RE: Who is this person?
The only book (as far as I can find) ever published on Catherine Eddy Beveridge was put out by her grandson, Albert J. Beveridge III in 2005 and was called The Chronicle of Catherine Eddy Beveridge. It is based on a diary that she kept at the turn of the century. I have the book, but seem to have misplaced it on one of my shelves. Therefore I was able to borrow a copy from the Internet Archive.
One note. I made a mistake on the year the photo was taken. She was presented to Czar Nicholas II in 1902, not 1905. As for the tiara, she writes in the book about the Czarina, who was "wearing a tiara in the Russian manner," so I imagine it was a custom of that time there. There is no wedding picture of Catherine and Albert. Even the newspaper announcement reprinted in the book shows them in individual portraits. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
