One of Katherine's obituaries incorrectly states that she was born in Illinois, but she was born in Köengswald, Hessen, Germany. She was the eighth child of George and Anna Sophia Heisner (Heussner).
Two brothers, Paul and Peter emigrated to America before she was born and Katherine and her family would follow in 1882.
She married George Paul Brandau, a Civil War Veteran, and a widower, when she was 18 years old on April 17, 1893. George and Katherine had three children, George Paul, Walter William, and Laura Sophie.
When Katherine was only 38 years old she became a widow when her 76 year old husband died.
