Katherine was the wife of Brigadiar General Henry Jervey. As an officer's wife in the "modern" military, she was expected to entertain peers of her husband as well as dignitaries and the wives of both. It was an iron-clad mold that she was to fit in; to be charity minded and active in such matters, head commitees, be present at all social functions, be charming and have a general knowlege of current events, (yet avoid the same topics as political subjects) and in all ways, promote her husbands career.
