Her age is listed in the 1920 census as 4 4/12. I estimated her birth date as 1916 but it could be 1920 & that she was 4 months old. Will correct if necessary when I find other sources.
I believe the obituary sourced to be her. In her father's obit on findagrave it lists her as Beatrice Garvey. On her sister Della's findagrave page, it lists a Beatrice Schmidt. It lists her as Beatrice C. Schmidt which would explain Catherine Schetrompf in the 1920 census. Upon closer look at the 1920 census, it could possible list Beatrice but the first letter definitely looks more like a C rather than a B. The rest could go either way.
I believe Beatrice to have been married twice, first to a James Garvey & second to a Frank Schmidt, who is listed in the obituary. Her son's surnames were Garvey. In her sister Marguerite's obituary from find-a-grave, she is listed as Beatrice Schmidt so sometime before 1973, he married the second time.
