Catherine Belle Bortel^1,2

Father	Raymond R. Bortel3,2 b. c 29 Jan 1848, d. 2 Jul 1904

29 Apr 2024

Birth*	Catherine, daughter of Raymond R. Bortel and Lydia Ann Andrix, was born on 21 July 1882 in Washington Twp., Henry Co., Ohio. The 1900 census says Aug 1882. Her birth record says 21 Jul 1882. Find A Grave says 29 Aug 1882 though the headstone shows only the year.4,2,1
Marriage*	Her first marriage was to Fnu Spangler before 12 June 1900. Date based on Catherine having surname Spangler, marked married, in the 1900 census of this date.5
Census1900	Catherine appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Washington Twp., Henry Co., Ohio in the household of her parents, Raymond R. Bortel and Lydia Ann Andrix, as 17 yo married daughter Cathrine Spangler.2
Marriage*	Her second marriage was to Ephraim Schall Keslar on 23 January 1907 at Lucas Co., Ohio.6
Marriage*	Her third marriage was to Michael Owen Blue on 13 August 1909 at Wood Co., Ohio.7
Census1910	Catherine appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Napoleon Village, Henry Co., Ohio, as 28 yo widowed sister-in-law Kathryn Kestler in the household of her brother-in-law & sister Carl Michael Reinbolt and Addis Mae "Ada" Bortel; as 25 yo foundry moulder Karl & 21 yo wife May Rheinholt.8
Marriage*	Her fifth marriage was to William W. Montague on 25 November 1921 at Orange Co., California, Catherine's surname is Senny so presumably she had at least one more husband after Blue.9
Death*	Catherine died on 1 February 1952 in Orange Co., California, at age 69.10,1
Burial*	She was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, Los Angeles Co., California.1
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 8 February 2024 re census record. A challenge as currently indexed. In 1910 Catherine is with her sister Mae, claiming widowed, which may be true. I find no Find A Grave memorial for Michael Owen Blue, her husband just before the 1910 census.      In 1920 I find a 36 yo Catherine as lodger in Los Angeles. It's likely this is our woman.      In 1930 I find a divorced William Montague in Los Angeles but no sign of Catherine.      The 1940 census is a complete bust.      In the 1950 I find a 67 yo Catherine as a lodger in Los Angeles who may be this person.
