Biography
Parents: Henry Zavitz 1747-1836 and Magdalena Zavitz 1720-Unknown
She married Lawence Furry and they settled in Wainfleet. Lawrence operated a farm and later added a hotel.
After the death of her husband, "Grandma" Furry continued to operate the hotel. She would not tolerate drunkenness and would water the drinks of the over-indulgers with cold tea.
Barbara was the last of the original Zavitz' to travel from Pennsylvania.
