Elizabeth Puthoff was born in the Maria Stein area. She had several children and lived the hard and lonely life of a farm wife.
At least one of her daughters (ironically the one who lived to be the oldest) suffered from Polycystic kidney disease. Likely Andrew also had it. Statistically, more of Elizabeth's children were affected as well.
Polycystic kidney disease is diagnosable by ultrasound. We think that this genetic disease is from the Puthoff side because Elizabeth is reported to have died at home from the flu and a kidney infection. Severe kidney failure can cause vomiting and other symptoms that might mimic the flu. Likewise, chronic kidney failure can raise your blood pressure and predispose you to heart disease/heart attacks. Additionally, I see one of her brother's grandchildren died from kidney failure in her teens. Polycystic kidney disease is inherited as a dominant trait in humans and cats meaning statistically each child has about a 25% chance of having it and the children of the affected also have a 25% chance of having it (assuming the other parent is not affected).
