Zimmerman, Mr./Mrs. C.H. (Gold – 10 JUL 1957)
Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Zimmerman, former Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.) residents,
celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary by holding Open House at the
Evangelical United Brethren Church at Augusta, Wis., on Sunday, July 14, 1957,
from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
The church was decorated with white bells and gold streamers with large bouquets
of gold colored chrysanthemums. The Rev. Allen Franke, pastor, gave a short talk
and offered a prayer.
About 150 relatives and friends attended the party. Miss Carol Zimmerman,
Janesville, granddaughter of the couple, presided at the guest book; the Ladies
Aid of the church served the lunch; Mrs. Robert Dittner, Bayport, Minn., poured;
Mrs. Gene Kohnke cut and served the cake, which was all white with a topping of
gold and white bells and a gold "50."
The Zimmerman's received a purse of money, many cards, gifts and flowers, among
them a bouquet of yellow roses and chrysanthemums, a gift from a nephew and
wife, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Zimmerman of Michigan, who were unable to attend.
Miss Amelia Krause and Carl Zimmerman were united in marriage at the home of her
parents in North Freedom, Wis. on July 10, 1907. They were attended by Miss Anna
Stabnow and Ed Sander, both deceased.

the family moved to Greenwood, where Mr. Zimmerman managed the Greenwood
Farmers' Cooperative Mercantile and Shipping Association Store. In 1928 they
returned to Augusta where he , for a while, owned and operated his own store.
For the last few years he has been a salesman for a clothing company in
Janesville.
