Katharine Feick
ID # 8180, (1867-1955)
| Father | John Feick (1837-1925) |
| Mother | Margaretha Schaefer (1833-1915) |
| Birth | Katharine Feick was born in 1867. |
| Marriage | She married Burkhardt Bender on 28 February 1888 at Normanby Twp., Grey Co.. Mrge reg. 003904-88 Normanby Twp., Grey Co. Burkhard Bender, 24, bachelor, farmer. Evangelical Association. Born Woolwich, Waterloo Co., residing Wallace (Twp.), Perth Co. Parents Burkhard and Elizabeth Bender. Katharina Feick, 21, spinster, Evangelical Association. Born and residing Normanby. Parents John and 'Veronika' Feick. Witnesses Otto Koenig and Sophia Feick, both of Normanby. On 28th February, 1888, at Normanby, by George Finkbeiner. As will be noted, Katharine's mother was Margaretha,or Margaret, Schaefer. Katharine did have a sister Veronika, or Veronica. We must consider the entry of Veronika as the given name for Katharine's mother to be an error, almost certainly on the part of the clergyman. Should a church record at some point surface, the same error will likely be there. See notes for Katharine to consider the evidence that this is in fact an error. |
| Death | She died in 1955. |
| Burial | She was buried at Fairview Cemetery, Listowel, Perth Co.. |
| Note | Katharine's marriage registration shows her mother to be Veronika. Her mother was Margaretha, or Margaret. Katharine did have a sister Veronika. Based on the evidence, we must believe this to be an error on the part of the clergyman. Should a church record of the marriage be found the same error will almost certainly be there. There is one piece of evidence to contradict the above and that has to do with the death of John Feick, Katharine's father, in 1925 in Wallace Township. The informant in John's death was Leroy Bender, John's grandson. Census information tells us that Leroy Bender was the son of Burkhardt Bender and Katharine Feick. Add to that, John Feick, who died in 1925, is buried with Margaret in Evangelical United Brethren Cemetery in Normanby. John and Margaret's full names are given, though, it seems, in their original form, for John is shown as Johannes and Margaret as Margaretha. Her maiden name is shown as Schaefer. And, going by census information, these indeed are Katharine's parents. |
