Biography

She was born as Mary Katherine Scott to John Scott and Hannah Gray October 5th, 1837 in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. Later in life, she preferred to go by the name, Kate M. Scott. She died April 15, 1911 in Brookville, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania.

She served as a volunteer nurse during the winter of 1861-1862 with the 105th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry at Camp Jameson in Virginia.

Her family was in the newspaper and printing business. Kate wrote two history books, the first on the 105th Pennsylvania Infantry and the second about Jefferson County, Pennsylvania where she resided most for most of her life. Kate was also the secretary for the National Association of Army Nurses and compiled a book of Army nurse survivors in 1910 at the request of Col F. M. Sterrett of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Research Notes

An alleged sworn statement regarding Kate Scott and John Wilkes Booth linked below is likely fraudulent. Much of the statement is not germane to J. W. Booth, and may be viewed as being included to make the statement seem to be credibly originating from Miss Scott. The circumstance which compelled the statement is not known.
