Death came as a shock to both relatives and friends, she not having been considered dangerously ill at any time recently.

She had been in this city on the last occasion little more than a month, having planned to visit her daughter in Moberly today. Mrs. Zimmerman, nee Dietrick, was born in Phillipsburg. Pa., 61 years ago. In 1855 she came to this city, making her home with her parents at once on the property on which she died. She was married to John Rechenberger, a veteran of the Civil war, in 1867. He died five years later and after a lapse of three years the widow was married to Joseph Zimmerman. To survive her she leaves a daughter and two sons--- Mrs. A. C. Scott, Moberly, Mo.; W. J. Rechenberger, of this city and Charles Rechenberger, of Arizona. Mrs. Zimmerman was a member of Moberly Women's Relief Corps of which her daughter, Mrs. A. C. Scott, was president. Mrs. Scott is one of the most prominent club women in Moberly, a distinction which was shared by her mother.
