Several people have posted Catharine Deshler's death date/year as 1871. This is incorrect. Both the family bible (in my possession) and her tombstone record her death as February 6, 1862. Catharine was first buried in an unknown cemetery and reinterred next to her husband, James, in 1871 when he died. The Easton Cemetery records do not indicate where she was first buried but her death date on the tombstone is very clear. Also note on the 1870 PA census, Northampton County, Easton, page 79 (stamped #), line 28, that James is living with his son, William Hacket. The fact that Catharine is not listed in 1870 suggests that she is already deceased. Does anyone have any information as to where Catharine was first buried?
