Teacher
Catharina Cecilea (Cato) Kothuis was born on 23 November 1908 at house no. 8 in Aalten (Landstraat 4), as the daughter of brushmaker Johannes Kothuis and Helena Theodora Vultink.
Cato Kothuis lived with her sister at Landstraat 4. Both sisters remained unmarried. Cato was known as a remarkable woman: deeply religious, yet simultaneously broad-minded. For many years, she was a teacher at the St. Jozef Roman Catholic School, where she taught generations of children. During lessons, she would accompany the class singing on a heavy electric organ, which produced a rather wailing sound.
Cato Kothuis passed away on 30 March 2001. She was buried at Berkenhove Cemetery.
