Family tradition is that Catherine is buried on the family farm in Custer Co., NE. Gentry Co. Library, Stanberry, MO. October 15, 2001 The Herald, Stanberry, Mo. July 30, 1914 Obituary---Henry Groff received word that his mother was dead. She died in Illinois at the home of her daughter, where she went a year ago. She only lacked two days of being 95 years old. She was buried on her birthday. She was born in Lengester county, PA., in 1819 and went from there to Illinois; from there to Iowa; from there to Nebraska, Custer county; there her husband died, then she lived with her children, and during her last year she made her home with Henry Groff, and came with him to Stanberry; a little over a year ago went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Wilson, at Lewistown, Ill. She was the mother of 12 children and raised 3 grandchildren. She has 44 grandchildren, 74 great grandchildren and 9 great, great grandchildren. In the early days she united with what was known as the Free Will Baptist church. She would tell how she and her husband would walk to church and carry their children. When she lived with her children in Nebraska she united with the Lutheran church and after coming to live in Missouri she united with the Christian church at Stanberry. She had been blind for about 5 years, but seemed to be happy. She was kind and affectionate. She would sing and then with a sigh, if I were in heaven I would not be here and it won't be long. Remember the first commandment with the promise, "Honor thy father and mother that thy days shall be long on earth."
