Catharine was a very sick baby. After a fruitless stay at a hospital on Baker Island in Salem Harbor, her grandmother found a recipe for rice gruel, which Catharine took greedily and was healthy by age 1.
She attended Vassar for one year and Radcliffe for 3 years until she met Harold. They married and she quit college with not enough credits to graduate in Chemistry. In the 1920's they had two children, Harold Jr and Eleanor. Harold Jr had epilepsy and died as a direct result of a seizure during his first year at Harvard.
Catharine and Harold Sr were divorced in July 1955, after which she lived near her daughter Eleanor in Quincy and Brockton. In the 1980's she fell and broke a hip and moved into her daughter's house where Down-E the cat became her constant companion.
