This is Catharine Elizabeth ( Canny ) Stroud - Another great mother. I have been told many wonderful stories about this mother and grandmother. The stories come from her children - grandchildren and even myself. I sat at her bedside when she died and shared a moment I will never forget. She was very brave in her last painful moments. Once I had asked Catharine what she did when she needed a little peace during her mothering years. She responded with; "I would go out behind the chicken house and sit." As I sat beside her death bed I said; Catharine would you like to go out behind the chicken house for awhile? She said yes. With that she took one last breath and died........
