ALBERT
ZIMMERMAN. If it were not for
the capability and energy of the agricultural class the
whole world would go hungry, especially now when foreign
countries are clamoring for American foodstuffs. It is
the farmers who are feeding the world, and all honor should
be given the men who are willing to work as they have to in
order to get even a fair profit upon their investment of
money and time. One of the men who is conducting his
fertile eighty-acre farm in Clinton township both profitably
and according to modern methods is Albert Zimmerman.
Albert Zimmerman was born in
German township, Fulton county, in 1865, a son of Jacob
and Anna (Miller) Zimmerman, farming people. Until
he attained his majority Albert Zimmerman alternated
attendance at the country schools during the winter with
working on his father's farm in the summer, and in this way
acquired a practical knowledge of what was to be his life
work while he was gaining an educational training.
In 1889 Mr. Zimmerman was united in marriage
with Anna S. Leu, a daughter of George and Salome
(Wanner) Leu of Franklin township, Fulton county,
Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman have two children, namely:
Minnie, who is now Mrs. E. W. Sturdevant, of
Toledo, Ohio and George A. who is also a resident of
Toledo, Ohio.
Following his marriage Mr. Zimmerman rented
eighty acres of land and conducted it until 1913, working
very hard to accumulate a sufficient amount of money to buy
a farm of his own, which he did in that year, it being his
present one. Since moving on it he has been engaged in
doing general farming and making improvements, and now has a
comfortable home. His neat buildings, well-kept
fences, sleek stock and modern machinery proclaim his
prosperity and skill louder than any words. This
has not been brought about without a great deal of hard
labor and many sacrifices, but he feels that the results are
worth the exertion.
Being a very intelligent man, Mr. Zimmerman
has always felt that he ought to choose his own candidates
and not be hidebound with reference to their party
affiliations. The man, in his opinion, Is the
essential qualification, not his party, and he votes
accordingly. Having worked hard for his money, and
thriftily saved it, Mr. Zimmerman is not in
favor of a lavish and extravagant expenditure of public
funds, although he does believe in proper development and
improvement brought about without undue strain. Sound,
conservative and reliable, Mr. Zimmerman
stands as one of the best types of the successful
agriculturists of Fulton county, and his community is proud
of him.
