Catherine, also spelled "Katherine" was the daughter of Patrick and Anna (Quinn) Spellman.
"Katie" as she was lovingly called by her family was the sister of Martin, John, Mary (Mrs. John Jennings), Sarah (Mrs. William Bagan), Michael, Patrick, and Nora (Mrs. Jacob Ott).
She married George Arthur Smothers October 26, 1910 at St. Bridget's Catholic Church, Simpson, Olmsted Co. Minnesota.
Catherine was the mother of 2 young children when she passed away, Ann Josephine "Jo" (later known as Mrs. Rufus Wm. McAlister), and George Richard "Dick" Smothers.
Catherine's husband George Smothers, for reasons known only to himself, had Catherine interred in an unmarked grave somewhere in or near Fillmore County Minnesota.
Despite years of searching, no one has been able to locate her final resting place.
It is the dream of Catherine's family to someday find her and be able to place a marker at her grave site.
