I made her a tree on Ancestry and I did find one other tree they have Catherine's death date as 3 Feb 1904 San Jose, CA. I never found any records to prove this.

Louis remarried by 1910 to a Emma.

Holger who got away stayed in California and married and had a family. 

The murdered children all have memorials on Find A Grave.
