Description
Portrait of Margaret Amelia (Tisinger) Shutters as a young woman, probably taken not long before she married.
Margaret was one of at least seven children born to Joseph Homer (1853-1838) and Julia Arnetta (Henkel) (1859-1911) Tisinger, a farming family in the Ashby District of Shenandoah County. In 1910, Margaret lived with her parents and siblings and worked as a music teacher.
She married a few years later in September 1913, to Harry Bernard Shutters (1890-1969), the son of David E. (1868-1954) and Emma J. (Stover) (1870-1960) Shutters. When he married, Harry’s occupation was “farmer”, however, by 1920 and for decades after, he worked for the U.S. Post Office as a mail carrier.
The couple lived in Mt. Jackson where they raised two daughters: Margaret Elizabeth and Helen Amelia Shutters.
Both Margaret and Harry are buried together in the Mt. Jackson Cemetery.
