Scott Eugene Shuping, a well known retired tax specialist, is a native of Salisbury and lived in that city until moving with his family to Greensboro in 1907, when he was about 16 or 17 years of age.

Before going to Greensboro, where he became associated with a retail shoe business, he attended a business college in Columbia, S. C.

Mrs. Shuping, the former Annier Barrier, is also a native of Rowan County but lived in the rural area outside of Salisbury. Living there until her marriage, she attended the public schools and also Mont Amoena Seminary at Mt. Pleasant for four years, a Lutheran school for young ladies, where she completed her secular education.

Afterwards, she attended the Mont Amoena Seminary for two more years and studied art and music.

Mr. and Mrs. Shuping, who have known each other since they were 14 and 13 years of age, respectively, were married June 30, 1924 at the home of the bride.

They lived in Greensboro until Sept. of the year of their marriage when they moved to Orlando, Fla. Where Mr. Shuping was employed in the shoe department of one of the stores in Orlando.

They left Orlando, Fla. After three and one half years and went to Winston – Salem where he was manager of a shoe store. After two or three years residence in that city they came back to Greensboro where they lived until moving to Asheboro in 1947.

After many years in the retail shoe business, particularly with Callahan-Dobson Shoe Co., Dobsin-Sills Shoe Co. and Robert A. Sills Shoe Co., Mr. Shuping left this type of work in 1934 and became associated with Home Owners Loan Co., a governmental loan agency, and two or three years
later became employed with a the Internal Revenue Service. He was assigned as a representative for Internal Revenue Service in Randolph County.

He left this service to serve briefly as tax supervisor and collector for the Randolph County Tax Department but went back with the Internal Revenue Service where he remained until his retirement from that governmental unit in 1953.

He then went into the tax business on his own and remained until his partial retirement in 1961 and his complete retirement in 1962.

While in Greensboro Mr. and Mrs. Shuping were active members of West Market Street Methodist Church and have retained the same interest and activity in Asheboro’s first Methodist Church.

Mr. Shuping is now 75 years of age and Mrs. Shuping one year younger. They are living quietly at their beautifully landscaped home, located a short distance off of Highway 49A between Asheboro and Farmer.

Their golden wedding anniversary celebration was a pleasant event, with their four children, their eleven grandchildren and many other relatives in attendance, in addition to many friends from other places in the state, whom they had not seen in a long time, coming to honor them on the happy occasion.
