Catherine "Kate"
Gough and William McNulty
Catherine Gough is the youngest
child of Peter Gough and Letitia Naulty, and was born on 13 June
1852 probably in Hazleton. A schoolteacher (according to
the 1870 census), she married William McNulty probably
around 1874. Catherine died about six weeks after her
youngest child -- Mary -- was born; her two young sons,
Peter and John, also died in the late 1870s.
The widowed William was enumerated in Hazleton in 1880 with
his small daughter, his (apparently) widowed sister Bridget
O'Donnell and her children; sadly, William then died in
1889, leaving Mary an orphan. She appears to have remained
in Hazleton the rest of her life, ultimately marrying
Samuel Brill in 1909, with whom she had three children
(John, William, and Catherine); she and Samuel are both
buried at St. Gabriel's Cemetery in Hazleton.
We have no further information about the family at this
point.
