The Historic Moms of German Village
Catherine Abel
Catherine is an example of quiet strength and courage. She was born on April 25 1838, and married John in May of 1855. She raised four of her five children alone while John served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He did return to her and they had a long and,we are sure, loving marriage.
