Regarding location of grave-if Catherine is in S-35, Marker #20 then she is buried next to her father. There is another wife (name unknown) buried in S-31, Marker 16.

Dr. Seamans' journals list two wives of Martin Rust (no names) and three children (no names) buried between.

Martin Van Buren Rust more or less moved on to Haskell County Oklahoma after the death of Catherine. He married Catherine in 1868 in Sebastian County and they had two known /named children: Martin Van Rust, Jr. and Lemuel Wesley Rust. Catherine might have died from complications of birth to Lemuel. The other 3 children that are buried next to her are probably hers.

He married Lucy Ann Gregory in 1884 and had many more children with Lucy.
