Posts about my paternal lineage, the Deweese and Zimmerman families.
My great grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman married three times. After a couple of months marriage to Victoria Harris during 1897 in Franklin County, Missouri, Parker moved to Bollinger County, Missouri to be closer to his family. His parents, Samuel and Sarah Zimmerman, lived in Dongola, Bollinger, Missouri. Op Maart 31, 1902, 27-year-old Parker married his second wife, 22-year-old Mellie Bollinger.
1909 was waarskynlik die ergste jaar van Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman se lewe. Hy verloor beide sy tien maande oue dogter Ida Mei Zimmerman en sy tweede vrou Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Voor Parker se dood in die Kaap Giraurdeau Tornado van 1949, he would bury two more of his children. Both of them were adults. I can only imagine how hard 1909
Ollie J. Zimmerman was the third son born to my great-grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman and his second wife Mollie Bollinger. Ollie and his twin sister Dollie were born on either April 27, 1906 or April 27, 1907. Since Ollie’s headstone says “1906”, I’m going with April 27, 1906 as his birthdate. In 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, wanneer Mellie

Vir jare, I could not find my great-grandmother Dollie Zimmerman nee

Hattie was Dollie’s half-sister as she was the daughter of George Washington Story and his second wife Margaret Sweat. Dollie’s mother was George Story’s first wife Malinda Davis. Hattie se ma Margaret het óf gesterf toe sy geboorte gegee het aan Hattie óf oorlede
My second great-grandfather George Washington Story was born in August 1843 to Gilford Dudley Story and his second wife Nancy Jane Story nee Womack. George was born in Shawneetown, Gallatin County, Illinois, USA. He was the fourth of Dudley’s and Nancy’s nine children. George Washington Story married his first wife and my second great-grandmother Malinda Davis on November 26, 1863,
Many Zimmermans always believed my great-grandfather Parker L. Zimmerman was married five times. Egter, Parker was married three times to Victoria Harris, Mellie Bollinger and Lydia Margaret “Dollie” Story. It was actually Parker’ sister-in-law Amanda Isabelle “Mandy” Story, who was married five times. Mandy was born in Illinois on July 16, 1877 aan George Washington Story en Malinda Davis alhoewel
My oupa Frank O. Zimmerman’s oldest brother was Robert Harold “Harry” Zimmerman. They had a four older half-brothers and sisters and a deceased half-sister but Harry was the first child of Parker L. Zimmerman en sy derde vrou Dolly. Oupa gebore sou word Mei 28, 1913. Harry is a bit of a mystery as he died around the
My second great-grandfather John Riley Deweese served as Welch Township Republican Committee Chairman in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri for most of his adult life. Besides holding party caucuses in his home, John Riley served as Road Commissioner in the 1910s. Residents mostly traversed the roads by horse and buggy.

My great grandfather Parker was the victim of one of the largest natural disasters to hit Cape Girardeau, MO, die 1949 tornado. It hit the city on Saturday, Mei 21, 1949 op 06:54 namiddag. Deur 7:00 p.m., Parker Zimmerman was dead at 74 jaar oud. I always found my great grandfather interesting because he led such a varied life
