Katherine Macleod, 1919
Katherine Macleod (1892 – 1994) was the daughter of Donald Finley Macleod, caretaker for the Wilson family at 161 Harvard St. She is seen here wearing a traditional Scottish outfit reflective of her Scottish heritage. She married John Cleveland Dick, originally from Scotland, in 1920 and the couple moved to Canada where they had three children. After the early death of her husband in 1935, she returned to Brookline - first to her family’s caretaker house which had been moved down the hill to 37 Harvard Ct. and later to 122 Davis Ave.
