Katharine Byrns (Pessara) Muschalik is my paternal grandmother.

Katie's brother Adam's death certificate shows him born in Johannesburg, Germany. Her death certificate just shows Germany so her birth place is still unknown.

Katie and Richard Frank were married on 5 Mar 1893 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. They had 10 children. All are listed and have memorials on Find A Grave. One, Walter, died as an infant.

Katie & Richard are buried about 100 yards away from one another. When Richard died, there were not enough funds to pay for two plots. When Katie died 17 years later, a plot was chosen as close to Richard's as possible.

Katie is the sister of Adam J Pesarro and August Pessarro.

Gravesite Details

Although Katie died long after her husband, her gravestone is in worse shape because it has been more exposed to the elements. Her husband's gravestone is under a tree and, thus, more protected.
