This might be Mary Cotter who reported the deaths of Kate and Hanora.

....sister Katie, Chicago........sounds like a very casual record for NOK?

I think you need to check the document you are using.

Details on Michael Sheehans enlistment record 5th Jan 1899 Tralee Kerry
NOK Sister Katie, E James Avenue Chicago USA & Rebecca Coughlan whom he married 6th Nov 1913

  Great find Heywood certainly seems likely that Mary Cotter (previously Lawton) present at deaths was related to mother Kate Lawton (Sheehan) & maybe took in the children after mothers death

tks sinann all worth delving into I am thinking maybe Kate Lawton who married John Sheehan may have married in Carrigtwohill will check registers

[heywood]

I have looked there but couldn’t see her. I hope you find her.

This looks like Thomas Cotter in 1911

Son Michael born in America

Possible marriage for Michael

With a Lawton witness.

It might be getting too complicated now.

Could it be her?

She'd have to be fibbing about her age if she is your Kate.
