Thomas was a third born child and son of:
Dr. Joel DeWitt (1816 - 1890)
and
Rachel Ann Mairs (1823 - 1912).
Thomas married:
1. Mary McDonald in 1877 in California
Mary died in 1888 probably in or near San Francisco, California. Her burial location is undetermined. Probably her remains are next to Thomas' in the Columbarium since he is registered with two niches in the Notus room on the ground floor.
2. Sarah E "Sadie" Rapp in 1891.
In 1929 Sarah visited France to view her son's grave in Oise-Aisne American Cemetery. Their son Hugh Byron Dewitt is buried there after he was killed during WWI. (See link below.)
She was living in San Anselmo, Marin Co, California in the 1930 census.
She died in 1932 in Marin County, California and her remains were sent back to Iowa where she was buried with other members of the Rapp family. (See her link below.)

Passes Away by far off Pacific
Dr. Bryon DeWitt, a former Sullivan County boy dies Saturday, Feb'y 20, 1904.
Warren McCullough received a telegram from Dr. Wallace DeWitt Sunday announcing the sad news of the death of Dr. Thomas Bryon DeWitt in San Francisco, Cal., Saturday, Feb 20, 1904...
Dr. "By" DeWitt as he was known here, was the son of the late Dr. Joel DeWitt and Mrs. Rachel A. DeWitt. He was born in Sullivan County Aug 25, 1848 on the old home place near Reger, MO, and was reared to manhood in this county.
1888 Biography:
1888 History of Adair, Sullivan, Putnam and Schuyler counties, Missouri, from the earliest times to the present : together with sundry personal, business and professional sketches and numerous family records
His son, T. Byron DeWitt, now residing in San Francisco, Cal., is also a member of the medical fraternity, and was born the 25th of August, 1848, in Sullivan County, Mo., upon the farm now owned by his uncle, Thomas Mairs. After attending the public schools of Milan a few years, he became a student at the State Normal School at Kirksville, and was a member of the first graduating class of that institution, leaving its shelter forever in June, 1870. The following fall and winter he attended a course of lectures at the State University of Michigan, and in the winter of 1871-72 attended a second course at Rush Medical College, Chicago, where he received the degree of doctor of medicine, February 17, 1872. On the 5th of March, the same year, he commenced the practice of his profession in Hutchinson, Kansas, and three years later started for California, arriving at San Francisco, March 12, 1875. From April 17, 1875, to the present he has continuously and successfully practiced medicine at the last named place, and is steadily becoming one of the well-known and prosperous physicians there. March 27, 1877, he married Mary McDonald, who was born in Wallace, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, November 12, 1854, and is the only daughter of James and Margaret McDonald. Both the Doctor and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church, and the former is a member of the following secret societies: California Lodge, No. 1, F. 4 A, M., Chapter, No. 5, and Commandery, No. 1, of the same order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Island Temple, K. of P. Lodge, No. 5, and the Ancient Order of Foresters. In the latter society he has been honored with the highest office in the order upon the Pacific Coast, that of District Chief Ranger.
In 1900 his business address was 1196 Kentucky St, San Francisco. This was also the address of the Nuevo Pharmacy. Kentucky St has since been renamed 3rd St. The pharmacy was located at the intersection of 19th St. The 1899 Sanborn Insurance map for the area shows the drug store.
FINALLY, as can be seen in the Columbarium listing for Thomas, his remains seem to be in an area called the "Notus 3rd". Any help with this is appreciated. I am impressed that the Columbarium survived the earthquake so well.
