Kate appeared at his wake at his sister's house in Philadelphia making her existence known to his family who embraced her as a sister. Shortly after his untimely death, Kate made good on that pledge by entering the religious community of the Daughters of Charity in Emmitsburg, MD, now more commonly known as the Seton Shrine. Five years later, she left the order in Albany, NY without taking final vows. She remained in Albany working as a teacher for several years and in fact, living for some time with another sister who left the order. She lived out her life in her old hometown of Stillwater, NY and died of "bloody lungs." She never married. She is buried in the Stillwater Union Cemetery, not far from the Saratoga Battlefield. Her stone is an octagon and symbolic of rebirth and resurrection. The word "Mizpah" is carved on the stone and is a Hebrew benediction meaning, "May God watch over you until we are together again." Kate Hewitt is emblematic of the generations lost forever because of Americans fighting Americans.
