Description

Katherine (called "Kitty") (1885-1923) was 17 years old and recently divorced when she was hired by C.E.S. Wood as his private secretary in his Portland, Oregon law office. She and Wood began an intermittent long-term affair. In 1911, she married an alcoholic physician in reaction to the appearance of Sara Bard Field in Wood's life. Kitty's second marriage was also ill-fated. She was living near Seattle with radical lawyer George F. Vanderveer when she was either murdered or committed suicide. RON012
