2Funeral Notice for Fred W. Weber, Yakima Morning Herald, Thursday July 18, 1918. p. 6. "The Funeral of Fred W. Weber, who was drowned in the Naches River at Horseshoe Bend on Tuesday will be held at 1 o'clock this afternoon from the Nob Hill Evangelical Church. Burial will take place in Tahoma Cemetery.".
3Heroic Effort to Save Chum's Life, Yakima Daily Republic, Part 1, p. 3, Wednesday, July 17, 1918. "HEROIC EFFORT TO SAVE CHUMS LIFE - Fred Weber drowns while trying to ford Naches River at Horseshoe Bend -.". "HEROIC EFFORT TO SAVE CHUM'S LIFE - Fred Weber drowns while trying to ford Naches River at Horseshoe Bend - Though his companion, Samuel Shuman, made heroic efforts to save his life Fred Weber was drowned late yesterday afternoon while attempting to ford the Yakima River at Horseshoe Bend.
When the water at Clear creek, where they were fishing, became muddy early in the afternoon, the two young men started for Yakima in their car. At Horseshoe Bend they saw clear water and decided to try their luck. Weber, lured by a deep hole on the opposite side of the river, suggested fording the stream. Shuman at first objected, but finally expressed his willingness to go. When he was across he saw Weber floating down the stream a distance below him.
HOW IT HAPPENED
"Weber was carried under the water for about 100 feet," says Mrs. George Longmire who was called to the scene of the accident by Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Pontius, the only eye-witnesses."Shuman went after him as fast as he could. Part of the time he went under water. Later he said that he could not have done it at any other time and wondered how he was able to do it at all.
"When he reached the body, wedged in between rocks, he was still 20 feet from the shore. He pulled Weber to the surface, though the current there is strong, and picked him up in his arms as he started to walk the remaining distance. We who watched did not think he could get across at all. The stream is so swift that it is not easy at any time. Hampered by the weight of the body, Shuman staggered slowly along, at times appearing to stand still for several minutes while gathering his strength for another step.
Funeral Services Tomorrow
"First aid measures were tried the minute he reached the shore. B. J. Coe, who had been fishing, and saw Shuman on the rocks, swam across to help; but it was too late. Weber's body had a bad bruise between the eyes and also a bruise over the heart, so it may be that he did not die from drowning at all. He may have slipped as a result of a sudden attack of heart trouble, which he had.
After the unavailing efforts to resuscitate his comrade, Shuman went to Yakima and back to look after affairs. H. A. Shaw, acting coroner, brought the body to Yakima last night. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at the Evangelical Nob Hill Church at one o'clock.
Fred Weber, 26 years old, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Weber of Nob Hill. He and Shuman are neighbors and were chums during their years at the Yakima high school, of which both are graduates. George Longmire, Mr. Pontius, Shuman, and Coe carried the body to the Fechter cabin."

6Patsy Clark Email of 5 Feb 2004 to Dianne Stevens. "This story was forwarded to Patsy by Earl Wash: "Christian and Matilda are buried in Zion Cemetery just out of Canby, Oregon. Christian was the first buried there which had been a corner of his farm land, along with corners of three other farms, set aside for the purpose of a new cemetery. This was the result of a Presbyterian woman having been buried alongside a German Evangelical pastor. This was when a fireworks display started without the need for fireworks nor matches.
The Germans, at least at that time, were a very clannish group. That is to say, “We will all speak German in our schools and churches, all our sons and daughters will marry only to Germans and will all be very happy ever after.” (Or until further notice.)
“Further notice” came one day in 1895 when son Albert decided to fall in love and marry a pretty little auburn haired Scottish girl by the name of Eva Verna Bickal. As a result of this union, she was by most of the family treated as an outcast. There were three of his siblings
she did manage to befriend.
Albert (granddad), being somewhat of a young rebel, tired of what he found was happening, decided to remove an edge of the German stigma by changing ever so slightly the spelling of his last name. Others around him were told that, 'In the presence of my wife, we will speak English.' "."

Hello and thanks for your inquiry.
The connection of the Wintermantle family to mine is by marriage through
Herman O. Wintermantle (b. 1875 in Iowa). He married Emma Wenger (my
blood relative) on June 27, 1900 in Marion County, Oregon. They had two
children that I am aware of: Mabel (b. about 1901) and Pearl (b. about
1903).
This family has been a dead end in my research. They apparently
disappeared from Oregon in the early 1900s to places unknown. I hope
someday to find out where they went and what became of them. I'm afraid
that I can't offer much information on the Wintermantle family itself, as
I have not attempted to trace that family to its roots.
Dave Runner
Salem, Oregon.". "I don't know if this will be helpful at all, but Herman's wife, Emma
Wenger, was born in Monroe, Green Co., WI. Her parents, Jacob and Rosina
(Dick) Wenger, came to the U.S. in about 1860 from Canton Berne in
Switzerland.
Thanks again, and if you ever find out what became of Herman and Emma,
please let me know. I seem to remember hearing that after they left
Oregon they went to Washington state for a while, but I have been unable
to find them there in the little research I have done on that lead. Good
luck."

1First Grave in Zion in 1897 Recalled in Daughter's Death, Unknown Newspaper - Unknown date, Personal files of Dianne Z. Stevens, 1301 Reetz Road, Madison, WI 53711. "First Grave in Zion In 1897 Recalled In Daughter's Death
Internment in Zion Memorial Park was given Friday to Mrs. George Zimmerman, nee Minnie Wintermantle, 79, of Portland, whose father, the late Christian Wintermantle, was the first person to be interred in the Canby cemetery.
Mrs. Zimmerman was 11 when she came to Oregon with her parents in 1892. She attended Mundorff school after the family moved from Jefferson in 1894 to live on the old Henry Kraft farm on Union Hall road, and later taught classes for a year at Mundorff. Her father was a Civil war veteran, a corporal with the 26th Wisconsin infantry. He and several other Canby E.U.B. church members, including Jacob Mundorff and John Koehler, a Civil war veteran who died in 1905, bought the original acre for cemetery use in 1897, and Wintermantle's grave was dug that fall - the first in the now city-owned cemetery.
Mrs. Zimmerman's widower and son, Forrest, who flew from Chicago for the funeral were here Saturday to visit Mr. and Mrs. John Koehler. Mr Koehler's first wife, Louise, who died in 1936, was the sister of Mrs. Zimmerman. Of the eight daughters and three sons of the Christian Wintermantles, only two survive - Ella Mundorff of Cornelius and Clara Wardle of Yakima.".

1First Grave in Zion in 1897 Recalled in Daughter's Death, Unknown Newspaper - Unknown date, Personal files of Dianne Z. Stevens, 1301 Reetz Road, Madison, WI 53711. "First Grave in Zion In 1897 Recalled In Daughter's Death
Internment in Zion Memorial Park was given Friday to Mrs. George Zimmerman, nee Minnie Wintermantle, 79, of Portland, whose father, the late Christian Wintermantle, was the first person to be interred in the Canby cemetery.
Mrs. Zimmerman was 11 when she came to Oregon with her parents in 1892. She attended Mundorff school after the family moved from Jefferson in 1894 to live on the old Henry Kraft farm on Union Hall road, and later taught classes for a year at Mundorff. Her father was a Civil war veteran, a corporal with the 26th Wisconsin infantry. He and several other Canby E.U.B. church members, including Jacob Mundorff and John Koehler, a Civil war veteran who died in 1905, bought the original acre for cemetery use in 1897, and Wintermantle's grave was dug that fall - the first in the now city-owned cemetery.
Mrs. Zimmerman's widower and son, Forrest, who flew from Chicago for the funeral were here Saturday to visit Mr. and Mrs. John Koehler. Mr Koehler's first wife, Louise, who died in 1936, was the sister of Mrs. Zimmerman. Of the eight daughters and three sons of the Christian Wintermantles, only two survive - Ella Mundorff of Cornelius and Clara Wardle of Yakima.".

4Anna Zimmerman Nelson, History of Christian and Elizabeth Zimmerman, updated, pages 32-40 of the Zimmerman History Packet received by DZStevens from J Rose on 26 Feb 2005. "This next section is an updating of the work of Anna Zimmerman Nelson, and shared with us by Fern Zimmerman of Santa Ana, California.
During the year 1832, there came into the affairs of Christian Zimmerman a simple little circumstance which changed the course of his whole life.
One Sunday afternoon, Christian and his younger brother, Henry, were sitting on a fence not far from their home, when a group of young men about their own age joined them. These young men were discussing the fact that the English Sovereign was giving away one hundred acres of land in Canada to anyone who would go there and live on it. This looked like a wonderful opportunity to these boys who worked for a few cents a day, or perhaps received only thirty dollars for a whole years work, out of which they had to furnish their own clothes, which were made by hand. It was not an unusual thing during the busy season for these boys to rise at three o'clock in the morning and thresh grain with a flail until late at night. So the Sovereign's offer of one hundred acres of land brought forth quite a discussion. Some contended that here there really might be a great opportunity. Others thought that the hardships to be endured were too great. The long and perilous journey to the new world was in itself considered dangerous, and if the trip were made successfully, the hardships to be endured after arrival were almost unsurmountable. Were there not great risks from sickness and hunger; from wild beasts and uncivilized people? So the discussion went on. The majority thought that they would like to avail themselves of this opportunity, if it were closer at hand; but that under the cir cumstances, the adventure to secure it was attended with too much sacrifice and danger. Christian was very much interested in this offer of the English Government, and finally decided that it was an opportunity which he must seize, and he made up his mind that he would go to Canada and have one of those farms. He realized that in Germany the opportunities of ever having a home of his own were not very good. Many of his friends tried to discourage him by telling him that rattle snakes and bears would kill him, and that he would never make the journey safely. The ocean voyage had to be made in sail ships at that time, and it took from six to fourteen weeks to come across the ocean. Christian could not be discouraged or turned from his purpose, and in due time made the journey.
Christian Zimmerman was born in 1800, so he was thirty-two years of age when he came to Canada and settled at Sebringsville, Ontario, Canada. His brother, Henry, came in 1837. Christian had his hundred acre farm.
The hundred acre plots were laid out in long narrow strips so that each farm would touch the highway. Christian's plot was one-fourth mile east of the present village of Sebringsville, on the south side of the road. The Buffalo and Lake Erie Railroad ran across the farm in later-. years. The old log house stood about ten rods away from the highway. When Henry came, he took a farm about fifty miles farther up the railroad.
Modes of communication and travel were difficult in those days, and it was a very easy matter to get out of touch with one's relatives. Although Henry lived only fifty miles from Christian, we know very little about his family. We do know that Henry came quite frequently to visit Christian and his family, even after Christian's death. Henry was a cabinet maker by trade, and during the long I winters he made such furniture as he could use or sell. He made a very wonderful bureau with secret drawers for keeping his money. Banks were not much used in those days, hiding places for money were always in demand. In some way or other this piece of furniture came into the possession of. Christian's son, Henry. Henry also had a table made by his uncle, Henry. It was a wonderful piece of work, and took the prize at a provincial fair or show.
We know that Christian's brother had a family. There was a boy named Dan who was a very fine penman, which was quite an accomplishment in those days'. There were also several daughters in the family.
Another person important to our family who came to Canada in 1832 was Elizabeth Knoll. Her home, Rolland discovered, was about four houses from the Zimmerman home. Whether the decision to come to Canada was mutual, or whether, as Anna Nelson recalled, their friendship on the long trip was the inspiration for their later marriage, we will never know.
Elizabeth's father had died and left the mother with a family to raise. Elizabeth had the same dream that many early colonists brought
to America ... that this was a land where one could get rich quickly and
then return home and make the lives of their loved ones easier. She
was determined to come to Canada. Her mother was very opposed to this
idea. She feared she would never see her child again. Elizabeth told
her Mother not to feel badly, that she would soon be back with a nice
little fortune to help her fatherless family. But she never went back.
Her
mother and grandmother lived to be very old, both reaching the, ripe old
age of about ninety years.In later years, she often spoke to her children about her brother, Philip,who seemed to have been an exceedingly clever and successful man. Her mother and Grandmother lived to be very old, both reaching the ripe old age of about ninety years.
Elizabeth and Christian complied with the custom of those days which was that a wedding must be announced for three successive Sundays in the church before the young people could be married. They were devoted to each other, and their wedded life was exceedingly happy. Elizabeth was a great help to her husband, not only in making a happy home for him, but also in clearing the timber from the land. She helped him pile and burn brush, and sometimes get the logs off the land. She did whatever else there was to do that a woman could do. She was always well, happy and busy, being of the industrious type of woman. She was of medium size and weight, with slightly rounded shoulders. In her later years, she became decidedly round-shouldered. Her eyes were very dark blue, and her hair a very dark brown, almost black. Her hair never turned gray, even in her last days.
Christian had brown eyes, dark hair, and very pretty rosy cheeks with a nice clear complexion, better than many women have. He was not skinny, but was a slender man of medium height and weight.
They were both devoted Christians, and had a simple, beautiful faith in God, similar to that of other Christian people-of their time. One Sundays during a heavy storm, the wind was beating the rain into the barn where the freshly threshed grain was lying. Elizabeth, after watching the storm for awhile, suggested that they had better go out and try to keep the grain dry, but Christian thought that they ought not to break God's Sabbath by doing manual labor, and suggested that God knew-that they needed the grain, and if He wished them to have it, He would save the crop without their breaking His Holy Sabbath Day. In Germany they were Lutherans, but in Canada they joined the German Evangelical Church, and in this church they trained their children in Christian living and in the doctrines of religion. All their children joined the church and led Christian lives, probably much above average.
Christian was not a very good sportsman, not having had an opportunity for such things in his youth. In Europe, this privilege was reserved for the wealthy landlords. But in Canada there was an abundance of deer for all, and other wild game was very plentiful. He seldom shot anything, even if the deer such such on his garden. One day a big deer came into the yard, and with an old, rusty gun, Christian shot it. But the gun gave him such a kick, and he felt so badly as he saw the beautiful animal lying dead before him, that he never tried shooting again.
Elizabeth and Christian built a log cabin on their place. It had two windows, and on one side an addition which they used for a summer cookhouse. This was their happy home. In the winter they would clear the land of brush and timber, and in the summer they would raise their crops. After the grain was hauled into the barn and threshed, Christian would spend an hour or two daily during the Fall throwing grain to remove the chaff.
Some years later they sold two acres of their farm, one acre for the erection of a blacksmith shop, and the other to build a tailor shop on. Then a school house was built across from the little log house and a short distance down the road. The little village of Sebringsville grew up about a quarter of a mile from the school house.
Elizabeth and Christian had a family of five boys and two girls. Henry, the oldest boy, married Mary Krusp. Adam, the second son, married Eve Hopp, and for his second wife, Elizabeth Britzius. Peter, the third boy, married 'Katherine Rhiel. Christian, the fourth boy, married Louise Nolde. Philip, who was the youngest of the family, married Ernestine Krause. Katherine, the oldest girl, married George Hopp. The younger daughter, Elizabeth (Betsie), married Christ Regal. Adam and Katherine both married into the same Hopp family and had a double wedding at Preston, Minnesota. Betsie died at the birth of her first child, the child dying, also. Philip was the youngest of the family. He was born January 10, 1851. That spring when the plum trees were in bloom, which must have been in May or June, his father died. Christian was only about 48 years old. For almost a week lie had been busy building a dam which had necessitated his standing in cold water and mud most of the time while he was at his work. This brought about his death. He was sick only three or four days. lie was buried in the Sebringsville Cemetery with a wooden tombstone on the grave, but now the exact spot of the grave is not known. Around 1890, the old cemetery, which was back of the Sebringsville church, was moved to higher ground because the graves filled with water. Such graves as had no one interested in them were abandoned. There were no relatives of Christian living there when this was done, so those who might have been interested did not even learn of the change until long after it had been made. So the body was never moved, but lies somewhere in the old cemetery which has been abandoned. Who knows, but it may also be petrified. It is an interesting fact that of the bodies moved, three or four were found to be perfectly petrified, which often happens when bodies are buried in low ground. At the time of Christian's death, the older boys were fourteen and thirteen, and Philip was only five or six months old. Very sad and lonely hours followed 'the break-up of the once so happy home.
The church formed a council of which a man by the name of John Kastner was one of the leaders. The council decided that most of tile property should go to the oldest boy, Henry, which was an English custom, and that the other boys should help Henry until they were sixteen, and go to school six months out of every year. But Henry was too young to understand and manage family affairs properly, and one of the results was that the boys had very little opportunity for education. Philip went to school only about three months out of the year, and after he was thirteen never attended school again. lie was anxious for an education, and seemed to realize its value, but he was too timid to insist that he be given the opportunity.
For more than twenty years, that school was conducted by a Mr. Hamilton. He was a school master of the old type, who did not believe in spoiling the child by sparing the rod. In the home, too, children were punished most severely, sometimes at very slight provocation. Philip has told of how a lamp chimney was broken in some way, and someone thought he could have prevented it if he had been watching the children more carefully, so he had to be whipped. Thirty-nine strokes was the punishment.
An inheritance came for Elizabeth from the old country, but a man by the name of Henry Zimmerman, no relative at all and who had no right to it whatsoever, succeeded in getting it away from her.
For a number of years, until Henry, the oldest boy, was ready to marry, the mother and family carried on the work of the farm together--.She built a large wooden barn, and made a few other improvements. Elizabeth had a little cow, "Daisy", that she kept for twenty-two years. Eventually Henry lost the family farm. In later years, he became successful in the business of selling honey.
Peter Zimmerman and his brother Christ, came to Minnesota after the Civil War ended in 1865. They worked in a shingle mill all summer in Stillwater, Minnesota. Each earned about $14.00 a week, and Peter saved about $1,000. The next spring, they went to Stillwater again, but the river was too high to work at the shingle mill, so the brothers came to Preston and found work there. Because he was afraid he would be robbed, Peter pretended to be poor, and worked his way down the Mississippi on a boat, and left the river at Winona.
Peter was a serious, quiet man with dark hair, a sandy mustache, and intense deep gray eyes. He was very proficient in reading and writing the German language, but sometimes had difficulty with English. He wanted his family to use the German language at home, but Catherine thought that this would be wrong, as they were Americans now.
Christ decided to go west and pan for gold in Montana, where he earned $7.00 or $8.00 a day. Later, during the gold rush, he moved on to Oregon. Finally, he went back to Canada where he married Louise Nolte and settled on a farm. In later years, he operated a prune orchard.
Peter stayed in Minnesota where he bought 160 acres of land in Racine township of Mower County. It was the last section to be cleared, and he paid twice as much for it as others had paid for the land around it. At the same time, he could have bought land where St. Paul now
stands for less than half of what he paid for the land he chose. He
built a three-room house with a kitchen, bedroom and a pantry. Later,
when he was courting Catherine Rhiel, he walked twenty-five miles to
Preston to see her. Another time he borrowed a buggy from old man
Felch to make the trip. Catherine had come from Canada when she was.
twenty-one, and stayed with her half-sister, Mary Long.
Peter and Catherine were married January 14, 1868, and lived in the frame house near Racine. The first winter, Catherine was so homesick that she rode to Preston in a bobsled, sitting on a box. She stayed a week and then was ready to come home.
They had six children, all born at Racine. Anna married Sam Anstett, divorced, and moved to North Dakota. George died when he was eleven. Margaret Lydia married Julius Krause, and they went to California. John William married Zora Haas, and they remained on the farm at Racine. Matilda married William Hunnerkoch of Red Wood Falls, Minnesota, and they moved to Montana. Ida (Katie) married Roy Drummond, and they lived in Austin, Minnesota.
In Canada, after Henry was married, he built a brick house for himself, but his mother continued to live in the old house. Some time later Henry sold the place to a Mr. Strasser, and then Elizabeth came to Minnesota to live with others of her children. She always grieved because 11 Henry did not succeed as well on the old place as she thought lie should have. Whatever property she may have had was lost in some way through Henry's mismanagement.
When Philip was fourteen years old, Henry, being in need of money, advised Philip to work for someone who would pay him a salary. So it came about that he was employed by an old Scotchman for six months for ten dollars a month and board and room. When the six months were up, the Scotchman paid him the salary in silver dollars. Philip carried those sixty silver dollars home six miles to Henry, who gave him seventyfive cents out of it for spending money. This was the first spending money Philip had ever had, and the first thing he bought was a comb for himself, thinking how fine it would be to have one all his very own. Then, as most boys would have done, he bought a jack-knife, and with the money he had left, lie bought a candy treat for his brothers. He was badly in need of a suit of clothes at this time, so that he could go to church and Sunday School, but that seems to have been out of the question. Adam, who was next younger than Henry, and who was now living in theUnited States at Preston, Minnesota, made a visit to Canada about this time. When he returned to the states, he brought Philip with him.
Elizabeth lived with her children in Minnesota until her death, October 18, 1888, at the Adam Zimmerman home three or four miles north of Preston. She was ill only a very short time. Early in the evening of October 18, when asked how she felt and whether she would have any supper, she replied that she did not need any supper, and that by ten o'clock she would be gone to her home in Heaven. Adam's family thought she was delirious, but really not seriously ill. Just before ten o'clock that evening, she passed quietly and peacefully away. No one realized she was going until she was gone. Then they remembered that she had said she would be gone by ten o'clock. She was 78 years and 9 months old. She is buried in the Preston cemetery, with services being held at the German Evangelical Church.
Elizabeth had a certain strain of severity in her nature which, occasionally when conditions were right, showed itself. She was a fine disciplinarian and seemed to understand human nature better than most people. She was very tidy about her person, and her room, and was quite saving. She was always fair in her dealings with her fellow-man, but she also expected them to be fair with her. She disliked pictures and statuary very. much, and used to say, "ach solcha gotza" (Oh, such idols!) To her, they suggested images, and made her think of idolatry, which was considered a sin. This probably is the reason that we have only one photograph of her, and none of her husband. She was always glad to help along any good cause, but always had so little money to spend. Something always happened to her property because of Henry's mismanagement. She said she did not care much for money for her own use, but that she would
like to have had money so that she might give to the church, and help the poor, and give wherever there was a need. She loved to go to church, but it hurt her not to have more to give.
Hers was a beautiful life of hardship, sorrow and trials, culminating in a great and glorious victory, and how can we know but that the discipline of this lower life perfected her, and made her ready for that higher service above.
"A home in Heaven; what a joyful thought
As the poor man toils in his weary lot,
His heart oppressed, and with anguish drives
From his home below to his home in Heaven."
When Rolland was in Germany in 1983, he found the church records which gave accurate facts of the early history, and these have been used.".

Stevens. excerpts copied with permission. "Adam Zimmerman, my father's second brother, lived near Preston, Minnesota on a farm until most
of his children were grown. Then he followed them into the West to the state of Oregon, and bought a
home for himself in that state at Canby. At one time he had been thrown from a horse and injured,
causing hernia, so that for many years he was compelled to wear a truss. Shortly before he started for
Oregon he came in touch with the Zionist movement in Chicago. They had a program of divine healing
and told him to throw away his truss; that God was able to take care of him. He finally did throw it away
and his old trouble, hernia, soon killed him. He died very suddenly in Canby, Oregon, at the age of about
67 years. He was a very robust, healthy man, and if he had continued to wear his truss, or if he had had an
operation, he probably could have lived many years longer. He left a widow and eight children to mourn
his loss.
His oldest daughter, Lizzie, married Mr. Krack, a farmer who lived near Cavalier, North Dakota.
The second child was a boy whom they called Willie, who died of pneumonia contracted while he was
drilling a well. He was about thirty years of age when he died, and had never been married. When he
was a small child he lost an eye by getting lye into it while his mother was making soap. The third child,
Mary, was never married. When she was eighteen she had a stroke of paralysis from which she never
entirely recovered. After doctoring for a number of years and receiving very little help she came out to
Portland with a half-sister, and went into business for herself. She always was successful and spent a very
profitable life. Her half-sister Emma after a few years married Charlie Druschel, and still lives in
Portland, Oregon. Aron, the oldest boy with the second wife has a family and lives in or near Chicago,
Illinois. George, who is Aron's younger brother, married a woman eight years older, and lives in
Washington State somewhere. Sarah, the next to the youngest in the family, married a Mr. Gunter and
also lives in Portland. Margaret works in an undertaking establishment and was never married; and Della
lives with her at least part of the time. She is not married [and both live in Seattle, 1952]."
