Note: Catherine, her daughter, was the chief nurse at the Tucson TB Sanitarium in
1936 when she met her husband-to-be Bill Wieland. He had gone there for
treatment for lungs damaged by gas attacks during World War 1. After they
married they bought a house in the San Fernando Valley, later buying a fruit
ranch in Fallbrook. Bill died in 1975. They did not have any children.
Considering the fact that her sister had 8, I would have to assume that it
was not because of some family biological deficiency on her part. Catherine
passed away in 1987. None of the children survive. As so often happens, the
first to go was Casper, the youngest, in 1944.
