Biography
She died at home. According to a story told via email by Florence Andrews Walsh (her granddaughter) to Beth Walsh, Nana Rover laid down on the couch one day and died. My Mom Florence was 9 years old at the time and recalls being very traumatized by her death at the time. She was afraid to lay down on couches for many years, thinking this caused her grandmother's death.
Katherine was born in 1877. She passed away in 1945.
