Dr. Beck gives a brief synopsis of Hugh and Catherine Donnelly's family: "Hugh and Catherine Donnelly had seven children: Mary Gertrude, born in 1880, died when she was eleven; Bridget Ellen, born in 1881, died when she was sixteen; Joseph, born around 1882, died in infancy; Catherine Donnelly born on 26 February 1884, lived until she was ninety-nine; Thomas Ambrose, born in 1888, died in 1892 from sunstroke. (He was the only sibling for whom Catherine listed a cause of death.) Elizabeth Theresa (Tess) was born in 1890 and died at the age of seventy-four; Mary Loretto (Sister Justina CSJ), the youngest child, born in 1894, was eighty-seven when she died in 1981. Sister Catherine's grandparents, her parents, and five of her brothers and sisters are all buried on a knoll marked by a fine tombstone in the little cemetery adjacent to the Church."
