Two of her sisters, Nora and Nellie, also worked for Hardys, one as a fly tier and one as a split cane rod binder Known by her friends and family as Kitty, Kate adopted the stage name of Pauline Johnson. Two of her older sisters Isabell and Lilian were dancers, dancing in France and at the Windmill in London. In her earlier days Pauline danced with them sometimes.
