Everyone in the home was a native of Ohio. Catherine had given birth to two children, both of whom were still living, according to the census. Both children attended school. The census states that when they were first married, John and Catherine were 18 and 13 years old, respectively (abt 1880). If true, this would mean there was a nine-year gap between the marriage and the birth of their first child.

The family still lived on a farm in Center Twp., Monroe County ten years later. The household consisted of John (47), Cathrine (43), Clemence A. (20), and Aney H. (18). According to the 1910 census, John and Catherine had been married for 23 years. This puts their marriage date around 1887.

By 1920, the children had moved on. John (57) and Catherine (52) lived by themselves on their farm in Center Twp.

From death certificate:

Age: 62 years 3 months 18 days
Birth: 14 Aug 1862, Monroe Co., Ohio
Occupation: Farmer
Marital status: Married
Spouse: Elizabeth Haren

It is not known why John's death certificate lists his wife's name as Elizabeth, in view of the fact that his wife was the informant for the death certificate.

Sources conflict on date of birth:
05 Apr 1867 -- Hartley
05 Apr 1868 -- Haren

In 1930, widow Catherine Haren (63) lived with her daughter and son-in-law in Canton, Ohio.
