JOHN ANDREW
ZIMMERMAN
John Andrew Zimmerman and his wife, whose maiden name was Annie Elizabeth Breisman, were two of the five Charter Members of St. Paul’s and Mr. Zimmerman was one of the early Deacons.
Just why Mrs. Zimmerman’s name appears on the record as Mrs. Lucy Zimmerman, we are not able to say. Where her name appears on page 38 of this history, we have followed the record, but her son tells us that her name was Annie Elizabeth, and we now take occasion to say that two names refer to the same person.
