    In the cemetary in Green Springs, Sandusky, Ohio (just north of Seneca
County), west of the intersection of N. Kansas St. and Maple Lane, across
from the Indian Springs Mobile Home Park, lies the grave of John and
Rebecca Zimmerman.  The inscription for John is:
               John Zimmerman
                    died
               Jan. 23, 1879
                    aged
               78 years, 2M's, and 12 days
                  O.M. Mallernee   Clyde
             The inscription for Rebecca is:
                   Rebecca
                Wife of J. Zimmerman
                     died
                  Dec. 22, 1860
                     aged
                  58years, 24 days
    The grave stone is in fair shape with a lot of lichen growth on the
outside.  It is a tall thin shape with a star GAR marker at the base on
John's side with the years 1861-1865.  It seems that John did serve in the
Civil War in some capacity.  
    Beside the grave stone was one for William Zimmerman and his family. 
Maybe this is another family or a son.  The inscriptions are as follows:
                 William Zimmerman
                 Mar 23, 1825-Jan 9, 1911
                 Elizabeth
                 his wife
                 April 20, 1830-Sept 5, 1886
                 Elijah H.
                 son
                 Oct 21, 1864-Aug 17, 1890
                 Mary B.
                 dau
                 Nov 12, 1858-Sept 4, 1859
    Assuming that William was the son of John and Rebecca he would have
been 35 years of age in the 1860 census, therefore not listed with them. 
There is also the possibility that he was a brother as well.
