    Notes:

    1850 census, Upper Mahantongo, William 19 farmer $5000, Katy 17

    1860 census, pg 452/#1180, Eldred, William 37, Catherine 24, Charles 5, Sarah 4,
    Cassy 3,Mary 1, Henry Gotshall 20, Susan Koehler 14


    Catharine 1857, sp Johan and Katharine Wetzel (at St. Pauls)
    William Jakhen? 1861, sp the parents

    from the date of death, it seems he may have died in the Civil War.
    William K Herb, 9 Sep 1861, Co A, 50th PA Regiment? No, he was age 21
    at time of enrollment and lived in Hubley.

    One might guess that the 1850 census is correct and thatthe 1860 is someone else,
    ie the Catherine burial goes with someone else - nothey're buried together.

    Note: in History of Northumberland, pg 567, it mentions Lewis K Yoder married
    Sarah Herb, d/o William and Catharine (Kehler) Herb.

    Maybe, married c 1850 Catharine Kehler (1833-1858) and
    c1859 Catharine Bolich (1836-1878)
