Note: Birth date is baptism date as no birth records found
Son James birth certificate shows name spelled Kathryn and that she was from Cork, Ireland.
Kendall County Record for 1912 obituary for John Foran reports she is the sister.
Still need to find death certificate, which may be in Cook County. Possible one found 1888 death, no info on parents listed.
The Forans were located because of researcher Liz Kirchgatter who located a Ship Susan from 1804 from Dublin which had a Foran on board from Monasterevin.
The following new article is provided as support that Catherine is related to the attached Foran family:
John FORAN,
Born in Ireland, May 24, 1844, died in Plainfield, May 14, 1912. Sixty years in Illinois.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
John Foran, son of the late James and Mary Foran, passed away quietly at his home in Plainfield Monday evening, Mat 13, 1912. Death was due to asthma.
Deceased was born in Ireland and when 7 years of age came to America with his parents, foru brothers and two sisters, William, Peter, Edward, Philip, Mary (Mrs. McCormick) and Kate (Mrs. Reardon). William of Troy is the only surviving member of that family.
The family moved to Wilmington over fifty years ago, where a few years were spent. They the moved to Seward, where the greater part of his life was lived, a few years being spent in Na-au-say. Four years ago he retired, moving to the Marks home in Plainfield. He was married to Margaret Hayes of Wilmington about forty-eight years ago.
A widow and eight children survive; five sons and three daughters, as follows: James, Frank and John of Joliet, Albert and William of Seward, Mrs. Florence Drauden near Caton Farm, Mrs. Lillian Upton and Evelyn of Plainfield, Mrs. Mary Morrissey, another daughter preceded her father about seventeen years ago.
The funeral was held Friday morning at 8:30 from the home to St. Mary's church, Plainfield. Father Epstein delivered a very impressive funeral sermon. The remains were interred in Mt. Olivet cemetery, Joliet.
Our pioneer residents are gradually passing away. It makes this world lonely fro those that remain but we should rest content with the thought that our heritage lies yonder, beyond the setting sun, where we expect to meet our dear departed when we too come to the close of this life.
