Hablitzel, (the sister of Emilie, above), was born about July 1878, the daughter of Edward Hablitziel (1842-) and his wife Lena (1854-). Her parents were German immigrants from Wurttemberg. Her father immigrated as a child in 1850, settling in Waterbury, Connecticut, where he found work in a button shop (1880 Census) and later worked as a tool maker (1900 and 1910 Census). The family lived on Main Street. Ida had an older sister Amelia born about 1875, and a younger sister Lucy, born about April 1883. Ida and Lucy, both became public school teachers. In 1897, Ida was appointed to teach sixth grade at the Bishop Street School in Waterbury. Ida is listed as a teacher in the 1900 Census for Waterbury living with her parents and sister Lucy. In 1902, Lucy graduated from the Waterbury Training School for Teachers and became a teacher. Lucy's first job began that year at the Mill Plain School teaching 5th to 7th grades. Lucy and Ida are enumerated in the 1910 and 1920 Census records as public-school teachers. Their father died sometime between 1910 and 1920, as in 1920 only Ida, Lucy and their mother were found enumerated together. Ida Hablitzel died on 18 December 1928, just three years after her last recorded trip. She was 51 years old.The journal records 14 different trips taken by Ida Hablitzel during the years 1902 - 1925. These trips were taken during her summer break from teaching, usually during July and August. Some of the trips are by train, some by automobile. She appears to have always had a traveling companion, usually her sisters Lucy and Emelia (Amelia) and someone named Joseph. Her mother also accompanied her at times. The furthest trips were to Champaign, Illinois and to Florida. There were also short trips to New York City and Brooklyn from her home in Waterbury, or traveling on the Hudson River. Ida made trips to Lake George, and other places in the Adirondacks, or on the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains. On her trip to Florida, she traveled by train to Jacksonville, then by boat, and other trains, or auto bus. She visited Jacksonville, Sanford, Tampa, Brandentown, Sarasota, Orlando, St. Augustine, Daytona, and elsewhere. Quotes from Journal:"Our Trip to IllinoisJuly 9, 1902. We left Waterbury at 8:12 A.M.
