She was born on September 24, 1841 in Poland, Ohio, United States, and spent her youth there. She was the daughter of Judge James Brownlee, a well-educated Scotsman who rose to distinction in eastern Ohio, and Rebecca (Mullen) Brownlee, a member of a Pennsylvania family active in public affairs.
Katharine received her early education in the local schools and in the Poland Union Seminary.
After marriage she went with her husband to Bryan, Ohio, where he was editing the Williams County Gazette. With youthful enthusiasm she promptly began to act as his assistant on this country newspaper. She learned every part of a printer's trade, wrote up the local news, and often supplied editorials.
During the Civil War, while her husband was serving in the army, she continued to publish the paper. They moved to Toledo, Ohio, in the period following the war and thereafter Mrs. Sherwood identified herself with many civic activities. She continued her journalistic work, contributing to Cleveland and Toledo dailies, and, after 1875, when her husband purchased the Toledo Journal, she assisted in the editorial management of that paper for about nine years.
From 1883 to 1898 she edited the woman's department of the National Tribune, the official organ of the Grand Army of the Republic. After General Sherwood became congressman from Ohio she acted as Washington correspondent for a newspaper syndicate. She was an active worker in the Women's Press Club of Toledo, and in her later years was elected honorary president of the Ohio Newspaper Women's Association.
In addition to her journalistic writings she published patriotic playlets for use in schools, translations from the French and German, several books of selections. One of her compositions, "The Flag that Makes Men Free, " was often used at patriotic gatherings and had a circulation of over one hundred thousand copies.
In 1879 she organized a number of societies auxiliary to the G. A. R. in the West. In 1883 these were united with the New England societies to form the Woman's Relief Corps. She was also a member of the National Council of Women, and a worker on national committees of the D. A. R. In her own city she did pioneer work for women's clubs and for suffrage. She was asked to write a poem for the unveiling of a memorial to Albert Sidney Johnston at New Orleans.
She died at her home in Washington, District of Columbia on February 15, 1914, aged 72.
Katharine Margaret Brownlee Sherwood became most widely known for her work in national associations of women as she was the founder of the Woman's Relief Corps, of which she became the second national president. She did her most important work in this organization as chairman of the committee on pensions for soldiers' widows. Especially valuable was her cooperation in the Education League of Toledo and in the Centre University Extension Society. She is best known as the author of army lyrics and poems: Camp-Fire and Memorial Poems (1885); Dreams of the Ages; a Poem of Columbia (1893); The Memorial of the Flowers (1888), and Guarding the Flags (1890)
