I just sent you the obit for Catherina Merkle. Some of the dates in the obit do not seem correct, but I copied the obit as written. It said she came to America in 1888 Then said she was married to John Merkle in 1869. I believe she came to America in 1868 & the 1888 date is a newspaper typo. I don't know if you want to just change it in the actual obit or make note that 1888 is the way it was typed in the obit.
Catherina had 10 children, 9 living in 1900.
