Catherine was born Catherine Fallon to parents unknown in County Galway, Ireland. She was the wife to Patrick Nolan and Henry Frances Marston; she was the mother to, Margaret Nolan, Timothy Nolan, Mary Nolan, Thomas Nolan, Frances Marston Collins, Henry Frances Marston Jr., Nellie Marston Nelk, and John Joseph Marston; she was the step mother to William Marston, Charles Marston, Orson P. Marston, and Sarah Marston Armstrong.
Catherine was born in County Galway, Ireland on July fourth eighteen thirty-four. At the age of eight, Catherine immigrated through the port of New Orleans with her older sister. They made their way through Cincinnati, and through various cities in America before landing in Maine. Catherine found Patrick Nolan, whom she married and had Margaret, Timothy and Mary Nolan with. She found security with her new family, but the lure and luster of California was too great throughout America. In 1861, Patrick set his eye for California in search for gold and riches. He successfully secured a position working of the Governess Dana for the California Steam Navigation Company enough to send for Catherine, Timothy and their new infant daughter, Mary by the summer of 1862; which was only a handful of months after he had left Maine.
After arriving in San Francisco August 18, Catherine found herself widowed, as Patrick drowned in the Sacramento River the day she and the children arrived. On top of the suffering of losing Patrick upon arriving to California, Mary, on the voyage from the East, died a three days after they had set sails to the West.
In Fall 1862, she migrated to Sacramento with her son, Timothy. She soon found work, and was neighbor to the not-so-yet famous, "Uncle" Mark Hopkins of California's "Big Four". The Hopkins were neighbors of Catherine's in Sacramento in the 1860s. Thomas Nolan accounted as a young boy playing with his older brother, Tim, in the feild between their homes. Thomas also stated, Catherine was better situated financially than the Hopkins were at that time. There has been controversy over the fact that Mary and Mark Hopkins stole young Timothy from Catherine, which was not the case. Catherine gave Mrs. Hopkins the right to raise Timothy under the pretense she allow him the opportunity of the highest education offered.
Catherine met Henry Marston before the Fall of 1868, who was a Woodland local who owned and operated fruit orchards. Henry supplied fruit to the Hopkins, and eventually after his many trips, Catherine and Henry, married May 2, 1869. Thomas Nolan, and three of Henry's children from a previous marraige all lived together in Cacheville.
It wasn't long after until children were born to Catherine and Henry. The first, Frances Collins 1869; then, Henry Marston Jr. 1873; then, Nellie Marston Nelk 1875; finally, John Joseph Marston 1877.
Catherine and Henry moved their family to the city of Woodland by the turn of 1890.
Catherine gave up her fight, and on August 25, 1903, she died from cirrhosis of the liver. She was an invalid for close to a year. It was thought once she became bed ridden, that she would live no more than a few weeks, but she held on for close to a year.
Forever in our hearts. Rest in Peace.
