Catherine is buried in the same grave with her husband John. She was only 53 when she died.
*In searching for what Phshisis Convulsions is, several sources mention Tuberculosis is one form of it, but not the other way around. The Edinburgh Medical Journal p. 217 (1867) it was most deadly and comparative with Bronchitis, Pneumonia and Scarlatina, having the highest register of 51,284 deaths in 1854 in England. The word means "wasting" and applies to many diseases.
