Elizabeth
was the second of six children born to Charles Mallory Shutts and Jennette E. McKenzie Shutts. Her family resided at Roxbury, New York in
1880 where her father was a laborer. They returned to Stamford about 1892
where her father was a farmer. Elizabeth married to Donald MacPherson on 29
January 1902 at Stamford. They made their home at that place on Liberty Street where her husband was first a house carpenter and later a water department
superintendent; and for a time, he was Supervisor of the Town of Stamford.
Elizabeth and Donald were the parents of one child, Malcolm MacPherson. Elizabeth was
active in her community for many years. She was a member of the Methodist
Church; Adult Fellowship Society; Women’s Missionary Society; Utsayantha Chapter,
Order of the Eastern Star; and Women’s Club of Stamford. She was a charter
member and registrar of Abigail Harper Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution. Elizabeth died at Bathgate Hospital at Stamford about three weeks
after suffering a heart attack. She is buried next to her husband at Stamford
Cemetery. Elizabeth was my second cousin twice removed.
