Joseph Zimmerman bn 1863 E. Hanover, Lebanon Co., PA/also Peoria, Illinois
I am trying to locate Joseph Lincoln Bross Zimmerman born March 29, 1863 in Lebanon County, PA to Joseph Zimmerman and Mary Bross.Joseph was born after his father was killed in the Civil War and for some time (as did all of his siblings)lived in an orphanage in PA.He was the youngest brother of my g-grandmother, Emma Zimmerman Wolf.I just found a photo postcard sent to Emma in 1908.It is dated "April 18, 1908, Peoria, Ill.Mr. and Mrs J. B. Wolf, for bro. and sister.Can you guess who these children belong to...Joe"
The photo is of eight darling children and I think that they are 4 boys and 4 girls.From the size of them I think the oldest is a girl, then a boy, and then a girl- the rest I am not sure about but the baby I think is a girl.Emma and family live in Peoria for some time before moving on to California.She also lived with her other siblings in Ohio and Indiana.I would love to find out more about Joseph and his family.
