Message Board Post:
I'm looking for descendants of Harry Zimmerman by his first wife. Harry died in his
70's after being hit by a car on his bicycle. He apparently rode is bike everywhere
and had the body of a 50 year old at time of death. He was given a blood transfusion by
his son, John, but he had too many injuries.
His descendants are as follows:
Harry Zimmerman born 1862
(was an orphan but knew where his bro/sisters were... Pennsylvania Dutch)
and late wife who died by 1910
(his second wife was Agnes Otis (her first husband was Mr. Shalley and they had a daughter
Beatrice before he died) and they had 4 children: Lillian b. 1911, Anna, Elizabeth, and
David who went by Cooper)
Sons:
Harry Zimmerman, Jr
married Mary Duffy
no kids, lived in Philadelphia.. not sure where.. can't find them on census
John E. Zimmerman b. 1882
married Amanda Hoffman(?) born 1883
Margaret b. 1906
john, jr b. 1907
harry h. b 1909
katherine/kathryn b. 1910
charles w. b. 1911
They ran a garage/mechanic automotive shop and lived on Shelton in Philadelphia.
Margaret married Mr. Pew and went to California.. were maried for a short time, divorced
him, came back to Philadelphia, married someone else and moved to kansas. She was also
the Society editor for one of the old Philadelphia papers.
Katherine was a social worker.

Amanda moved to Atlantic City after john's death.
