In 1910 there was only one Lloyd DeWitt in Oblong. I couldn't find him in any census after 1910. I don't think this is the right one either as he died in 1928 in Nebraska.He had no son James in 1920.

Maybe?

I found this "Johnnie" in 1920.

They lived in Fulton Co, Il in 1910. I couldn't find them in 1930. Since he worked for the RR he probably moved around a lot.
Sorry I couldn't be more precise.
