County ,son of Johann (John) Zimmerman and Catherine Gamble. His siblings
were were Edward Zimmerman (Civil War); Henry Zimmerman (Civil War) then JOhn, Sarah
married Jacob Krebs and MAry Ann Zimmerman married Edward Franklin Miller. John was
mentioned in his sister, Marys obit 1906, PIne Grove , Schuylkill County, that he
couldn't come do to a stroke and lived in Lock Haven, PA.
Found thru the fed. census 1880 - Lock Haven City 1st ward A John Zimmerman 33 -Cigar
maker ;Clara age 34 wife
Children: Mary 7 ;Sarah 4; John D 3; Josephine abt 1880 and Lottie 1885.

Clara wife b. July 1846 53 six children four living.
JOsephine b. Sept 1879 20 S Occ: cutter( paper Mill)
Lottie b. May 1885 age 15 S at school.
This would be a long lost cousin through the Zimmerman family in Schuylkill County, Pa.
Looking for Clara maiden name? Their marriage date and were they married?
Why did he leave PIne GRove to go to Lock Haven?
Need John Zimmerman full birth and death date and were buried? Was John brought back to
Pine Grove to be buried?
Looking for his obit?
What happen to his children?
Would anyone have census history on John and Clara?
Any help would be appreciated and would like to connect to family.
I'm also a Zimmerman descendant through our RW LT Bernhard Zimmerman of PIne Grove
Twp, Berks County which is now Schuylkill County, PA.
BLessings,
