Children of John M. and Anna M. Zimmerman

In Section A at St. Joseph Cemetery in Sandusky, Ohio, is a tombstone that honors the memory of two children of John M. and Anna M. Zimmerman.

Anna Catharine Zimmerman died on August 13, 1859, at the age of 19. Her brother, Charles F. Zimmerman died on March 25, 1870, at the age of 32.

The Zimmerman tombstone has been cleaned recently. It is amazing how legible the lettering is on the monument, considering that the individuals passed away well over 100 years ago.

Rest in peace, Anna and Charles.
