Granddaughter of a Methodist minister, Ina was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Duley. She wrote: "My father went with my mother to her church after his marriage to her, so I was brought up in the church of the Disciples of Christ." She attended Greer College in Hoopston, Illinois, and taught in Illinois schools. In 1896 she married James W. Ogdon and they moved to Toledo in 1900.
