Message Board Post:
I am looking for more information on the Ziehmer's who settled in Clearfield
County/Forest County in Pennsylvania after immigrating from Germany/Prussia/Russia.
Wilhelm or William Ziehmer established the Forest Baptist Church and is buried in the
cemetery there, along with his wife Amelia, mother Christine, and brother John. I would
love to learn more about where he was born in Germany/Poland/Russia, as well as what
happened to his other brothers and sisters, as I know their names, but few dates. I DO
know however, that he had a brother named August Ziehmer who married a Susanna and then
moved and settled in Michigan. I would love any information on his siblings.
Here is what I know:
John(Johann) Ziehmer married Christine Gatzke(1824-1918).
They had the following children:
Wilhelm Ziehmer (1863-1953) m. Amelia Hinkle (1854-1920)
August Ziehmer (1866-1939) m. Susanna (1870-1955)
John Ziehmer (1871-1851) m./d. someone
Ludwig Ziehmer
Pauline Ziehmer
Julia
Minnie
Amelia
I also have some names of children of Wilhelm and August. Thanks so much!!
