Biographical history
Catherine (Kate) Colquhoun was born 4 March 1861 at Colquhoun, Dundas County, Ontario, a small village - now vanished except for a few traces - north of Morrisburg. She graduated from the McGill Normal School in 1882, and thereafter for several years taught in a one room schoolhouse at Abbotsford, Quebec. In 1886 she married Robert Whitney, a local Abbotsford farmer, and her sister Martha replaced her as the teacher at the start of the next school year. Kate Colquhoun and her husband had two children, a daughter and a son who both died in infancy. She herself also died young, aged 30, and is buried in St. Paul's Anglican cemetery, Abbotsford.
