Gerald surely lived his life in U.S.A and no one seems to have ever heard of him. How
sad! He lived in Rogers, Arkansas around 1940 - 1941. I know that because he married my
mother Catherine Lawson. They had a daughter named Edna Louise Cato who they had to give
up for adoption due to Gerald leaving my mother and sister. Gerald was a truckdriver when
he was married to my mother. The family of my mother (now deceased) told me that
Gerald's uncle owned a chicken rance there in Arkansas. Gerald drove truck for same
company as Verle Farmer (Rogers, Arkansas). Verle Farmer's wife had a beauty shop
there in Rogers, Arkansas and this couple were older than my mother and Gerald. I did
research and feel that Gerald Cato died in 1987 in Pennsylvania. He was a member of the
VFW there. He remarried and had no other children. He did, however, have 2 stepsons. I
spoke to one of them who didn't wish to speak to me. I merely wanted medical history
so I can pass it on to my sis!
ter. Can anyone help us collect more info on this Gerald Cato.
