37. Catherine and son. This photo and the accompanying holy card
were found together in Catherine's German prayerbook. The holy card is
from Easter Sunday, April 1912, The Church of Mercy , Buenos Aires. It is
assumed the photo was taken about that time in South America and that this
is one of her younger sons. Comparing facial structure and features to
those of later photos of the younger boys, it is assumed to be son
Jack.
