ZOLLMAN, CHARLES F.
(22 Feb 1923, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
OBITUARY
Charles F. Zollman was born in Ringgold county, Iowa, Dec. 10th, 1867. 
Died February 17, 1923, aged 55 years, 2 months and 17 days.  The remains
were laid to rest in West Fairlawn cemetery.  Funeral services were held
at the South M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. DeVore, and Rev. Ousler of
Dill City.
Interment was in Fairlawn cemetery, in charge of Grubitz & Son.  Relatives
from a distance were unable to be here on account of sickness.
The deceased when two years old moved with his parents to Nebraska, on a
home stead and lived there until he was 21 years of age.  He then went to
Montana with the intention of being a cowboy, but through an accident he
changed his mind and became a miner, living at Butte and working in the
mines until 1908, when he moved with his family to Oklahoma.  On December
27, 1905 he was married to Miss Pearl E. Zollman at Lexington, Virginia. 
To this union were born four children, Joan E., aged 16, John D., age 14,
and James Winston, aged 9 who still survive him and Neta May who died in
infancy.  Besides his family one brother Roy Zollman and family of Butte,
Montana, and three sisters Mrs. W. D. Burroughs of LaFayette, Ind., Mrs.
Joe Sinnott of Tacoma, Washington and Mrs. J. C. Wolfe of this place, and
other relatives and friends are left to mourn his loss.  In 1911 he joined
the South M. E. Church at Elk City and was still a member when he died,
having assured his loved ones and friends that he was ready and willing to
go to meet his Savior.
Mr. Zollman was a good husband and father, also a good neighbor.  For
several years he has been a sufferer from stomach trouble and diabetis,
which caused his death and suffered intensely at times.  He had been
confined to his bed since the 4th of January.
