       Katherine Poe was born in Illinois, but came to Webster City after she grew to young womanhood. She was a milliner for a time and then kept house for the late J. D.

The family came her in 1848.

       NB: With this obituary is a date of September 09, 1939. I do not know if it is the date of death or the date of publication of the obituary. Thus, I have indicated 1939 as the year of death. This date is on the marker in Brewer Park of the date of Katherine Poe Brewer's death.
