FAG: From Griswold Iowa Newspaper: DEATH COMES TO MRS. WINTERSTEIN Aged Resident of Griswold Died Saturday Evening. Saturday evening about six - thirty, Mrs. Catherine Winterstein, aged resident of Griswold, mention of whose illness had been in these columns from time to time, passed into the last sleep--the sleep that knows no awakening in this world. She suffered a stroke of paralysis some weeks ago and from the very first it was known that there were no hope of her ever recovering. Her children were called to her bedside and they have been with her most of the time she had been ill. During her last illness she was a very patient sufferer. As had been her custom all through her long and eventful life she was ever considerate of those who ministered to her. Catherine Louisa Burnett was born in Wayne County, Ohio, January 11,1846, and at the time of her death had reached the age of 82 years, 3 months and 10 days. Her parents died when she was a young girl. She grew to womanhood in her native state and the family moved to Cedar county, Iowa, where she was united in marriage on June 10th, 1869, to William Winterstein.

Soon after the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Winterstein they moved to Montgomery County, Iowa.
