OriginalNotes: Montana Deaths, Kate Fleener Wiltner, b. 19 Aug. 1878 in Petersburg to Martin and Laura (Alexander) Fleener, d. 26 Dec. 1948, Havre, Hill County, Montana, spouse William Edward Wiltner; occupation housewife; buried Highland Cemetery, Havre, Montana

Cheryl Beighle Family Tree maintained by Stephen Schroeder (viewed 11/17/2019 https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/109375749/person/370074841299/facts) states that Katie Fleener had daughter Bernadette Vern Murphy (b. 1908) by Charles G. Murphy; a son Fredrick John Grimm (1918-1950) by William Grimm (1879-1960), and son Herbert Dwyer b. 1900 with unknown man [Grimm seems to be incorrect since they have Kate still living with him in the 1920 and 1940 census; doublecheck]

Petersburg Press, Feb. 24, 1922, p. 4 - High Praise for Miss Kate Fleener. Article states that a Havre, Montana newspaper praised the photographic work of the firm of Fleener and Fritz of that city, the senior member of the firm being Miss Kate Fleener, formerly of this place. She is married to a Wiltner, but for the purposes of the firm did not change the business name. Fleener was photographer of marked ability when she left Petersburg several years ago. The Havre paper says that Fleener has not devoted so much of her attention to the business since her marriage as formerly, but ? Her active interest and when work becomes too pressing she helps to relieve the burden of her partner.

OriginalSource: Pike County Democrat, Feb. 14, 1902, p. 1 Miss Kate Fleener will open a photograph gallery in the rooms formerly occupied by A. L. Edwards in the Shandy building. The rooms were recently damaged by fire and as soon as the repairs are made the new gallery will be opened.

Pike County Democrat, May 16, 1902, p. 8 - Reporter for the Democrat visited art gallery of Miss Kate Fleener and was most agreeably surprised at the improvements that had been made in the arrangements and convenience of the rooms.
