It appears both 'Katharine' and 'Katherine' are used in print: see e.g. a 1900 article by "Katherine Timpson (now Mrs A. R. Cook)", a marriage notice in the Church Missionary Review of "Dr. Albert Ruskin Cook to Miss Katherine Timpson", and Mrs. Cook's entry in the Dictionary of African Christian Biography. Both spellings can be found on numerous websites and databases of varying reliability (she's also named as "Kate Timpson"), but from casual Google searching of books & journals, "Katherine" appears slightly more prevalent: in either case the most common or official spelling from Cook's time should be used, and the spelling standardized in this article, with perhaps a note on variants. --Animalparty!
