George H. Zimmerman

  George H. Zimmerman, one of Frederick’s best known citizens, died Saturday at 
1.55 a. m. at his residence, 302 Rockwell Terrace.  Mr. Zimmerman had been ill 
for some time but his condition did not become critical until the last few 
days.  Born near Walkersville, May 11, 1850, Mr. Zimmerman was a son of the 
late William H. and Sarah A. Zimmerman.  He spent his early life in 
Walkersville district where he acquired a general education in the public 
schools.  When he was fourteen years of age he began life for himself by 
becoming a clerk in the store of Zimmerman and Schultz at Sykesville where he 
remained for about three years.
  In 1867, he came to Frederick where he has since resided.  He was employed in 
his father’s grocery store until 1870 when he was elected teller of the First 
National Bank of Frederick.  This position he filled for a period of seventeen 
years, when he resigned to accept the office of assistant cashier of the 
Frederick County National Bank.
  In 1887, he, with David Lowenstein, Thomas H. Haller, M. Eugene Getzendanner, 
and John Baumgartner organized the Frederick Seamless Hosiery Company, which in 
1889 was absorbed by the Union Manufacturing Company, under the same 
management.  In 1889 he severed his connection with the Frederick County 
National Bank and devoted his entire time to this new enterprise and at the 
time of his death was vice-president and treasurer.  He was a director of the 
Frederick County National Bank and a trustee of the Home for the Aged.  He 
served for a number of years as a trustee for the Loats Home.  He was an active 
member of the Evangelical Lutheran church in which he served in official 
capacities for many years.  He was treasurer of the church school at the time 
of his death having served in this capacity for 40 years.
  Fraternally he was a Mason, being a member of Columbia Lodge, No. 58, A. F. 
and A. M. Enoch Chapter, No. 23, Royal Arch Masons, and Jacques DeMolay 
Commandery, No.4, Knights Templar.  He was the oldest member of this 
Commandery.  He was also a member of the Independent Hose Co., No. 1.
  Politically he was a Republican and served as a member of the Board of 
Aldermen from 1898 to 1901, during Mayor Wm. F. Chilton’s administration.
  Mr. Zimmerman was married in 1873 to Miss Florence V. Frazier, who died in 
1911.  He is survived by two sisters, Misses Amanda D. and Clara E. Zimmerman, 
and the following children:  William D., Thomas L., Mrs. Willard Markey, and 
Miss Grace E. Zimmerman, of Frederick, and George C. Zimmerman, of 
Philadelphia, Pa., and three grandsons and two granddaughters.
  The funeral will be held from his late home this afternoon 2.30 o’clock with 
services at the house and interment in Mt. Olivet cemetery.  Services will be
