I have a Joseph Zimmerman, born about 1855 in Iowa. What year was your
Joseph Sr. born? Do we have a match?

"The many Guttenberg (Iowa) friends and acquaintances of Joseph
Zimmerman,
Sr., were shocked upon learning of his death..... Of late years he had been
engaged quite extensively in the manufacture of lumber in the south, he and
his son William having operated a mill at Hansboro, Miss., but a few years
ago they disposed of their interests there and established a large mill at
Tampa, Fla., which continues in operation under supervision of his son. The
children are Joseph of Gilletts Grove, Ia., William of Tampa, Fla., Mrs.
John Limpach of Cedar Rapids., Mrs. Rose Rogde of Sioux Falls, S. Dak., and
Mrs Louisa Charpean of Paris, France and Mrs. Ann Kiene, Dubuque."
Anyone else connected with this family?
