HARRY ZIMMERHACKEL.

	Harry Zimmerhackel, attorney at law practicing at the Denver bar 
since 1909 and now serving as a member of the city council, which 
Indicates his deep interest in the welfare of Denver, was born May 2, 
1884, in the city which is still his home, being the only child of 
George and Jane (McSweeney) Zimmerhackel, the former a native of the 
state of New York, while the latter was horn in Pennsylvania. They left 
the east in the early '80s, removing from Dunkirk, New York, to 
Colorado, where the father conducted farming interests in the vicinity 
of Denver. Later he established a box and picture frame factory which 
is still in operation and which he successfully conducted until 1913, 
covering a period of thirty-one years. He is now engaged in the raising 
of citrus fruit near Miami, Florida, where he makes his home at the age 
of sixty-seven years. His wife also survives and is now fifty seven 
years of age.

	Harry Zimmerhackel was a little lad of six years when he entered 
the public schools of Denver, in which he passed through consecutive 
grades to his graduation from the high school. He afterward entered the 
University of Colorato at Boulder and gained his Bachelor of Arts 
degree upon graduation with the class of 1907. After reviewing the 
broad field of business in order to make choice of a vocation which he 
wished to make his life work, he decided upon law practice and devoted 
two years to preparatory study, being admitted to the bar in 1909, 
after having completed a law course in the University of Colorado with 
the LL. B. degree. He at once opened an office In Denver, where he has 
since remained, and in the intervening period he has gained a liberal 
clientage that has connected him with much important litigation. He is 
now attorney for the Denver Manufacturers Association and represents in 
a legal way many of the large corporations of Denver and of the state. 
He has specialized to a great extent in corporation law and there are 
few men more thoroughly informed concerning this branch of the 
profession. He is a member of the Denver Bar Association and also of 
the Colorado State Bar Association and the legal fraternity, Phi Delta 
Phi, and is favorably known among his brethren of the law.

	On the 9th of June, 1910, Mr. Zimmerhackel was united in marriage 
to Miss Rosina Vaughan, of Denver, whose parents were pioneer people of 
Colorado, her father acting as secretary to Governor Adams during his 
administration as chief executive of the state. To Mr. and Mrs. 
Zimmerhackel have been born two children: Jane, whose birth occurred in 
Denver, December 26, 1912; and Sarah, who was born December 28, 1817.

	 Mr. Zimmerhackel is a Master Mason, holding membership in 
Oriental Lodge, No. 87, A. F. & A. M.; Rocky Mountain Consistory, 
Scottish Rite; and El Jebel Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and he 
also is a member of the Optimists Club of Denver. His political 
allegiance is given to the republican party and he is serving on the 
city council of Denver, in which he has been made a member of the 
committees on public utilities, judiciary and claims. He is interested 
in the close study of all questions which come before the municipal 
legislative body and lends the weight of his aid and influence upon the 
side of progress and improvement. As a public official, as a lawyer, as 
a citizen and a man he stands high in the regard of the community in 
which his entire life has been passed.
