OBITUARY OF HAROLD ZIMMERMAN
Harold Edwin Reuben Zimmerman, youngest son
of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Zimmerman of Eaton Center, Clark County, was
born Nov. 30, 1904, at Reedsburg, Wis., where he also received Holy
Baptism and spent his childhood years. He received his common
school education at a country school near Reedsburg and at Eaton
Center, where his parents had acquired a farm in March 1917. On
March 24, 1918 at Reedsburg he became a communicant member of the
Lutheran Church through confirmation.
After his confirmation he was employed on the home place and for
about a year at the Kalkofen factory. Then for some time before his
departure for the West he was local salesman for the Standard Oil
Co.
About two years ago he left for the west, first working in Montana
as a farmhand, thence going to Oregon, where he found employment in
a lumber mill at Cottage Grove. He was apparently getting ahead in
this work, having been promoted to a job with better pay, when
suddenly on Saturday evening, July 26th at 9:00 he met his death in
a collision with a parked truck while turning into a paved highway
from a side street.
The remains arrived at Owen on Thursday eve of last week and
funeral services were conducted on Friday at the home and at
Trinity Lutheran Church, interment being made at the Greenwood
Cemetery.
The departed reached the age of 25 years, 7 months and 26 days and
is mourned by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Zimmerman and these
brothers and sisters: Mrs. Minnie Scheukat and Edward of North
Freedom, Wis., Mrs. Clara Roloff and Albert, Jr. of Reedsburg,
Wis., Mrs. Wm. Buchsteiner, Mrs. Douglas Ormond and Miss Grace of
Greenwood and Town of Weston, William of Mirror Lake, Wis., and
Mrs. E. Haglund of St. Paul, Minn.
