Katherina was likely born to Johann Georg and Eva Menges (nee Rieß) in Beerfelden, Hessen, Germany. Her death certificate says she was born July 26, 1848 which can not be correct. I know for a fact she had her 1st child in 1857. Her documented DOBs are:
1860 Census - 1836
1870 Census - 1834
1880 Census - 1838
I have search extensively for her in the 1900 census, as this would provide a month and year, but I can not find her. She is not with any of her children, and not at the addresses listed in the 1899, 1900 or 1901 Milwaukee directories.
Her sister Barbara was born in 1830, and there was a Katherina born to the same parents Nov 3, 1838, but there is very little evidence this is the correct family. My best 'guess' is that the day and month on her death certificate are correct, but the year is a decade off.
She came to the US and was living in St. Louis, MO. Katherina married Adam Brandau Mar 8, 1858 in St. Louis. In June 1860, when her daughter Anna died they were living near Jackson St. and Barry St. Anna was buried at the St Vincent de Paul Church, very nearby, so one might assume this was their church. They had at least 10 children:
Maria Josephine born Jul 14, 1857 in St. Louis (drown 1872 in Milwaukee, WI)
Anna born Dec 1859 (died Jun 2, 1860 buried St Vincent de Paul Church, St Louis)
Adam Jr #1 born Feb 1861 in St. Louis (died Oct 28, 1861 in St. Louis)
George T born Jun 24, 1862 in Milwaukee, WI (died 1921 Milwaukee, WI) married Bertha Grunert
Pauline Mary born Jan 1, 1864 in Milwaukee, WI (died between 1926 to 1929 in Milwaukee, WI) married Robert Grunert
John Charles born Apr 26, 1867 in Milwaukee, WI (died about 1890 in Milwaukee, WI)
Adam Jr #2 born Feb 6, 1870 in Milwaukee, WI (died before 1880)
Michael Frank born Aug 18, 1872 in Milwaukee (died 1946 in Milwaukee) married Lizzie Stoltz
Angela (Annie) born 1877 in Milwaukee married Frank Siegfried Jr in 1895. Frank Jr filed for divorce in 1897 and shows as being a widow on the 1900 census, but this doen't mean that Annie died. The 5/31/1900 death associated to her is not correct. Frank Jr remarried in 1902.
Ida Anna born Jul 15, 1879 in Milwaukee (died 1880 in Milwaukee)
Between Nov 1861 and Jan 1862, she and Adam moved to Milwaukee, WI. Her husband Adam died Feb 5, 1888. She died Mar 10, 1904 and was buried the next day.
