Katharine Heron completed the course in the Connersville public schools and later attended the Wesleyan University at Cincinnati. She has been an extensive traveler, has visited nearly all points of interest in this country and in 1890 made a comprehensive tour through Europe, including all points of chief interest on the continent, as well as in the British Isles and the Scandinavian peninsula. Miss Heron has written quite extensively concerning her travels, her articles for publication having attracted much attention, and she has for years given her most earnest attention to all movements having to do with the cultural activities of her home town. She was secretary and treasure of the local library board at the time the Connersville public library was erected and continues as a trustee of that institution. Miss Heron was the organizer of "The Merry-go-round," Connersville's leading social club; is a member of the Wednesday Club and was a charter member of the "A.D.O.U." She also organized the Connersville Human Society and has been of large influence in this community in the way of securing to orphaned or neglected children proper home influences.
