Notes

Note H200Kate lived in Fontanna, Pennsylvania, at the time of her brother, Henry's death in 1913 and brother, Lewis's death in 1920.

Evidence points to Daniel as her husband, i.e., burial in Campbelltown United Christian Cemetery in Campbelltown, PA. This is the same cemetery where her brothers, Aaron and Abraham are buried. However, this Catherine's tombstone gives her birthdate as 1851. She appears with her family in the 1850 census, age 4, in the 1860 census as age 11; 1870, age 20. The Kate Spahr, wife of Daniel, was age 49, born in Feb. 1851 according to the 1900 census, but in the 1910 census she was 62. Daniel was born in 1857, so she may have fudged on her age over the years. I have not found them in the 1880. According to the 1900 and 1910 censuses, they would have been married in 1880. Catherine's father died in 1876 and her mother in 1852.
