Ida Luttman appears
on the scarce Wurlitzer Rolla-Artis label in both solos and duets,
primarily raggy popular songs.
She was the
daughter of German immigrants. Her father died early and in the 1900
census she is living with her mother and siblings in North Tonawanda
with her grandfather, a farmer.
A graduate of the
North Tonawanda High School, she married Elks Club music arranger
and choir director Leon Myron Folmsbee (1888-?) on 17 May 1921, and
had two sons, Bert Hartley (1922-2003) and Glen Louis (1923-?)
In the 1930
census, the family are living in North Tonawanda with Ida's parents.
Ida has no profession and Leon is shown as a 'roll maker - piano
factory' (undoubtedly WurliTzer)
