They arrived in Texas on Dec. 24, 1863. The journey had been prolonged by very bad weather and the ship having been hung up in the Gulf of Mexico on sand bars and no wind. Her brother, Peter, was to have met her in Indianola, but, on the way he was killed by Indians. Katherine and her 2 daughters finally made their way to Meyersville to join her sister Luiese (Louise in Texas). Later she joined another sister, Maria, in Yorktown.
