Kathryn Shutt, about 1917


Yesterday, we saw a circa-1880 tintype photograph of Emma Shutt, who lived on Neshaminy Dell Farm in Doylestown more than a hundred years ago. From the same family album comes this photo of Emma’s niece, Kathryn Shutt.

Kathryn, the daughter of Emma’s brother, G. Frank Shutt, was born in 1904 and at her death in 1998 was 94 years old. Here she is with her dog in about 1917, playing in a field at Neshaminy Dell. Kathryn went on to complete four years of college, become a public school teacher and marry later in life. Like her aunt Emma, she never had children.
