  Catharine Musselman, "was born November 3rd, 1857. She is unmarried and is engaged in the J. Y. Shantz & Son Button Company's factory." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. _______________________________ SHERK.-On the 1st of Feb. 1903, the remains of Catharine, wife of Moses Sherk of Michigan, and daughter of David and Polly Musselman, were laid to rest in the burial grounds at the Berlin (Ont.) Mennonite M.H. The house was filled to overflowing, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held. She had contracted a cold some time ago, which developed into pneumonia, from which she died, aged 46 Y., 3 M., 26 D. Her husband, in response to his companion's dying request, brought the remains from their home in Michigan to the old home in Berlin, from where the funeral took place. Services in English by D.B. Shenk and in German by Samuel Bowman. HERALD OF TRUTH, Vol. XL, No. 7, February 12, 1903 - pg 55
