Oregon Pioneer of 1851.
Jacob Zimmerman Obituary.
Jan. 26, 1899; Oregonian, p 8
Jacob Zimmerman, a pioneer of 1853, and an old resident of the East Side, passed away at his residence yesterday morning. He was a highly respected citizen, and his loss will be deeply regretted. He was 83 years old. Mr. Zimmerman was born at Hofenheim, in Baden, Germany, in the year 1816. He came to this country in 1843, and settled in Cincinnati, O. He left that city in the spring of 1852, and with his family started on the journey across the plains, arriving in Oregon in the fall of that year, weary, footsore and worn, but cheerful.
Though a machinist by trade, Mr. Zimmerman entered actively into the pursuit of agriculture, and, being an unceasing worker, knowing no fatigue, he soon came into possession of a competence. All those who knew Mr. Zimmerman treasure the recollection as a happy remembrance of an honesty and uprightness that lends dignity to a man. Always a hard worker when in health, and having enjoyed good health until a few weeks ago, it follows that Mr. Zimmerman has been one of the foremost pioneers in the development of Oregon. He was a charter member of Mount Tabor lodge, No. 42, A.F. & A.M.
