I have some Zimmermans in my lines, but they are Swiss and do not connect
with yours below.
The 1870 census of Union Twp, Vanderburgh CO., IN, 145/145 has Fred
Zimmerman 58 (I think), Mary 37? (could be 57), Frederick 21 and Henry 8,
there is also a William Shuler 32 and a Frederick Feul 27 in the household.
The older men are laborers, all were born in Prussia. The age is off for
Fred SR, but that is not uncommon for censuses at that time. I didn't
find Henry in 1880, did find a Henrietta (b. abt 1862) in 1880.
The 1900 census of Union Twp, Vanderburgh CO., IN, has Fred 61 (May
1849) Germany: Caroline Feb 1854, Germany, md 15 yr, Caroline is the
mother of 5 children/ 4 living-- the children are listed; immigration year
for Fred is 1868, he was partially naturalized, no year for Caroline. The
Browning obit site has an obit for Fred, d. 1921. Caroline died 1945,
buried in Locust Hill. St. Paul's church had the services for Caroline.
No church is mentioned for her husband. Willard Library has a lot of
church records and might be able to help you.
I did find Fred and Caroline's stone on findagrave-- burial at
Locust Hill Cem, Evansville., IN. Same site-findagrave-- Schaffner Cem
has the stone for Fred and Mary Zimmerman.
There would be a death record in Evansville on Fred JR since he died
1921. Good luck in getting it-- I did get a death record on my gr-gr
grandma Zuber who died 1882 in Evansville with no problem several years ago.
I have heard though that it is a bit more difficult to get death records--
hopefully that has changed. That would be at the Vanderburgh CO health
dept. You can pull up that web page by googling Vanderburgh county Indiana
health dept. You do need to show proof of who you are (copy of driver's
license) on your application and kinship. Since Fred and Mary died before
1882, there would be no records on them other than a church record of some
kind. Lutherans and Catholics kept excellent church records.
I think this could be your Fred on immigration-- from ancestry--
Frdr. Zimmerman 47 laborer, Marie 48, Fredk 20, Fr? Male 17?, Wm 14,
Henia? 7, female, from Germany, going to US. Ship is Hammonia, departure
port-- Hamburg, Ger; arrival port-- New York, arrival date is Apr 15, 1868.
If Fred applied for citizenship, Willard would also have a record of the--
the declaration for citizenship has lots of info on it.
Good luck. Helen Zuber Keusch

I am looking for information for a Fredrich Zimmerman (1822 - 1873). He was
married to a woman with the first name Mary (1831-1886). I believe he was
the father of Frederick Zimmerman (1849-1921). He immigrated from Germany
around 1870. I have his buriel site which is located just off Hoppe Rd.
Wanting to find out if anyone has a record of immigration or other
information. Thanks
