Franklin Township and Waynesburg Borough
Henry Zimmerman.--The writer takes great pleasure in giving
a sketch of the life of Henry Zimmerman, of Franklin Township,
one of the oldest citizens of Greene County, born November 23,
in the year 1813. He has witnessed great strides in the progress
and improvement of the county. He has seen the wilderness
metamorphosed into highly cultivated and rich farming lands,
covered with pleasant homes and inhabited by a prosperous and
intelligent people. His parents, who were English and German
descent, came to Greene County in 1809, and resided in Whiteley
Township twenty-five years, then they took up five hundred acres
of land in Franklin Township, on which they resided until their
death. Henry was a member of nine children, all boys; and his
father lived to see the day--the proudest of his life--when he
and his nine sons could march to the polls in solid phalax and
cast ten democratic votes. At present writing (1888), however,
but two of his sons are living--the subject of our sketch and
Robert Zimmerman, of Wayne Township. In his youth Henry Zimmerman
learned the trade of stone masonry, which he has followed
throughout life, together with farming, being the owner of a fine
farm of one hundred and twenty-five acres of Franklin Township.
His California peaches are the finest ever brought to market in
this part of the country, and he takes great pride in his orchard
of over eight hundred trees. Mr. Zimmerman was united in marriage,
September 29, 1839, with Mary Ellen, daughter of William and Ellen (Hood)
Seals, who were of Irish and English ancestry. Mrs. Zimmerman is a grand
-daughter of James Seals, who was a Colonel in the Revolutionary war.
To Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman were born two children--Ellen J. and James
B., who was born in 1856, and in 1879 married Jane A., daughter of
Robert and Elizabeth Tewksberry. Their children are W.S., Robert H.,
and Gilbert T.R. Ellen J. was united in marriage with J.S. Herrington,
and they were the parents of two children--Mary C. (deceased) and Emma A.

where he resides.
