Posts about my paternal lineage, the Deweese and Zimmerman families.
Min farfarsfar Parker L. Zimmerman gifte sig tre gånger. Efter ett par månaders äktenskap med Victoria Harris under 1897 i Franklin County, Missouri, Parker flyttade till Bollinger County, Missouri för att vara närmare sin familj. Hans föräldrar, Samuel och Sarah Zimmerman, bodde i Dongola, Bollinger, Missouri. På mars 31, 1902, 27-årige Parker gifte sig med sin andra fru, 22-åriga Mellie Bollinger.
1909 var förmodligen det värsta året för Parker Lonzo Bator Zimmerman liv. Han förlorade både sin tio månader gamla dotter Ida May Zimmerman och hans andra hustru Mellie Bollinger Zimmerman. Innan Parkers död i Cape Giraurdeau Tornado av 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. I 1909, Ollie would lose his mother, när Mellie
Gilford Dudley Story (1797 – 1870) is my third great-grandfather. There are six generations between the two of us.

För år, Jag kunde inte hitta min gammelmormor 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. Hatties mamma Margaret dog antingen när hon födde Hattie eller gick bort
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. Emellertid, 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 till George Washington Story och Malinda Davis dock
Min farfar 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 och hans tredje hustru Dolly. Morfar skulle födas maj 28, 1913. Harry är lite av ett mysterium när han dog runt om
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 av de mekanismer som regeringar använde för att samla in avgifter för väg
Min farfars far Parker var offer för en av de största naturkatastroferna att slå Cape Girardeau, MO, den 1949 tornado. Den drabbade staden på lördag, Maj 21, 1949 vid 06:54 p.m. Genom 7:00 p.m., Parker Zimmerman var död vid 74 år. I always found my great grandfather interesting because he led such a varied life
