Biographical history
Eva Margaretha Eisenhauer, the daughter of Johann George Eisenhauer and Anna Christina Margaretha Catherine Mosher, was born in 1776. In 1792 she married George Peter Zwicker of Mahone Bay, who as a prominent and prosperous inhabitant of the town, was eventually known throughout Lunenburg County as “King Peter.” The couple had seven children. Eva Margaretha Zwicker died in 1855 and was buried at Bayview Cemetery in Mahone Bay.
Custodial history
The photograph, which was apparently donated to the Mahone Bay Museum c. 1988, was found in the Museum's backlog in 2017 and processed in 2018.
