Posts about my paternal lineage, the Deweese and Zimmerman families.
Min oldefar Parker L. Zimmerman giftede sig tre gange. Efter et par måneders ægteskab med Victoria Harris under 1897 i Franklin County, Missouri, Parker flyttede til Bollinger County, Missouri for at være tættere på sin familie. Hans forældre, Samuel og Sarah Zimmerman, boede i Dongola, Bollinger, Missouri. På marts 31, 1902, 27-årige Parker giftede sig med sin anden kone, 22-årige Mellie Bollinger.
1909 var sandsynligvis det værste år af Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman liv. Han mistede begge sine ti måneder gamle datter Ida May Zimmerman og hans anden kone Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Før Parker død i Cape Giraurdeau Tornado af 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.

Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us.

I årevis, I could not find my great-grandmother Dollie Zimmerman nee
My great grandmother Lydia Margaret “Dollie” Story Zimmerman’s youngest sister Hattie May Story was born on August 20, 1896. 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’s mother Margaret either died in giving birth to Hattie or passed away
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. Men, 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 to George Washington Story and Malinda Davis although
Min bedstefar Frank O. Zimmerman ældste bror var Robert Harold “Harry” Zimmerman. De havde en fire ældre halvbrødre og søstre og en afdød halvsøster men Harry var den første barn af Parker L. Zimmerman og hans tredje kone Dolly. Bedstefar ville blive født maj 28, 1913. Harry er lidt af et mysterium, da han døde omkring
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. En af de mekanismer, som regeringerne brugte til at opkræve vejafgifter
Min oldefar Parker var offer for en af de største naturkatastrofer ramt Cape Girardeau, MO, den 1949 tornado. Det ramte byen på lørdag, Maj 21, 1949 ved 06:54 p.m. Ved 7:00 p.m., Parker Zimmerman var død på 74 år. I always found my great grandfather interesting because he led such a varied life
