Kate Nunn was born 21 December 1893, the fifth child of
Joseph and Catherina Kurtz Nunn. The family lived at 2030 First Avenue in New
York City. Kate was 6-1/2
when the city’s Outdoor Poor arrived to take her and her siblings upstate to
St. Joseph’s Home in Peekskill, New York.
The home was paid $2.00 a week for her keep.
I have it on good authority that Kate married Carl Preiss. I
don’t know when. I also learned
that Kate died at a young age in childbirth, or possibly a miscarriage. Kate and Carl lived in the Bronx.
So far I have been unable to find this couple on a census or
any other database. I would love
to connect with any Preiss family that might have further information on this couple.
