John Zimmerman Disappeared Twenty-
One Years Ago and Has Not
Been Heard from Since-Louis H.
Zimmerman May be Alive Out Weat
The matter of granting letters of administration
on the estate of the late
Louise Zimmerman of No. 819 Robinson
street, North Tonawanda, was
taken up before Surrogate Norman D.
Fish yesterday and developed the fact
that the woman's husband, Herman
Zimmerman, has been missing for 21
years and the whereabouts of one of
her sons, Louis H Zimmerman, is unknown.
The husband disappeared suddenly
and no trace of him was ever secured.
The police worked on the case but nobody
was found who saw him after he
left home. His family gave Zimmerman
up for dead long ago. Two years
ago the son left home, telling his family
that' he was going west. He was
last heard from when he wrote from
the mining districts of Colorado,
where he was then working. All efforts
to get in touch with him .since
then have failed. His family does not
believe that he is dead and hope to
hear from him. The missing son does
not know that his mother is dead.
Mrs. Zimmerman died on December
18, last. She left an estate of $200
personal property and $1,500 in real
estate. Besides the absent son she
left four sons, William, John, Edward
and Herman Zimmerman, all of North
Tonawanda, and four daughters, Miss
Rose Zimmerman. Mrs. Edward Kowsky.
and Mrs. Albert Kowsky of North
Tonawanda and Mrs. Louise Brietenbach
of Shawnee.
l e t t e r s were granted on the estate
to a son, Edward.
