Katharine Ertz-Bowden was born September 20, 1876 in rural Annawan, Illinois located 140 miles west-southwest of Chicago. She attended Annawan public schools and taught the 1894-95 year in a country school in Henry County, Illinois.  In 1897 she earned a Diploma in Public Speaking with a BA in Science from Valparaiso University. In 1900 she married fellow graduate Charles L. Bowden, who had been an “expert photographer with Eastman Kodak.” After retiring from "entertainment” in 1910, Ertz-Bowden returned to Valparaiso University, working there as a librarian, associate professor and archivist. She passed away in 1965, leaving a collection of lantern slides, pamphlets, newspaper articles and 35mm film at the university.
