Obituary.

Mrs. Theresa Zimmermann died at the home of her son, George Zimmermann in
Stanton Township on Friday morning. She had been in poor health for the
past year, but had not been confined to her bed until a day or two ago. Her
demise was due to the complications attendant on old age and failing health.

Mrs. Zimmermann was born in Wurtembourg (sic--Wurttemberg), Germany, in
1828, and came to the United States when a girl. She was united in marriage
with Rev. Jacob Zimmermann at Baltimore in 1847. They came to this county
in 1869 when her husband was sent west by the United Evangelical association
to preach the gospel. His first charge was at Melbourne in this county.
Her husband died in 1870. She was the mother of six sons, four of whom
survive, Noah, George, Frank and William, all residents here. The sons who
preceded her to the grave are Jacob and Charles.

The deceased was a member of the Evangelical church. She was well known and
highly respected, being one of the earliest settlers in the county.

The funeral was held yesterday and a large concourse of people attended.

The service, conducted by Rev. H. Kleinsorge, an old time friend of the
family, was held at the same place and witnessed by many of the old
settlers, as those of the father thirty-two years ago. The remains were
laid to rest beside those of her husband in the Melbourne cemetery.

The dance given by the baseball boys Wednesday evening was quite a success.
A very good time is reported.
