I am wondering if anyone is researching either Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Zimmerman
or his brother Rev. Dr. Leander Zimmerman.
Both sons of Henry & Leah Zimmerman, as follows:
Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Zimmerman, b: 26/Apr/1848, Snydersburg, MD
Graduated Gettysburg Seminary 1876. Served pastorates in New York state.
Was President of Federation of Churches of New York State. Authored book:
"The God Juggernaut and Hinduism in India." (pub 1914) and other
publications. Gained fame as
lecturer in Orient and America on Far East, History, Archeology & Theology.
Was an authority on history of the coins of ancients.
Rev. Dr. Leander M. Zimmerman, b: 20/Aug/1860, birthplace unknown.
Graduated Gettysburg Seminary 1887. Began mission work in Southern
Baltimore. Organized Christ Lutheran Church (Christ English Lutheran
Church) 15/Feb/1888.
According to present day church employees, the was one of the first
"English speaking" Lutheran churches. Christ Lutheran Church is at 701 S.
Charles St., Baltimore, MD.
Would like to hear from anyone having ties to this family. Henry Zimmerman
was my
g-g-g-uncle.
