The Anthony Weeky Bulletin Harper County Friday January 7, 1898 The Death of Mrs. Catherman. On Thursday morning, Dec. 30, 1897, at 4:30 o'clock, Mrs. Abigail CATHERMAN departed this life at the home of her son, Daniel Catherman, eight miles southeast of Anthony, at the ripe old aged of 79 years and 8 months. Mrs. Catherman was born in Richland county, Ohio, and moved with her parents to Fulton county, Illinois in 1837. They lived in Fulton county until Mr. Catherman's death. Feb. 20, 1897, she came to Harper Co., Kansas to live with her son. She went to bed in the evening in her usual health and about 4:30 o'clock they heard a strange noise from her room and called, mother! mother! and raised her up; but she had past all earthly aid. She was the mother of six children, four of which preceded her to the spirit land. And two are still alive to mourn a mother's loss; Daniel of this county and Maggie BROWN of Cuba, Fulton county, Illinois. Her remains were taken to Cuba, Ill., to be buried by the side of her husband.
