The 1851 census of Puslinch lists Catherine ( age 17 ) living at home with Anthony and Catherine.As mentioned in Anthony Steffler's will(1868),his heirs include the Leich children but not Catherine and her husband Herbert,leading me to believe that at least Catharine was dead before Anthony.

In 1871,Louis (age 14) and Margaret (age 12) and Cornelius (age 8) are in the Sisters of Charity Orphanage ( located in Mary Hill, I think ).

Notes for CAROLINE MATILDA BOWMAN:

She's 101

One of the city's oldest residents Mrs. Carolyn Leach celebrated her 101st birthday at Oshawa General hospital on Tuesday.

"It's rediculous living to be 101", she told her daughter Mrs. Gladys Vance before her birthday celebrations.Mrs. Leach was born Aug. 31, 1875 in the Guelph area and has been a resident of Oshawa for more than 60 years. She has one son, Melvin Leach of Maryland, who is expected home for a visit, and daughters Mrs. Gladys Vance and Mrs. Edna Maracle, both of Oshawa. Another daughter Mrs. Orlie Conlin is deceased. The centerian celebrated her 101st birthday with apple pie, her favorite dish, and roasted chicken. She was pleased to receive a greeting card from the Queen. Mrs. Vance says her mother was "Very proud of gardening in her younger years. She spent alot of time tatting and embroidering and was too busy to do much of anything else"., she added. A few months ago Mrs. Leach asked her daughters to send a hairdresser to the hospital so she could have her hair permed, a service Mrs. Vance says "thrilled her mother". "Many people ask me about her longevity. I know Mother never drank or smoked all her life, but then again she was never really healthy and suffered a heart attack a number of years ago". The centerian is considered bright and entertains visitors at the hospital with stories of the good old days.  I remember her as a very strict mother in every way when we girls were growing up, and she always told me that a proper education offered the best things in life" Mrs. Vance recalled.
