Biography

Kate was born in 1869. She was 1 in 1870^[1] and the 1880 census shows her at age 11.^[2]

In 1900 she was still single, living in Chester with her widowed mother, two brothers, and 3 nephews.^[3]

The 1910 census shows her at 41, single and living with her mother, brother, and a sister-in-law. Note that the relationships were recorded incorrectly this year, showing her mother as the spouse of her brother.^[4] The situation is similar in 1920, though her mother has passed on.^[5]

A passport application confirms her birth information and full name, and shows that she planned a trip to Great Britain, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and France, to depart from New York on 7 Jun 1924. ^[6]

In 1930 she was with her brother, a cousin, and a maid on Chestnut Street in Chester, Pennsylvania.^[7] Katherine remained on Chestnut Street in 1950 with no relatives, but two companions.^[8]

Katharine, daughter of Samuel H Stevenson & Katherine McDonald, died (age 82) on 24 August 1951 in Chester, Delaware, Pennsylvania, United States.^{[9] [10]}
