- A woman with an 11 month old girl was found on the German ship S.S. Main traveling to Iowa. It is feasible that upon reaching Chicago, she did not have funds to continue to Iowa. The ship arrived 12 Nov 1872 which fits into the timeline of when we think Catherine arrived.
The child's name is Maria which also fits within the age of who we know as Mary Supita.
It is probable that Katherine was pregnant with Frank at the time of her departure to America.
