Catherine Gerhardt Plymouth Review August 12, 1916
A protracted illness caused by a complication of diseases, resulted in the demise of Mrs. Jacob Gerhardt, one of the best known residents of the county, at her home here. The news of her passing came as a distinct shock to a host of friends throughout the county as she was a woman widely known. Her strength of character, combined with a kindly way that drew one to her, has caused her to be loved by many, and her untimely end is a severe blow to many.
She was a loving wife and mother, and her home life was all that was beautiful. All about are evidences of her handiwork, in every nook and corner there was that intangible touch that made the place where she dwelt, home. Hospitable and generous not only to her own family, but to those strangers who might come to her doors as well, she was beloved and revered by all she met. She was a member of the Evangelical church and her life was always influenced by the teachings of the Bible. Hers was a Christian life that has been well lived. Her time on earth has been well spent, about her are evidences that she has worked hard and successfully, rearing a family that reflect their mother's worth. Her labors are done, she will toil no more, but instead will realize the reward she has so richly earned, in a better land.

She lived there until she was eighteen years old and then come to this village where she was employed for some time, later going to Milwaukee where she worked for a number of years. In 1889 she returned to the village and her marriage to Jacob Gerhardt was solemnized at the home of his parents, on June 23rd of that years. The couple have since made their home here, Mr. Gerhardt at one time conducting a butcher shop, but of late years operated the Central House.
Eight children were born to the union, two of whom, Julia and Helen, have died. She is survived by her husband and six children, Lillian, who lives at home. Mrs. E.
