New info has surfaced that Catherine may be buried in Mhoontown cemetery, Cherokee, Colbert, Al. next to her son Napoleon B. Allison. This info was given to me by my Aunt Jane when we visited the cemetery in 2012. She said that originally the grave had a slab over the whole grave, concrete?, anyway the slab was broken and there were snakes living in there, Aunt Blanche Allison Nichols (granddaughter of Catherine) asked my uncle Jerry and another man to go to the cemetery and break up that slab. It was done and
today there is a wide area next to Napoleon that is empty and Napoleon's wife is buried about 10 feet away. Thus Napoleon's mother must be buried there.
