You all have talked about Agnews and I thought maybe that is where my Isabelle Gordon died. In her tiny obit it states she died at home, but I am positive she might have went insane at some point. Had an affair on her husband, he killed her lover, then he was free and took the boys away from her. This happened in PA, then she went back home to San Jose and lived with her parents. She died in 1885, was there any asylum at that point in San Jose or Santa Clara County? Its just a suspicion I have that she may have been institutionalized. She was only 35 when she died.
