am looking for information on my Great Grandfather Zimmerman. We believe his initals were J.R. He was married to Frances Lux of Manchester/Monticello Iowa. From this union 2 children were born, Harold born in 1909 and John 1911. John died in 1924, Harold in 1968. The marriage to Frances Lux ended apparently in divorce. Frances, being a devout Catholic would never discuss the father with Harold, so we know nearly nothing. The initals come from a letter found in Frances's effects after her death in 1978, when a sister asked if she had heard about J.R. Zimmerman, however no information is given.
I have found that there was a clothier in Monticello Iowa by the name of John Zimmerman. His family was a prominant family in the community.
I have been working on this one over a year with no success yet. Any help is greatly appreciated.
