Catherine Smith was the oldest in a large family of Irish immigrants to New Brunswick. (See her 1851 Census entry courtesy of her descendant, HCT). Catherine married just before her 26th birthday to a widower almost eleven years older than her. They lived in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, and by 1856 in Calais, Maine. The children of the first marriage apparently did not live with them.

She is not mentioned in her father's 8 August 1860 will perhaps because she was married and provided for?

She had six children, one of whom passed away four years after her marriage. Another died of tuberculosis at age 19, and another was lost at sea as a young man. Her husband had volunteered for army service, leaving her alone for almost three years, returning less than a year before she herself passed away. It must have been a hard life.

That life came to an end early in 1866, when she passed away of tuberculosis. She was only 40. "Cathrine Loring buried Mar 3, 1866; age 40 yrs." There is no marker in the Calais, Maine, cemetary.

Just as had happened to her step children, her own surviving children were divided up and distributed among relatives. Walter, probably the youngest, later disappeared after leaving his employer "out west" as a young man.
