      John,

      I show that the name was spelled Kathrin
      Full name Kathrin Ratliff Denson and she married Jessie P Davis. I don't believe they had any children.
      She was born 31 July 1889 and died 16 October 1961

      My Mother referred to her as Aunt Kate Davis - because she had another Aunt Kate on her Mother's side. She and her husband lived on Clinton Blvd. really close to Mynell's Gardens. As a little girl I did go there but don't really remember her.

      One of her nieces Eula Prichard Denson, daughter of James Miciah Denson (the youngest child of James William and Emma Pearson Denson was living with her in 1940 and I believe inherited her house when she died. I think she remained with her. Eula called my Mother quite frequently just to talk "family"

      I was a girl when all these people died and I really didn't pay a lot of attention. I know the Densons liked to name the children after sisters/brothers etc. My Great Uncle Jim Davis named his first child Jack Steele Davis after your family. Mammy (what we called my great grandmother) was very close to all her sisters and my Mother was very close to her. My Mother was her oldest grandchild. My great grandmother was William Gertrude the 2nd child born to the family. She died in 1953. She named her youngest child Prichard after the last name of Eula Viola's husband who was her older sister.

      hope some of this helps. I have lots of information gathered from lots of places.

      Diane
