Category:Grave of Catharine Carter Critcher

English: Never married and without children, Critcher outlived her money and spent her later years with a niece in Virginia before dying in a nursing home in 1964 at age 95. Perhaps because she was virtually alone by then, her first name was misspelled as Catherine on her gravestone and never corrected. It’s another of the ways she has yet to receive her just dues, [Davison Packard Koenig, the executive director of the Couse-Sharp Historic Site in Taos] says, adding, “I’d love to see her receive the respect she deserves, not just as a female artist in the Taos Society, but as an important American artist of the early 20th century.” — Perspective: A Force of Nature - Western Art & Architecture
