Person:Catherine Cahill (2)

She married Edgar Franklin Imhoff, 26 Dec 1936, in Riverside, Burlington NJ US. Catherine was only three years old when her father died at home. The next morning her sister Margaret went into her bedroom to tell her father had gone away and wouldn't be back. Margaret said Catherine was too young to understand and she grabbed Margaret's had and led her through the house looking for her father. Margaret had to open all the closet doors and look under the bed to show her father wasn't hiding on her. The day of the funeral Margaret told me she and Uncle Stephen O'Brien were walking down the church isle holding young Catherine's hands, and at this time she made a promise to God that she would always protect Catherine. She kept her promise until she died in 1985. Catherine was always a visitor to the Buffalo area. She and her Uncle jack's daughters Mary and Kate would have great times as children. Catherine finished high school in Riverside and she went on to Temple University in Philadelphia, PA for a teaching degree. Catherine taught school in Riverside, NJ. During the mid 1930's she meet and fell in love with Edgar "Bud" Imhoff. They were wed in 1936 and soon had a home built down the street from her mother and Margaret.. Bud and Catherine were very proud of their home. Bud was stricken with Cancer and died in 1963. Catherine missed him dearly and never a day went by that she didn't talk about her Dear Bud. After Bud's death, Catherine continued to teach and she made a trip to Ireland. This was something she always wanted to do and she finally did. She stayed in Ennis at the Old Ground Hotel and hired a taxi service to take her out to the O'Brien farm in Killernan. There she found a nice neat white thatched cottage with James O'Connor and his family living there. They were very good to her and made her visit very memorable. She also visited her cousins the Cahills and Sextons on her visit. One summer holiday Catherine visited Buffalo with her cousin Mary Ryan Hartigan and sister, Margaret Cahill. Catherine wanted Mary Hartigan to meet all the O'Brien cousins. I remember being on my best behavior this day with all those "proper" ladies and my Aunt Mary, Sister Aloysia
