Catherine was born in Sandusky, Ohio, the daughter of Jacob and Sarah Grames. As a young girl, she traveled with her parents via wagon to her family's new home in Alexandria, Minnesota.
At the age of 16, Catherine married a much older man, Alvin Hovey Lincoln, a Civil War veteran, and the couple resided first at Osakis, Minnesota. Catherine had four children with Alvin: Carrie May, Minnie Alice, Alma Laura, and Fred.
Alvin and Catherine lived on a farm at Wadena, Minnesota, in Leaf River Township. Alvin worked as a farmer and as a taxidermist.
According to Alice Butterfield Lincoln, Fred Lincoln's second wife, Catherine helped Alvin with his taxidermist work, taking care of the small birds.
Fred recalled that his mother "was the type to look out the window all of the time." What must their lives have been like? According to Alice, the family had very little means, especially after Alvin died.
After Alvin's death, Catherine applied for and secured a Civil War widow's pension and moved to Pine River, Minnesota, where her daughter, Minnie, lived.
In her later years, Catherine suffered from kidney disease. She died at Pine River at the age of 51.
