Their marriage was announced in the "Easton Sentinel" issue of Friday, 5 June 1829. The 5 June 1829 issue of the "Northampton Correspondent" shows the bride's name as Catharine "Fenner" of Middle Smithfield Township, Pike County. (It is not known if Catharine first married a Fenner or if this was an error in the newspaper.)

On 19 August 1873, in Tunkhannock, Monroe, Pennsylvania, George died at the age of 69. George died intestate. His widow, Catharine filed a renunciation in September of 1873 turning over administration of the estate to their son, Jacob E. Altemose. In December, 1873 Catharine filed a list of property that she was retaining under her rights as George's widow. Their son, Emery Altemose, who was still a minor over the age of 14, filed a petition requesting a guardian. The court appointed his brother, Perry. At his death, George owned a number of tracts of real estate. Some of the tracts were sold to Jonas Altemose, Jacob Stauffer, Reuben Bonser, and George Bonser to satisfy debts. Several other tracts were sold to sons, George L. and Perry, and son-in-law, Mathias George. These land sales occurred from 1875 to 1878. (Monroe County estate file #686 and orphans court file #849)
