Seeking information on Lewis Zimmerman, born about 1894 according to 1930 Flint Census. He
died in 1856 (hit by a car in flint). I always knew him as being married to only Mary
(unknown last name), who died in 1991 (born 1901). But in the 1930 census he is married to
a Flossie Oliver.
Lewis & Mary supposidly had several children in the 1920's, including my direct
line, but he appears with Flossie in 1930 with no children. However, at the time of his
death his was was listed as Mary.Flossie died in 1940, according to Flint death records,
so Mary and Flossie are for sure not the same person.
Was Mary married prior to Lewis and the children took his name? I am REALLY confused.
Any help is appreciated, or even any ideas! Lewis stated he was born in Michigan. I've
traced Flossie's family to Lapeer County. Her father was Barney Oliver.
Hope this doesn't confuse anyone, but I'm confused myself.
Thanks for reading!
