First name also listed as Idea.

A member of the 1853 Hagans-Cockrill Wagon Train.

"...now a resident of San Rafael." History of Sonoma Co. (1880). It appears that she had been divorced from J. K. Cannon, and in the 1870 and the 1880 Census she is shown living with her parents as Ida Cockrill rather than Ida Cannon.
Obituary (from Rebecca Aileen Cockrill) notice reads as follows:
  Bloomfield, Feb 3.--The funeral of Mrs. J. P. Cannon, who died in San Francisco on Saturday, Jan 31, was held here today, and considering the very inclement weather, was very largely attended. Friends from San Francisco, Santa Rosa, San Rafael, Bodega and other places were in attendance. There were many floral offerings. Mrs. Cannon was the wife of J. P. Cannon. She was formerly Miss Ida Cockrill, daughter of the late L. D. Cockrill of this place, and sister of Mrs. Helen Lake, Mrs. O. H. Hoag, Dr. B. T. Cockrill and the late T. G. and R. L. Cockrill. Mrs. Cannon came with her parents to California from Missouri in 1853, when a small child. They settled in this place where her girlhood days were passed and where the larger portion of her married life was spent. A few years ago she, with her husband, purchased a home in Santa Rosa, where she lived the last few years.
It had fallen to her lot to be placed in charge of a brother and a sister’s children, who were early left without a mother, which place she well and faithfully filled. The love and gratitude of those whom she had kindly and lovingly cared for in early childhood was plainly manifested as they stood around the silent form and felt they could remember nothing but love and kindness from “Aunt Ida.” Of the once large family but three are left, Mrs. Lake, Mrs. Hoag and Dr. Cockrill. Much sympathy is felt for the husband who will so miss her love and companionship. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. W. H. Darden of Petaluma, who delivered an eloquent discourse. The singing by the choir was excellent.

Dearest Ida thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But ’tis God who hast bereft us,
He will all our sorrows heal.
A Friend
