She was married to Richard J. Collins. Her name was originally spelled "Katherine", but she preferred the spelling of "Kathryn" as she thought it looked better and so she began using this spelling. When Kathryn came to Lincoln she taught school for a year or two at a small place about 8 miles north of Lincoln. She boarded with the Burkes during the week, then came home every weekend. She decided to go to business college to learn secretary skills. She then got a job in the President's office of Gold & Co. Department Store. She met Millar Zook who worked in Men's Wear. He was a good dancer and Kathryn loved to go dancing. He had no car so they took a street car out to Antelope Park several nights a week. Millard transferred to a better job in the men's department of a store in St. Joseph, Missouri. They would visit each other on weekends. Kathryn learned some lady there was wooing him or vice versa and she was broken-hearted. Florence worked at Grainger Bros., which was a block from the Burlington Depot where Kathryn now worked. They decided to buy a car together with Pop co-signing for the loan. It was a neat Essex coupled with a rumble seat and red wire wheels. This was used for transportation taking Pop to his farms and for summer vacations One year, Kathryn, Florence and Eleanor Vstecka drove up to Canada returning through New York and Washington D.C. Kathryn Loved Washington with historical sites, etc. On vacations to Lincoln, Kathryn dated Tom Sweeney (Florence, his friend, Bill Burke). Kathryn could not get serious about anyone. In 1938 Kathryn transferred to a job with the Railway Mail Service but left her furniture in the apartment with Gert Cavanaugh, who was living there (Florence and Don would take over the apartment and furniture after their marriage of December, 1928). Kathryn transferred to the San Francisco office of Railway Mail. Dick Collins was an executive in the office there and became very interested in Kathryn. They married about 1948. They lived in Palo Alto when Dick returned and developed lung cancer. He died there. Kathryn remained in an apartment in Burlingame until moving to Sun City and lived there until she developed Alzheimer's Disease and spent the remaining five years at Madonna Nursing Home in Lincoln, Nebraska.
