Family history relates that when this family was on board ship, in transit to
America, about 3 days before docking in New York, their infant died. Catherine
Froeschle kept her child's death a secret, from the crew, so the infant would
not be buried at sea.

F. Froseschle 36 M
Cath " 35 F
Cath " 13 F
Gottleib " 11 M
