Kitty, born in Ohio, USA. Died 1926 in Ceylon.
Kitty, born and educated in Lockport, New York. Her father, the Rev. Levi Wood, was one of the pioneers of the Free Methodist church. Kitty sailed to the East with a group of 30 missionaries in 1867. On her arrival in Ceylon, in order to communicate better with the people, she decided to study Tamil, and her tutor was Gate Mudaliar K.C. Barr Kumarakulasinghe, who held a high position in the office of the governor, Sir West Ridgeway. They fell in love and married and had three children. Unfortunately K.C.B. died at the early age of 46, when he contracted a severe illness in the Maldive Islands on an administrative trip with the governor.
Wishing to educate the children in the United States, Kitty decided to return home to New York, but tragedy overtook her. Two of her children died of diphtheria on the long voyage back and were buried at sea. The youngest died on arrival in New York. To add to her sorrows, Kitty's father, too, had died before she got home. The grief-stricken Kitty returned to Ceylon and started an orphanage and school in partnership with the Rev. Arthur Paynter. Kitty died in Ceylon in 1926, and is buried there. I had the good fortune to visit her grave and the orphanage last year.
