Daniel Zimmerman (1845-1925) – Death Certificate

Daniel Zimmerman was my 3rd Great Grandfather. He was born in Russia and immigrated to the U.S. where he died in the state of Kansas. The wife listed on his Death Certificate is his second wife Anna Maria (Schnube) Zimmerman, who he married the 18th of January 1916, 5 years after the death of his first wife Elisabeth. His eldest son, and my Great-Great Grandfather Rochus Zimmerman is listed as the informant on the death certificate.

I believe he was born in the city of Marienthal, and the region of Odessa in the country of Russia, though I’m not quite that far in my research. (He lists Odessa as his place of birth, and my records say Marienthal)
