from Chapter 32, Edith Shay, in Provincetown Profiles, 1958Marriage Notes (John Roderigo Dos Passos)
"At Charlevoix, a long established summer resort, [Edith (Foley) Shay] met Katharine Smith, daughter of the eminent scholar William Benjamin Smith. The girls became lifelong friends. Katharine Smith was married to John Dos Passos, the writer, in 1929. The Dos Passos traveled widely but made Provincetown their home until September, 1947, when Mrs. Dos Passos was killed in an automobile accident near Wareham.
Edith Shay and Katharine Dos Passos worked together for many years. They collaborated on two successful books: "Down Cape Cod" (1936), a guidebook, and a novel, "The Private Adventure of Captain Shaw" (1945), the story of a young Cape Cod captain who got mixed up in the French Revolution. The guidebook was revised and enlarged in 1946." 21

...
Young John cut his literary milk teeth on Marryat, got from Masterman Ready such an inviting whiff of the sea he once considered going to Annapolis. He remembers being carted around a good deal by his travel-loving parents—to Mexico, Belgium, England, to Washington, and tidewater Virginia. In England he had a year at a private school, afterwards prepared for Harvard at the Choate School. At Harvard, where he was in the same class (1916) with Authors Robert Nathan and Robert Littell, he wrote for the literary magazines but was distinctly not one of "Copey's" (Professor Charles Townsend Copeland's) boys. Dos Passos was constantly on the point of leaving Harvard but never quite got around to it. Though he graduated cum laude, he thinks he got little out of college, regards his four years there as largely wasted. Like his father, he is a self-made literate. Gibbon's Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire was his adolescent Bible.
After Harvard, Dos Passos went to Spain, with the idea of studying architecture. Instead, he enlisted in a French ambulance service, transferred to the A. E. F. as a private in the Medical Corps. He wrote his first book (One Man's Initiation), a story based on his war experience, published in England. As a correspondent and free lance in Spain, after the Armistice, he wrote his second, Three Soldiers, which made him a name in the U. S. with its four-letter realism. With Manhattan Transfer (1925), in which he started experimenting with the form he later perfected in The 42nd Parallel, his literary reputation was solidly established. Besides his novels, he has written two books of travel, a volume of essays, a volume of verse, three plays, translated Poet Blaise Cendrars from the French and adapted a novel by Pierre Louys for the cinema (The Devil Is a Woman).
He sketches and paints in near-professional manner but has not lost his amateur standing as an artist. He writes wherever he happens to be, finds crowded Provincetown on Cape Cod as good a place to work as any. There in his harborside cottage he lives between travels, with his handsome wife. (She writes for women's magazines under the name of Katherine Smith.)
Unlike most novelists, Dos Passos seldom talks shop, has no liking for professional discussion of his own or his contemporaries' work. He considers writing a full-time job like any other. His own working habits are as steady as a farmer's. He gets up early, works through the morning wherever he happens to be. In Provincetown he swims before lunch, goes sailing every afternoon, takes little or no part in Provincetown's art-colony doings. Since he is traveling most of the time his household has something of the air of a dwelling that is just being moved into, with trunks and crates crowding the back rooms, books that he uses for research scattered around the walls.

White marker stands amid centuries-old tombstones
August 01, 2007
By SUSAN MILTON
Cape Cod Times Staff Writer
ORLEANS — Passers-by often stroll by the historic cemetery in the center of town and stop to read one particular headstone.
Usually they aren't learning about Captain Nehemiah Smith, who died in 1820, or Simeon Smith, who died in 1848 at age 25.
They are staring at the bright white gravestone amid the weathered older stones in the grassy cemetery, an oasis of peace between busy Main Street and the CVS store.
The 21st-century stone reads that Katherine Aubrey Smith O'Brien died Nov. 11, 2005, at the young age of 47. But there's no inscription to say why she wanted to be remembered among the members of the Methodist-Episcopal congregation laid to rest 150 or more years ago. The exception is a 1989 headstone for Albert Oliver Smith, two headstones away from O'Brien.
The earliest stone, for Stanley Smith, dates back to 1818, according to Orleans historian Bonnie Snow. The cemetery was next to a long-gone church building built in 1820. That congregation revived in 1836 to build the existing Methodist church at Main Street and Route 28. The cemetery, now owned by the town, may look as if it's been there forever, but it was moved when Route 6A was widened, Snow said. So who is Katherine Aubrey Smith O'Brien, whose gravestone draws so many curious looks?
"She was my beloved niece," Gerry Gilmore of South Orleans said Monday, remembering the young girl that he taught to sail and the devoted mother of two who spent six months in bed to carry each child to term.
Born in Orleans, "she was Toby and Aubrey Smith's daughter," Gilmore said. O'Brien was living in Los Angeles when she died suddenly after an aneurysm.
Her way into the historic cemetery was paved by her father, Albert Oliver "Toby" Smith, who died at age 72. A navigator in bombers over Europe during World War II, he became an English teacher at Milton Academy. He wanted to be buried next to his seafaring ancestors, Gilmore said. The selectmen eventually agreed, with pressure from Malcolm Hobbs, then editor of the Cape Codder weekly newspaper, Gilmore said.
Smith's daughter joined him years later with the selectmen's approval, granted on a case-by-case basis. Her mother still visits in Orleans, along with O'Brien's two young children, Gilmore said.
That's likely why, he said, bunches of plastic flowers and painted heart-shaped rocks cover the base of her headstone. A single scallop shell leans against her father's stone, also marked by a furled U.S. flag.
