Birth date: As an adult CATHERINE gave herself a little discount when it came to providing her birth year. She is listed on the 1900 census with a birth year of 1851. Her obituary listed her as being 60 yrs., 10 months, and 12 days old on the day of her death. This provides a birth record of 6 May 1848.
Born in Illinois during the California gold rush, CATHERINE was living in San Francisco by the time she was an adult, possibly having moved with her family as a child.
Marriage: 25 June 1877, to JAMES CONLIN/ALBERT WALTON.
She was the second wife of her husband JAMES CONLIN, who at some point adopted the surname of ALBERT WALTON. His Civil War pension papers cite this since he had to apply under his real name of CONLIN, though they do not give an explanation for why he changed his name.
Their known children:
1) George A. Walton - (1879-1937)
2) Richard Albert Walton - (1879-1941)
3) Francis Ann Walton Stark - (1882-1957)
4) Frank Leslie Walton - (1887-1955)
5) Harry Richard Walton - (1890-1956)
Her obituary is from the San Francisco Call, 20 March 1909. Pg. 8.
