Born in Luray, Ohio, Catherwood was a dedicated writer from a young age, contributing to family income through her literary endeavors. She attended and later taught at the Granville Female College in Ohio, broadening her literary and pedagogical horizons. Catherwood's narratives often interweave factual historical events with regional folklore, offering readers a tapestry of the past speckled with the spectral charm of the frontier days.
