Catherine, daughter of Peter and Betsy Bish, was joined in marriage in Montgomery, Virginia on 24 Jan 1826 to John Cain with whom she spent 63 years of happy wedded life.

They moved from Virginia to Shelby Co., Ohio, in 1832 and then in the fall of 1835 they moved to Indiana and settled on the farm in Pleasant township where she died.

Catherine Cain lived to see the fourth generation; she was the mother of 13, grandmother of 69 and great-grandmother of 55. She embraced religion and was a charter member of the Methodist Protestant church at Mount Olive.

Catherine's funeral sermon was preached Sabbath morning, January 29, 1888, in the Mount Olive United Methodist Church in Marion by Rev. G.E. Lancaster, from Hebrews 11, 14-16, to a large congregation of neighbors and friends.

Cemetery records state that she is buried by the side of her husband but no grave marker has been found.
