Maria Catherine was known as Mariah in her youth, which is the olde English pronunciation of Maria. She became known as 'Marie' later in life, and occasionally, 'Katie', which was a nickname for Catherine. A grandaughter was likely named after her, with first/middle names reversed, Katherine Marie, daughter of Della.

The below obituary was mostly excerpted from the Centerville Daily Iowegian, Nov. 30, 1951, with my corrections/additions in [ brackets ].

MARIE RANES, 91, passed away Friday morning at 5:40 a.m. Nov.30, 1951 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clyde McGee, who lives northeast of Centerville. Mrs. Ranes traveled from Columbus, Ohio, in a covered wagon at the age of three [with her family which included mother Harriet, stepfather James Fulton, and their 'blended' family of children]. The wagon was pulled by oxen. When [they] arrived in Putnam County, Mo., they decided to settle. She was married on [Christmas Day] at the age of 16 years to J. W. Ranes [at Unionville, Putnam, Mo]. In 1903, they moved to Appanoose County, [Iowa] where she has lived [almost exclusively] since that time. [She called Centerville her home.]

[[ Marriage to Jack ended by 1910 and she moved due west, across the border into Nebraska, where she lived a short time, met and married husband Ernest Coon who died in 1927. After 6 years widowhood, she married a widower, Lewis K. Richardson of Kansas. He died about a year later leaving her widowed again. In 1935, she resumed the name of Mrs. John William Ranes. J.W. had become a widower from his second marriage.

To the end of her rich, full life of 91 years, her chief delight was in her family, neighbors and friends.]]

Mrs. Jo Anna Hamilton, of Des Moines, Arthur, of Moulton, and five deceased, two in infancy and three, Stella, Henry and Charlie, in recent years. Also surviving are
