Then she began her teaching career in 1899 , the same year her brothers started their ‘’experiments’’. Then she became a full time teacher in 1901 , but her best friend Margaret from college died in 1906 sadly. She helped her brothers during many trips to Europe where they conducted their flight experiment , and she worked as a Latin teacher at Stelle High. She also helped her brothers a lot with there flight experiment. Finally in 1926 she married Henry J. Haskell in 1926 , but her brother didn’t want her to marry him. So, Orville stopped talking to her. How rude! I mean it's not her fault that she wants to marry someone.
Death Date Then sadly after two years of her marriage Kathrine got pneumonia and died in March 3 , 1929 at the age of 54 , but her brother Orville finally talked to her when she was about to pass away. So , in conclusion I would say she sort of had more of a better life in her later years.
