I've "rescued" a group photographs belonging to the ZIMMERMAN Family of
Pennsylvania. The photographs included in this group are as follows:
1. Clara ZIMMERMAN GUTELIUS, taken at the Ilear Studio in Mifflinburg,
PA, 1880's or 1890's, Clara noted as about 29 years old at the time, may be
a "memorial" type photograph
2. John ZIMMERMAN and family (John, wife, older sons, Landis, Ira, and
Rebecca ZIMMERMAN FINN), taken at the T. H. Lippiatt Studio in Shamokin, PA,
1880's, youngest male about 10 years old with father John likely in his
60's, note "John is brother to Jacob" and "oldest sons names
unknown"
3. Emanuel Edward ZIMMERMAN, taken at the James Haus Studio in
Mifflinburg, PA, 1870's or 1880's, man in his 40's, note "Father of
Harry,
Mae, Charles, and Oliver"
4. "Great Uncle Sam & Wife", taken at the Fallman Studio with no
location, 1890's, couple in their 60's or 70's
Based on limited research I was able to locate quite a lot of information
regarding this family as follows:

wonderful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with
family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might
be, please contact me.
