Alpharetta died in Elizabethtown (or Liztown). Not currently a town today. It is just a general area in southern Anderson County near Colony, KS that is locally known as the Liztown area. She is buried in Ozark #1 cemetery next to her husband, Thomas G. Pitchford. Ozark #1 is locally called the Liztown Cemetery.
Alpharetta died of measles. Thomas and Alpharetta's 2 month old son, also named Thomas, was living with some family friends in the 1880 census and had measles at the time of the census. He died probably not long after the census was taken, as he is nowhere to be found after 1880. Two of their older boys, Wesley and Alva, are living with Alpharetta's siblings, Rosa Johnson Bain and Allen Johnson. Wesley and Alva both survived to adulthood. An older son, Jesse W., was 2 yrs old in 1875 but he's gone by 1880. I don't know whether he also died of the measles outbreak or if he died of something else sometime earlier.
