Facts and Events
The 1900 census of the United States lists Catherine O'Brien Dowling and her husband as living on Sarah Street, Kaukauna, Outagamie County, Wisconsin. The records states that she immigrated in 1864. The census states she was 63 years old in June 1900 and was born in July 1836. Thomas Dowling and Catherine O'Brien were married 34 years for the census records so should have been married in 1866; I presume in Iowa. I think they were married in 1865 because of the baptism record from St. Martin's RCC, Cascade, Iowa. The record recorded "Thomas Dowlan and Catherine Dowlan" as Godparents to her nephew, Thomas Reddin in 17 May 1865. The first official records for Catherine is the 1870 census taken on 2 July 1870 in the 5th. City Ward of Oskosh, in the County of Winnebago, Wisconsin. There she was living with her husband, Thomas, son, James and daughter Mary A. Dowling. The Kaukauna, Wisconsin newspaper carried the following death notice for Catherine O'Brien Dowling.
