Portrait photograph of Eva (Sine) Hottel as a young woman with her hair pulled up. Eva was the daughter of Wilbur F. (1866-1926) and Ida Adelia (Wright) (1866-1936) Sine. She was the oldest of seven children born in the Johnston District of Shenandoah County. In 1910, the family lived on River Road on a farm they owned. Her father farmed and was a miller in a flour mill. She married Durus Calvin Hottel (1891-1964) in 1917. His parents were Calvin Hudson (1850-1890) and Rebecca Catherine (Beydler) (1852-1916) Hottel. Her husband worked for the railroad when they married, but later farmed. Eva and Durus did not have children of their own although they raised at least one girl, Mary Ann Norville, after the child’s own mother died. They lived east of Maurertown. The Northern Virginia Daily includes many short articles about Eva’s husband’s involvement in Shenandoah County politics. From about 1947 to 1955, for example, he was Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in Shenandoah County. When Eva died, she lived in Maurertown and was widowed.
Identified on an undated ID form by Mary Ann Norville who was raised by Eva after her own mother died in 1937.
