County, Wisconsin. To this union five children were born Jasper Raymond born June 29, 1902, Willard "Reuben" born December 18, 1903, Arthur Clifford born September 26, 1906, Dorothy Leona born August 19, 1908 and John Orin born January 7, 1911. They farmed in section 32 in Doyle Township, Barron County, Wisconsin.
Ida, pregnant with her 6th child was not feeling well and laying down. Dorothy (almost 3) and Arthur (almost 5) played near by. Baby John was in his cradle. It is believed the older two children were not in the house at the time. When Ida rose to go to the kitchen, one of the children knocked over a lantern and a fire broke out. They escaped the fire. Ida returned to the house with Ole to help put the fire out, and to grab the youngest son John who was about 6 or 7 months old at the time. Ida was severely burned. She passed away a couple of weeks later, from complications of the burns and a miscarriage due to the trauma. She died on her only daughter's 3rd birthday, Aug 19, 1911. Arthur carried guilt for the rest of his life believing he was the cause of his mother's death. Ida was buried at the Old Sumner cemetery in Sumner Township, Wisconsin. The youngest children, Dorothy and John, were raised for a time with their grandmother Alvina (Schmeling) Pieper, she was Ida's mother. The older two boys, Jasper and Reuben remained with their father. Arthur went to live with his Aunt Marie (Moin) Ward.
Her husband Ole, planted asparagus on her grave because she loved it so. Dorothy remembered her grandmother asking her to walk to the Sumner cemetery to pick the asparagus. Many years later when Jasper was dying, he confessed the story his father Ole had told him about removing his mother from the cemetery and burying her on their home place. Her headstone remains at the Old Sumner cemetery near her parents. She lies in an unmarked grave in a private cemetery now recorded at Barron County, WI as the Settler's cemetery located in Doyle township, Barron County WI.
***At the time of her death, it was not permitted for her burial in the family plot which was located in the Pioneer Rest Cemetery in Canton. This was because of her German descent. This cemetery was for the Norwegian settlers and pioneers of the area. That practice changed in later years. Ida was therefore buried in the German Cemetery of Sumner Township in a family plot of her parents John and Alvina (Schmeling) Pieper. This was unfortunate since the Pioneer Rest Cemetery land was donated by her father in law John O Moin.

Thursday evening, August 3rd, while Ole Moin was in the yard milking and Mrs. Moin in the kitchen, their little six year old son went into the bedroom and proceeded to light the lamp, in doing so he set fire to some oil which spilled from the lamp. Upon hearing him scream, Mrs. Moin went into the room and seized the lamp with the intention of throwing it out the window when it exploded throwing the burning oil over her hands and arms. She ran out of the house and threw herself on the ground in an effort to extinguish the fire at the same time calling loudly to her husband, who soon reached her and himself was severely burned in his efforts to extinguish the fire which had caught on her clothing. They both then went to work to extinguish the fire in the house, which thanks to the plentiful supply of water nearby they were able to do after pretty much all of the furniture and clothing had been destroyed. The effort however was to much for Mrs. Moin who became delirious and had to be taken to a hospital at Rice Lake where for several days her life was despaired of.
