Some background information on her:

Katherine nursed at hospitals during the War in Virginia.

When the United Daughters of the Confederacy was born, Katherine helped form many Chapters in Virginia and Maryland.  It was Katherine’s work that helped form the Virginia Division and was elected Division Historian for 1895.  She was elected Corresponding Secretary General in 1896.  She also served as Vice President for the Board of Managers in Maryland.  She was a noted author on her ancestors George Mason and editing the first edition of Minor’s “The Real Lincoln”.  She was an unreconstructed Confederate lady.

This cemetery is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the South with statuary that is outstanding.

Many dignitaries from UDC General, Division, and Chapter levels will be attending.  There will also be another Color Guard, The Harry Gilmor Camp of Baltimore, representing Maryland at this event.  All are welcome at this event.

I need to know who is coming so that all needed equipment and flags are there.
