Catrina Beale was Truxtun’s cousin. Born in 1900, she was the only child of John Forbes Beale, a Washington D.C. attorney, and Catharine Beale. John Beale died in 1923 and Catharine died in 1931. Then unmarried, she lived with Truxtun and Marie. They might have looked at her as a daughter, as she was close in age to Walker, Truxtun’s son who died in the war. They were likely her closest family.

She was at Truxtun’s side with Marie, when he died on June 2, 1936, near Annapolis. She inherited a ton of property, including the land near Bay Ridge that Truxtun purchased for Walker. He probably wanted the land to stay in the family.

It must have been at or near Truxtun’s Anne Arundel County property where she met James Page Bowie, who was at his nearby Bay Ridge Farm. They married in 1937. Bowie died of a heart attack in 1964. Catrina Beale eventually relocated to Maine, where in 1974 she married James Tyson Lee, a recent widower, about ten years her junior. She died in 1980, at age 80. James Lee died in 1990, also at age 80. There is a tombstone for Catrina in Maine and one for her in Maryland. It seems more likely that she is buried in Maine.
