Richart /Corcoran Family
In or about 1874, Katherine Jones married Alfred Richart who worked on
the Railroad, and was originally born in
Indiana.
Sometime between the 1880 Census and 1883 when Katherine marries
William J. Corcoran, something happened to Alfred Richart, whether he
was killed or they divorced, no record has been found to explain his
disappearance. When
Katherine marries William J. Corcoran, the children’s surname is changed
to Corcoran. And so their
name would remain.
William J. Corcoran and Katherine lived in
Decatur, where periodically ads would appear in
the paper of William J. Corcoran endorsing Doan’s Pills . William also
was a railroad worker. In or
about 1905 if would appear William either died or he and Katherine were
divorced. No record of death,
divorce or death announcement have been located.
Katherine soon disappears after 1910 census.
Her whereabouts at this time has not been determined.
The pictures for the Corcoran’s are the only ones known to exist.
