"In 1903, before Balthasar moved to North Dakota, he paid Margaretha $1,000 to raise Catherine." 35

"On May 13, 1902, a bond was set up between Henry and Theresa (Klotz) Seurer and Margaretha Seurer valued at $1,000.00. ... Also in this bond was that Henry and Theresa Seurer care for one minor child (Catherine Foertsch) until she was 21 years of age. Also, to give Catherine $400.00 at age 21. If Catherine died before age 21, the money was to be given to her mother, Annie Fuller (nee Seurer).
