born in Baden, Germany and was the daughter of John and
Maria Smith who were early settlers in Erie County.
Murs. Christina Zollinger was the mother of ten
children and died in 1889.
The career of Fred Zollinger should be an
inspiration to any ambitious boy. He began as a
messenger boy of the Third National Bank of Sandusky, in
February, 1875, and has spent his life with that
institution, serving as clerk, assistant cashier and
cashier, and finally as president.
On September 6, 1862, he married Lucy H. McLouth

active worker in the Congressional Church, and for several
years served as president of the board of Trustees. He
was a member of the Men's Club of that church.
Mr. Zollinger died on the 5th day of December,

regret his departure, and a gap in the movements of the
community in which he had been so prominent for many years. |
