Althiza is listed on the 1870 MO census, Johnson Co., Chilhowee
Township. Her name is misspelled--Lethissa--and she is listed as
being insane. This is shortly after the death of her fifth baby,
James Franklin Deen. She is also found in the 1870 MO census in
Calloway County, Fulton Township. Further research finds that there
was a state mental hospital there at the time. Speculation on
researcher's part that she was committed there before Isaac and two
daughters moved south to Henry or St. Clair Co. It was an accepted
story in the Loyd family that Althiza died and was buried and in
Iowa, and that she never came to Missouri, but research has shown
this not to be true.
