Katherine G. Howard

Katherine Graham Howard (September 30, 1898 – January 26, 1986) was a graduate of Smith College with a bachelor's degree in politics and government.

[2][3] She was the elder sister of John Stephens Graham and a cousin of Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell.

[3][5] During this period of increasing political involvement, Howard developed lasting relationships with many leading Republicans, most notably Leverett Saltonstall and Sinclair Weeks from Massachusetts.

In March 1953, she participated in and witnessed Operation Doorstep, an atomic bomb explosion at the Nevada Test Site.

[citation needed] On September 15, 1921, in Forsyth County, North Carolina, she married Charles Paglesen Howard (1887-1966),[3] a Harvard University lawyer, but without the approval of her father, who for a short period of time disinherited her.
