In 1870, 35 year old carpenter Gerhard Johanning lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife Kathrina (26). Gerhard was born in Hanover. Adjacent households in the census belonged to John Blake and William Heddleston.
By 1880, carpenter Gerhart (46) and Catherine (37) Johanning had moved to Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio. There were no children in the household. Their neighbors in the census were Nicholas Noll and Barbara Wild.
Catherine Johanning, a widow, lived with her daughter and son in law (Frank and Dora Hill) at the time of the 1900, 1910 and 1930 census. Records conflict on her place of birth: (West) Virginia (1900 census) vs. Ohio (1870, 1880, 1910 and 1930 census). There is also disagreement about the year of birth: 1841 (1900 census) vs. 1842 (obituary, Snider). The 1870 census states that Katharina Schmitt Johanning's parents were foreign-born, but the 1880 census indicates that they were born in West Virginia, and the 1930 census states they were born in Germany.
Catherine Schmitt Johanning's obituary appeared in The Zanesville (OH) Signal newspaper on December 26, 1934.
