Clarification of sorts is provided by the F/A/G memorials and headstone photo for her parents (see links below). The HAUSHAHN surname is clearly used.

Likely the "Katharina" was the German origin name and the "Katherine" was the American version. These variations are common in obituaries, headstones, marriage documents, etc. as the names can be spelled in various forms. It appears, based on the parents' headstone, that Elizabeth's maiden surname was HAUSHAHN. ------ Note: A "Leonard and Katherine (Hutzler) Haushahn" family group sheet/lineage item was provided by Dallas G McColley to the Fairfield Public Library genealogy collection and it has been used in part to supplement some of the Haushahn related family memorials created by this contributor (rkt) as of April 18, 2011. Dallas' research into that Haushahn lineage was very thorough, although it should be noted that the spelling of the first name for Elizabeth's mother on the headstone is "Katharina", which is probably the original German name. Elizabeth's obituary and Dallas' lineage material use "Katherine". ------ Married August Adami on April 24, 1883. Children: Anna, Grace, and Ida have been identified as being daughters of August and Elizabeth ADAMI. Presumably Anna and Grace are the two daughters referred to in Elizabeth's obituary as having preceded her in death. -------- Fairfield Ledger Fairfield, Jefferson County, Iowa May 25, 1962 Pg. 1.
