The mother of Dahmer’s father was Catherine Jemima Hughes.
She was one of seven siblings, and she was born in Brigham, Iowa, in 1902. In 1933, she got legally tied to Herbert Walter Dahmer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Lionel, the son who would later become the father of Dahmer, and Eunice, a daughter, were the couple’s children.
After being discharged from the army in 1981, Dahmer moved into his grandmother’s home at 2357 S. 57th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After nine years of living with his grandmother, he eventually moved out in 1990 after she requested him to do so because he was a heavy drinker and frequently brought home male associates.
Dahmer then relocated to the Oxford Apartment Building in May 1990, where he would carry out more horrifying murders.
Despite the fact that Catherine essentially kicked him out in 1990, Dahmer is thought to have had a nice connection with his grandmother and did not kill her.
Hughes was referred to in The Beacon Journal piece as “the one member of his family he adored,” according to Heavy.
