Description
Raymon Walter Tamkin with his wife, Edna (Hoover) Tamkin, shown seated with their young son, Donald, posed between them.
Raymon and Edna are most remembered as the former owners of Artz Hardware on W. King Street in Strasburg.
Edna was born in Woodstock, to Charles Luther (1866-1942) and Sarah Catherine (Wisman) (1867-1943) Hoover.
In September 1930, she married Raymon “Ray” Walter Tamkin (1902-1989) in Woodstock although both Edna and Ray lived in Strasburg at the time. His parents were William (1859-1954) and Mary Ella “Nettie” (Brill) (1866-1908) Tamkin. His father was a well-known schoolteacher in Fort Valley.
Ray worked as a button maker at the time of their marriage.

The family attended Strasburg Methodist Church and were active in the community. The Northern Virginia Daily Newspaper mentioned them repeatedly as being involved in church or community activities throughout their lives together.
