I have been trying to find information on a Jacob Zimmerman born 6-5-1841 died 6-15-1913,
in Germany. Married to Anna Martha Melhause born 2-10-1842 died 8-23-1907.
12 children:

Anna Zimmerman b. 9-28-1868, d. 6/14/1932
John Zimmerman b.4-1-1870,
Wilhelm Zimmerman b. 7-16-1871, 8/25/1962

Carl Zimmerman b. 4-29-1881d. 3/20/1955 in Rochelle, Illinois
Martha Zimmerman b. 3-1-1886, d.3/13/1963
I think that the first August probably passed away before the second one listed was born.
I do not feel that the info was for his death. This information was found in my grand
mother's bible after she had passed away.This information was for her fathers family
George Z. Zimmerman and his wife Christena Zimmerman (this was her maiden name and she was
from Kansas)born 7-18-1865. George and Cristena had 7 children,
Anna Martha Zimmerman b. 12/6/1892 married Onno Gruben and Alfred C. Bratton
Richard William Zimmerman b. 1/3/1894, married Lillian Gruben and Anna Bischoff
Rose Martha Zimmerman b. 5/8/1895 married Floyd Oyer
Ella Elizabeth Zimmerman born 4/24/1899
Emma Fredrickey Zimmerman b. 8/5/1904
Bertha Edith Zimmerman b. 9/17/1905
Maria Christena Zimmerman b. 8/14/1907. d. 8/16/1907
Most of these children were born in Reynolds township, Illinois.
Does any of this sound familiar. I do not know exactly where they were from. I know that
Jacob and Anna were from Germany and that they lived in different areas of Illinois.
Thanks
