Biography

Katharina (Wittman) Kreutzer was a Volga German.

Anna Katharina Wittman was born in 1806, Rohleder (Raskaty) Russia, and died after 1880, Liebenthal, Kansas. She was a widow on the 1880 census living in son John's household.^[1]

[There is a death date of 25 April 1908, in the Die Liebenthaler Und Ihre Kirche and the Liebental, Russia A Genealogy of the Village 1874] Katherine would have been 102 if she died in 1908? She is found in the 1880 census age 72 (1808) widowed, living with son John Kreutzer family, but no other census records could be found for her. It is most likely someone got the year wrong, probably was 1888.]^[2]
