Catharine C. (Johnson) Foote was always called Kate. She signed her name this way in letters to her sister. Mrs. William Byron Thom in his recollections of former residents of New London says: "Soon after the closing of Mrs. Wright's school Mrs. Kate Foote taught a select school in the Ira Liggett house, just below the Big Four tracks on North Main Street. Among the pupils were....Mrs. Foote's daughter Eva of course one of us." "After Liggett left his house, it was occupied by Mrs. Kate Foote, who kept the select school which I have already referred to." In another article he refers to this school as, ""Little McGuffey College taught by Mrs. Kate Foote in the middle 1860's."
It is hard to realize in those days they did not have schools as we do today. There were no public schools and unless the children's parents paid someone to teach their children they could not read or write. However people were eager to learn and we find that even young men, sometimes married would go to school nights to learn to read and write. It was not uncommon for someone who did have an education to gather a group together and teach them. Both of Kate's husbands had attended Oberlin College.
