ZIMMERMAN was born Jan. 24, 1855. a son of Jacob and Catharine
(Rapp) Zimmerman, natives respectively of Maryland and of Ohio.
His parents located in Pleasant township where his father had a farm and
a sawmill. He was reared and educated in Pleasant township and was
a member of his parents’ household until his marriage. He married
Emma J. Flory Sept. 3, 1882. She was born June 17, 1865, a
daughter of Joseph and Rachel (McConnell) Flory, who had lived in
Liberty township since 1862, when they were married. Her
grandparents were Jacob and Mattie (Leicher) Flory,
Pennsylvanians who came to Wayne county, Ohio, where her grandfather,
who was a cooper, worked at his trade and farmed. To Hiram and Emma J. (Flory) Zimmerman have been born six children, of whom the following brief mention is offered: Catharine E. died in infancy. Flora L., born July 6, 1885, married Alva Kustler, of Trumbull county, and has a daughter, Martha E., born Jan. 10, 1908. Another daughter married Willis Hade, of Scipio township, and has a son. Russell E., born Feb. 16, 1909. Margaret E., born Nov. 24, 1889, is living with her parents. She qualified for teaching school and has taught with distinguished success. Joseph E., born June 12, 1891, assists his father in the management of his farm. His youngest son, Paul C., died in infancy. Mr. Zimmerman is a successful farmer because he is up to date in all things pertaining to his business. He is a friend of education and a man of great public spirit, who is ready at any time to assist to the extent of his ability any movement which in his opinion promises good to any considerable number of his fellow citizens. He has pronounced political convictions, but has no desire to figure in public life. While adhering to the policies of his party in matters of national importance, he believes that local interests are best served by the election of honorable men of good judgment to office irrespective of party affiliation. Yet he never forgets that he is a Democrat. He is a member of St. Jacob's Reformed church. He moved from Pleasant township to Adams township three years ago.
