Catherine Ann Keller Clark was born in Ohio to Abraham and Barbara Mary Rouch Keller, who had begun their lives in Northumberland, Pennsylvania but as many farming families had done, they moved west into Ohio.
She obviously ran the family farm while her husband William went away to the Civil War. She suffered the same
joys and hardships that other rural mothers did when they reared nine children on the very edge of civilization.
After William died, she received a widow's pension. In the 1880 Federal Census we see the widow Catherine who had moved into the household of her daughter Emma E. Clark and her husband, Charles Blackmore. At that report, she was 65 years old and six of her nine children were still alive.
