Thank you for helping me in the past regarding Samuel Week and his wife Eliza Jane Secor. I have since learned more about Eliza Jane and her time spent at Mt. Pleasant Mental Health Institute (1896-1932). She had chronic mania.

While one mystery was solved, others surfaced and I am hoping you can help again.

1)I can not find the death date of Eliza's daughter Emma E. Weeks (b April 13, 1888). Her name is engraved with her birth date on a head stone in Goldenrod Cemetery, Deep River, Iowa, with an unrelated couple James and Cora Athey. She lived with them as a servant and border after 1915.

2)Hospital records on Eliza reveal that she gave birth to twins on July 1, 1895, just over a year before she entered the Hospital. The notation in the admittance record indicate that the twins were still alive in 1896. I can not find the birth records, names, nor genders. Because that is missing, I can't find their death.

I hope you can help. Thank you!
