Parent of two children, Lucia [Lucy], b.1841, and Nicholas, b.1843. She traveled to America on the ship Henry Reed in June 1855; purchased land in Montpelier Township, Muscatine, Iowa, close to her sister Margaretha Goergen Kallenbach's farm just over the line in Sweetland Township. Ownership of this farm passed to son Nicholas in c.1870. Catharina died in the city of Muscatine in 1879; her husband is shown as a widower in the 1880 U. S. Census. No official record of her death has yet been located, but she did leave a will, which went through Probate Court. Those records are available. Family history implies that she was buried in Krell Cemetery, near her former farm in Montpelier Township, and that her husband was later interred alongside her; local historians have not located these stones, but say that numerous markers have been lost or obliterated over the years. Another possibility is that she is buried in the Catholic Cemetery in the city of Muscatine; her family were parishioners at the original St. Matthias Church there.
