Notes for Catherine Butler Dusenbury
She is not listed with her parents in the 12 July 1860 census, so probably married by then.
“Couple living in Detroit in 1913.” Seems to be contradicted by the 15 April 1910 Census which shows her as a widow living with her son Henry and family at 146 Fort Street West in Detroit.
“Catherine married Allan SHELDON, at one time a wholesale merchant in company with Hon. Zach Chandler and now a banker in Detroit, Mich. “

Detroit Institute of Art
“The museum had its genesis in an 1881 tour of Europe made by local newspaper magnate James E. Scripps . Scripps kept a journal of his family's five-month tour of art and culture in Italy, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, portions of which were published in his newspaper The Detroit News. The series proved so popular that it was republished in book form called Five Months Abroad. The popularity also inspired William H. Brearley, the manager of the newspaper's advertising department to organize an art exhibit in 1883, which was also extremely well-received. Brearly convinced many leading Detroit citizens to contribute to establish a permanent museum. Among the donors were James Scripps, his brother George H. Scripps , Dexter M. Ferry, Christian H. Buhl, Gen. Russell A. Alger, Moses W. Field, James McMillan and Hugh McMillan, George H. Hammond, James F. Joy, Francis Palms, Christopher R. Mabley, Simon J. Murphey, John S. Newberry, Cyrenius A. Newcomb, Thomas W. Palmer, Philo Parsons, George B. Remick, Allan Shelden, David Whitney Jr., G.V.N. Lothrop and Hiram Walker.”
