User:K8shep/Kate Bradbury Griffith

Kate Bradbury met Amelia Edwards in late 1887 or early 1888, and Bradbury was 20 years younger than Edwards. By May of 1888, Bradbury was staying regularly with Edwards and her companion Ellen Braysher at their home, The Larches. As Ellen became ill, Bradbury took on more of the role of Edwards' companion and confidant. From 1888 to 1892, Bradbury lived with Edwards almost full time. Edwards trained her in the daily administration of the Egypt Exploration Fund, and to be her own personal secretary.

She traveled with Amelia Edwards to the US in 1890.

She was responsible for packing up Edwards' collection of 44 boxes of antiquities to send to UCL up on Edwards' death.

The American tour began on with Edwards' first lecture on November 7, 1889 at the Brooklyn Institute (which would become the Brooklyn Museum). It ended on March 28, 1890 in New Jersey with Edwards' final lecture. The two women sailed back the following day on the Etruria.
