Bell's History of Northumberland County Pennsylvania CHAPTER XLV Part II Pages 1039 - 1067. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES MT. CARMEL CLARK B. ZIMMERMAN, yard foreman for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was born in Shamokin township, Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, March 15, 1841, son of Ephraim and Priscilla (Campbell) Zimmerman. His paternal grandfather, Michael Zimmerman, was a native of Pennsylvania, of German parentage; he removed to this county, where he engaged in farming, and died in Shamokin township. His maternal grand- father, William Campbell, was a native of Scotland, a wheelwright by trade, and quite an early settler of this county. The father of our subject was a farmer, and resided in this county up to his death at Shamokin in 1854. Two children, Clark B. and Diadem C., wife of K. T. John, are the fruits of this union. Our subject was reared in Shamokin township, was educated in the common schools and at Williamsport Academy, and commenced teaching at the age of seventeen, following that occupation eight years. At the breaking out of the Rebellion in April, 1861, he enlisted in Company A, Tenth Pennsylvania Reserve, and served three months, when he was discharged from the service and returned to Shamokin. He re-enlisted in the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers, in which he served two years and eight months, and was again discharged. He then enlisted as a veteran in Deckerd, Tennessee, and served until August, 1865, when he was mustered out of the service, and the same year located in Mt. Carmel. He clerked in the store of S. A. Bergstresser a short time, and then engaged in mining. In 1883 he was appointed assistant inside foreman at Mt. Carmel colliery, which position he held one year. In May, 1884, he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as car inspector, and was appointed to his present position in October, 1888. Mr. Zimmerman was married, January 21, 1866, to Sally A., daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (Keiser) Hoover, of this county. Two children have been born to them: Lorenzo B. and William H. In politics he is a Republican, has served as chief burgess of Mt. Carmel one term, and filled the unexpired term of J. B. Reed as justice of the peace. He is a member of the F. & A.M.. G.A.R., K. of M., and P.O.S. of A. |
