**********************************************************************

E. C. Zimmerman was born in Frederick City, Maryland, October 28, 1845.
His father was a merchant in Frederick City and in Baltimore for many
years.  He received a good education at Heidleburg College.  In 1859,
he moved to St. Joseph and entered as a student the law office of Judge
I. C. Parker, of this city, and was admitted to the bar in 1869.  Like
many adventurers in quest of wealth, he went to Leadville, invested a
large amount in mining speculations, which ultimately proved a failure.
He returned to St. Joseph with what he had left, and commenced buying
and selling property and building houses for rent.  By close attention
to business he has laid the foundation for a successful career.  In his
intercourse with the world he is known no less for his strict integrity
than for his rigorous exaction of the same conduct on the part of those
with whom he transacts business.  In 1868, he married Miss Ada Hawley,
of St. Joseph, daughter of James Hawley, Esq., now living in Iowa.
They have two children, Eugene and Lura.
