Catherine was born in March, 1880.[1] She was the thirddaughter and fifth child of Benjamin Schmidt and Josepha Richarz.
She likely passed away at as an infant.
There are family letters and notes preserved about Bernhard and Josepha and their children. None of them mention Catherine. Given that the three older children are not with their parents, it seems plausible that they may never have been told about her. Hence, it is again plausible that she died in infancy.
