Catherine Strickland was a warm hearted woman, faithful to her husband through good times and bad. She never hesitated when called upon to take over responsibility of raising her sister's child, Susan McGraw. Susan was always treated as one of the family. In later years she was called Aunt Becky or Aunt Sudie. She moved to Florida in 1889 with her husband and family. Catherine died while living in Homestead, Florida near her son, Anon. She is buried beside her husband in the Dade City Cemetery in Pasco County, Florida.
