Katherine Mohr, daughter of Henry and Anna (Casper) Mohr should not be confused with Kate (Mohr) Law of Cook County, Illinois. Kate Law was b. 29 May 1871 in Forest, Cook, IL, d. 21 Feb 1959 in Chicago, IL; m. 16 Jun 1896 in Chicago, Cook, IL to William Law. Henry Mohr's family was never recorded in Cook County and he did not marry until 08 Aug 1872. Kate Law was born in 1871 and her death certificate records her father as Adam Mohr.

Here's some more interesting information. Kate Law was mentioned in the obituary of her brother, John C. Mohr, who was born 13 Jun 1867 in Mt. Forest, Illinois and died 03 Aug 1956 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois. The death certificates for Kate and John C. Mohr share the same birth location (Mt. Forest, IL) and the same father's name (Adam Mohr). It should be possible to find autosomal DNA matches between Kate and John's descendants. It's interesting that the obituary mentions another brother named George. Perhaps he has living descendants as well.

Please note that Henry Mohr of Shabbona, DeKalb, Illinois did not have any sons named John C. or George.
