Comments by her grand daughter Anne Louise (Ellenberger) Hayashi in Aug 2011
"Kitty was indeed a beautiful lady when she was young. I understand that my grandfather and she were on a sleigh ride, the sleigh tipped over, and my grandfather fell on her. Evidently, it ruptured her gallbladder, and she died during the operation, where they found nothing but a stump left of it."
"I have also heard that when Kitty married Grandfather that she was disowned by her family, who was quite wealthy. I also remember hearing that her family then volunteered later to put the children through college, but were turned down."
After her death Andrew remarried and all 3 of these folks are resting together now in the Sherrett Cemetery.
