From Mrs. Kenneth J. Cathell, PittsburghMrs. Cathell is a family researcher stating "My main interest is in the generations of Platt and before him."

She writes: "My husband, Kenneth John Cathell, is the son of James Ray Cathell (who was a son of Elmer, who was a son of Steward, who leads us to Platt)."

Elmer Neal Cathell was born 1898 Rowlesburg, WV and died 1962 in Addison, PA in an auto accident while on a hunting trip. It was never determined if he suffered a heart attack first or the accident came first. He and his wife, Reba (Bender) Cathell are buried in Addison (she was from Listenburg near there) though they lived in the Wilson district of Clairton, PA. They had six children. James Ray Cathell, my husband's father, was the last born 1929 and died 2004. Elmer Jay Cathell (Uncle Dick) was the first born 1917, he died 2005."


Another son of James Ray Cathell is Thomas Cathell.



Thomas Cathell

Tom's wife Joan states in 2008 in her website, "Tom, and I have been married for 23 years and we live in southwestern Pennsylvania. We have a daughter, Bethany and a son, Tommy. My family is a continuing source of energy, encouragement, and humor for me." Joan is an artist and produces the "Pops" line of cards and prints. She writes "My grandpa was a wonderful influence in my life especially during childhood. Those memories of him were my inspiration to create this line of sentiments for you to enjoy. In his workshop, my grandpa had a plaque with his favorite saying on it. “THINK”

Older folks are our source of strength and advice and are a wealth of knowledge because “we grow too soon old and too late, smart”
