Am just starting my Zimmermann line, so I don't have a lot of information
yet. I'm hoping to learn more about my gr-grandmother, Ernestine Pauline
(known as "Lena") ZIMMERMANN, b. March 7, 1863 or 1864 in Germany.
Her mother's maiden name was KRAUSE. She married William Henry G.
BRUNHOEFER on August 21, 1887 in Reedsburg, Sauk Co., Wisconsin. The
marriage certificate mentions Albert ZIMMERMANN as a witness and I am
guessing this may have been a brother. The family also lived in
Roscoe, Winnebago Co., Illinois and on a farm near Janesville, Rock
Co. Wisconsin. "Lena" was blind and spent some time in Chicago, possibly
with a son (Charles BRUNHOEFER) or in a care facility. She died February
6, 1949 in Shopiere, Rock Co., Wisconsin. Thank you for any help you may
have to offer.
