Notes
1) Harry was born in Tremont, Schuykill County, Pennsylvania and live
in
Manayunk when he married Barbara. Harry was a grocer and Barbara was
a
mill
hand. During the 1900 Census, Barbara said she was born in 1866 in
sheet
# (176). Harry said he was born in 1865 but his marriage cert says
1866. Harry and Barbara were married by G.W.F Graff: Minister of the
Gospel. Harry and Barbara were married on December 2, 1887 in
Philadelphia. (see marriage certificate)
2) Barbara Disque was born in Germany. The border often switch back and
forth from French rule to Germany rule. She live on Frankford Avenue
at
the time she married Harry. Barbara Disque was from Alsase-Lorrian
which
borders France and Germany. Barbara was of French heritage.
3) The name "Zimmerman" means Carpenter in German. Many Zimmerman's
live
in Lancaster County an practice the religions of Amish and
Mennonite. I
believe our Zimmerman line practiced the Luthern religion.
