A Johannas Britzius was the father of 6 children, one being Johannes Mathias. His birthdate matched the date on Mathias's death record.

In Loving Memory
Celia Ruth Zimmerman Dromgoole
1915-2006
Celia Ruth Zimmerman Dromgoole died at her home in Rose Villa, Milwaukie OR on May 17, 2006. Daughter of George and Oka Zimmerman of Yamhill, Mrs. Dromgoolewas born September 1915 in Yamhill, Oregon. She attended Yamhill schools and Linfield College (1934-1935) graduating from the University of Washington with degrees in Sociology and Business Administration.
Mrs. Dromgoole worked as an employment counselor at the Mullins Agency in Seattle during her college and post college years. She and Emmett Dromgoole were married in 1943 moving to the Yamhill family farm in 1948. She was the bookkeeper for Zimmerman Grain Co., of Yamhill for a number of years.
In 1967 Celia and Emmett relocated to McMinnville. In 1975 they retired and moved to Lincoln City. They enjoyed living at the beach for several years before moving to Rose Villa in Milwaukie in 1990.
Even though Mrs. Dromgoole had a lifetime physical handicap she was a high-energy lady who was very involved in her community. She and Emmett were members of First Baptist Church, McMinnville while living in Yamhill and McMinnville. They were members of Lincoln City Baptist in their retirement years at the coast. Mrs. Dromgoole was one of the first members of the Yamhill County Mental Health Committee and was interested in helping adults and children with mental and physical disabilities.
Celia loved to travel and was always on the go. Her keen interests in her family's history lead her to involvement in the Yamhill and Oregon State Historical Societies. The material she collected on family and local history was very useful to her brother, Gordon Zimmerman when writing his book "The Song of Yamhill".
She was preceded in death by her husband, Emmett Dromgoole and her sister, Nona Zimmerman. Her brother Gordon Zimmerman of San Francisco, 2 sons Gordon of Yamhill and Paul of Seattle, 2 grandsons, Kevin of McMinnville and Darren of Lake Oswego and one great grandson survive her.
