Catha(e)rine Ertel married John Fry in Warren County, OH. The couple moved to Cass County, IN where John Fry died and is buried, Catharine Ertel Fry married Alexander Waite in Cass County, IN and moved to Idaho, then to Vernon County, MO. The 1910 Vernon County, MO Census for Harrison Township lists them living with their daughter and son-in-law: Lewis Hartzfeld, age 51, Head of household Jennie Hartzfeld, age 39, Wife - also says they had been married 11 yrs and had 1 child G. Wilson Hartzfeld, age 5, son Catherine Waite, age 84, mother in law Alexander Waite, age 77, father in law Robert, a great great grandson of Catharine Ertel and her first marriage to John Fry provided much of the above information.

Alexander and Catherine Waite are buried in Worsley Cemetery, which would have been just a mile or so from where they probably lived. Here are their dates: A. W. Waite, July 19, 1832 - May 5, 1921 Catherine Waite, November 27, 1825 - December 10, 1914 Buried nearby is Franklin Waite, March 27, 1840 - January 21, 1916 Buried not too far from the Waites are: L. T. Hartzfeld, August 28, 1869 - March 16, 1946 Jennie Hartzfeld, October 16, 1870 - May 21, 1914 I suppose that Franklin and Alexander must have been brothers.
