Excerpts from a BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH - CATHARINE WATSON DAY by M. Alice (Day) Marston
Catharine Watson Day, wife of John Day of Royalton Township, Niagara County, N. Y. was a very fine, strong character. She was a tall, handsome woman with regular features and fine complexion. She had very fine, dark hair, almost black, which was but slightly gray at the time of her death, when she was over seventy-nine years old.
When she was married, at the age of twenty-two, she weighed one hundred and forty pounds, and was well proportioned. Her brothers and her sister Sarah, all were tall and broad shouldered. Her four other sisters died before I was born, so I know little about them.
In 1892 she sold her home in Gasport and in October of that year moved to Seward, Illinois to make her home with her only surviving child, Dudley Watson Day. She died there of old age, May 23, 1895, and was buried at Orangeport, N. Y. on the same lot as her husband and three of their four children.
