Catharine "Kate" Barnhardt

Notes:

Ruth Marchetti indicates her last name was also shown as Bernhart. Marchetti further indicates that Katherine died between 1885 and 1890, in Kansas. It appears that is incorrect. Don Staton found the following census information from 1900, showing the widowed Kate Striffler, born Jan 1818 in France, living with her daughter, Emma Willis, in Atchison, Kansas.

May have instead been born in Canada to German-speaking parents? (Per 1900 and 1910 census responses for sons Peter Striffler and Frank Striffler)

Family/Spouse: Peter Striffler.
