Almira Tidd died from congestion of lungs on 27 October 1898 in Oxford, Johnson County, Iowa, at age 64.4,1,2 She was buried in Oxford Cemetery, Oxford, Johnson County, Iowa.4,2
Almira Tidd was also known as Elmira Tidd. Almira Tidd was also known as Alimira Teed. Her son's 1873 birth certificate gives her first name as "Almira". She and Hiram Janes III appeared on the census of 1860 in Northwest Township, Williams County, Ohio, which lists Hiram Janes (mis-indexed as "Jones"), 26, born in Pennsylvania; his wife Almira, 26, born in New York; and their three children, Charles, 7, born in Pennsylvania, Hannah E., 6, born in Michigan, and George, 3, born in Pennsylvania.5 She and Hiram Janes III appeared on the census of 1870 in Smithfield Township, Fayette County, Iowa, which lists Hiram Janes, 37, born in Pennsylvania; his wife Almira, 36, born in Pennsylvania [sic]; and their children, Charles, born in Wisconsin [sic] and Eliza [Hannah E.?], 16, born in Wisconsin [sic]. Apparently their son George, who was 3 years old in the 1860 census, must have died before 1870.6

Almira Janes and Hiram Janes III appeared on the census of 1880 in Little Sioux, Woodbury County, Iowa, which lists Hiram Janes, 46, born in Pennsylvania, both parents born in Vermont; his wife Elmira [sic], 46, born in New York, both parents born in New York; and their nephew Willie Comer (Corner?), 7, born in Illinois, father born in Canada, mother born in Wisconsin.7,8
