Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Catharina Anna Schott

At the time of the 1910 census, 27 year old Catherine Burkhart lived in Noble County Ohio with her infant son Robert in the household of her father, Jacob Schott. Catherine is listed as married (not widowed) for two years. She has one child, who is still living.

The 1930 census states that Catherine's age at first marriage was 32, which would put the marriage around 1915. This coincides with her second marriage, to William Crum.

A summary of Katie's obituary was sent to FuldaOhio.com by Pat Willaman, a genealogist with no connection to Fulda, who came across it while researching another family.
