What was the typical life for the daughter of a military man in the 1800s?

The year is 1944 and this person is 73 years old. She was born in 1871 and her father was in the military. What kind of life did she live? What kind of education would she have received? What about her fashion?



Then she married a police officer, what's her life style now? What would her Class be, middle class?



I need this information as fast as possible because she is the character I am playing in my up coming play. This is all the information I have on Myrtle. PLEASE HELP!What was the typical life for the daughter of a military man in the 1800s?she would obviously be an obedient woman since military families usually follow strict disciplineWhat was the typical life for the daughter of a military man in the 1800s?You should see the classic movie "Fort Apache" (1948). Shirley Temple is a young girl (just 16, though in real life she was 20) who is transferred with her father, an Army Colonel, to a desert outpost. The year is 1876, as the outpost gets a message about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where Custer and his men met their fates.



Shirley goes through all kinds of problems, trying to set up a household with things at hand as all of the family's goods are on mule trains from St. Louis! She also has to learn and respect the traditions of military life, such as the rules against fraternization between officers (and their families) and enlisted men and their families.
