Arlington Enterprise
Thursday 22 January 1920

Alb. Zimmermann Expires Tuesday
 The community suffered a sever shock Tuesday evening when the word was
passed around that Albert Zimmermann passed away.  He had been ailing but
one day and passed quietly into the arms of His Maker at 9 o’clock P.M. 
His death was due to hardening of the arteries.  Tuesday morning he had a
slight stroke but seemed to be on the mend until that evening when a
relapse set in and the end came quickly.
 Mr. Zimmermann reached the age of 82 years and 2 days.  He was one of the
first business men this village had and he has been a continuous resident
for many yeas.  His health was apparently on the decline for many years but
he reached an advanced age, nevertheless, and was able to attend a meeting
of the stockholders of the First State Bank, of which he was President, on
the day before his death.  His sudden demise was a severe shock to his many
old-time friends and acquaintances as well as the members of his family who
were so near and dear to him.  He is survived by his sorrowing wife, two
children, Mrs. A. W. Scharping and Alfred J. Zimmermann, and a brother,
William, all of this place.
 The funeral was held Friday afternoon with services at teh home and
interment in the Arlington public cemetery.
 Obituary next week.

Arlington Enterprise
Thursday 29 January 1920

Alb. Zimmermann
 Albert Zimmermann, the account of whose death appeared in the Enterprise
last week, died at his home in this village Tuesday evening, Jan. 20th from
hardening of the arteries due to the infirmities of old age.
 Deceased was born in Ulrichshoff, Pommern, Germany, January 18th, 1838,
and reached the age of 82 years and 2 days.  He emigrated to America in
1866 and spent a few years in Wisconsin before coming to Minnesota.  He
made his home at Henderson and was married to Ernestine Haack in 1872.  In
1881 they moved to Arlington and resided here ever since, a period of 38
years.
 Besides his wife and brother, William, deceased is survived by two
children: Mrs. A. W. Scharping and Alfred J. Zimmermann, all residents of
Arlington.  Two sons preceded the father to the grave.
 Mr. Zimmermann was one of the pioneers of the village coming here before
the railroad was put through.  While the railroad was being constructed he
and his brother, William, conducted a hotel.  Later they went into the farm
implement business.  They were also in the retail liquor business for many
years.
 Deceased had a large circle of friends and acquaintances who held him in
high esteem.  He held the office of Judge of Probate of Sibley County for a
term, was mayor of Arlington for a year and served on the school board for
many years.  For the last number of years he was President of the First
State Bank of this place.  During his active years he held many offices of
trust and was at all times an enthusiastic worker in civic affairs.
 The remains were laid to rest in Cemetery Arlington Friday afternoon, the
funeral being conducted under Masonic auspices of which order deceased was
a member for many years.  Service was held at the home at two o’clock P.M.
and also at the Commercial Hall after the ceremony.  Rev. Buck of New Rome
officiated.  Despite the inclement weather of the day a large concourse of
friends paid their last respects to the departed and the floral offerings
were many and beautiful.
