Agnes Marie Thiltgen, daughter of the late Herman Seiler and Caroline (Houselog) Seiler, was born July 28, 1929 in Zwingle, Iowa. She grew up and worked the family farm along with her father, mother, and her brothers and sisters. She attended school at the Franklin School in Zwingle, Iowa. On November 18, 1948 in LaMotte, Iowa, Agnes was united in marriage to Harry Anthony Thiltgen. They were blessed with seven children and remained in Iowa until 1963 when the family moved to the Newburg, Missouri area. Agnes and Harry operated the Onyx Mountain Caverns for several years. Agnes was a devoted mother, who spent her life caring for her children, and grandchildren at the family home. She enjoyed preparing meals grown from the family garden, as well as baking many delightful deserts. Agnes was known by her family, friends, and other visitors to the home, as a person who loved all children. In her spare time, she enjoyed going to flea markets to set up and sell items as well as to search for the perfect cookie jar or salt and pepper shakers to add to her collection. Agnes was a devoted Catholic, who was a long time member of St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church. She was a member of the Pulaski County Historical Society and she also volunteered for Good Samaritans Resource Center to help needy families. Agnes passed away Tuesday, January 10, 2017 while at the Rolla Manor Care Center of Rolla, Missouri having attained the age of eighty-seven years.
