locating at Sandusky, Ohio, and in 1853 came to Terre Haute, where the father engaged in the grocery business, and added meats to the store. John G. Ziegler, who is the second in a family of three children (Elizabeth, John G. and Emma), received his educa- tion in the graded schools of the city, and, being the only son, early in life assisted his father and learned the business. In 1873 he became salesman for Mr. Fred Koch, and was with him until 1877, when he took the meat market of Koch and carried same on until 1882, when he established where he now is, at No. 731 Lafayette Ave. Mr. Ziegler was married August 16, 1883, in Clark county, Ill., to Emma, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Wilcer) Lutz, natives of Baden, Germany. Mrs. Ziegler was born in Clark county, Ill., October 29, 1861, and is the fourth in a family of eight children. In politics Mr. Ziegler is in sympathy with the Republicans. He is an energetic and successful business man. The family have many friends in Terre Haute.
JACOB ZIGLER, millwright, Terre Haute, was born in Cum- berland county, Penn., December 10, 1825, and is the son of John and Ann (Wise) Zigler, natives of Pennsylvania, and of German descent. Our subject is their only child. The family removed to Ohio, when he was about seven years old, where his father died. He then lived on a farm with his grandfather, near Dayton, until he grew to manhood, when he went to work at the cabinet-maker's trade, which he followed about eighteen months; then worked at the carpenter's trade four years, and two years at the millwrights'
trade. In May, 1852, he came to Terre Haute, and remained here about a year, when he revisited Ohio, where he stayed nearly two years, and then returned to Terre Haute. He has been millwright for the Hudnut Milling Company nineteen years. Mr. Zigler was married in Terre Haute January 23, 1853, to Olive, daughter of John and Laura (Pierce) Swap, former a native of Pennsylvania, of German descent, latter of Vermont, of English. Mrs. Zigler is seventh in a family of ten children, and was born in Erie county, Penn., April 13, 1830.

same county, where he is now a farmer. Of a family of four chil- dren George S. is the second in the order of birth. He was edu- cated in Germany, and at the age of sixteen came to the United States, settling at Terre Haute, where he learned the tinner's trade, at which he worked until 1878, when he organized his present business. His store-room is 140x20 feet, and is well filled with first-class goods. This is now a leading house in the city, and its success is the result of his energy and well-known probity of character. Mr. Zimmerman was united in marriage in 1876 with Salome Nagel, who was born in Germany, of German descent. Her parents came to Clay county, Ind., in 1853. Her mother was Barbara Layher, also of German origin; her father, Ludwig Nagel, operated an oil-mill in the old country ; he died in Clay county, Ind., in 1866. Mr. and Mrs. Zim- merman are members of the German Lutheran Church, of which he is now trustee, and has served as elder.
REINDER ZIMMERMAN, farmer and stock-grower, Honey Creek township, P. O. Terre Haute, was born in Hanover, Ger- many, January 27, 1822, and is the son of O. and Mary (Hida) Zimmerman, also natives of Germany, the father having been a sea- faring man. The family consisted of nine children, all of whom grew to their majority. Reinder, who is the eighth child and the fifth son, was reared in his native place, where he received a col- legiate education at Salair College. He went to sea as a sailor early in life, and in 1850 he immigrated to the New World, landing at New Orleans, and same year came to Vigo county, where he com- menced work for that great and good man, Chauncey Rose, as his gardener, also doing all kinds of work at his residence, and subse- quently helped to keep his books. He worked for him twenty- seven years. Mr. Zimmerman has been twice married, the first time, in 1848, to Miss H. Devries, and by her had four children: Mary, now wife of Henry O. Schmidt; Dina, wife of H. Lucken; John W. (deceased), and Elisabeth, wife of John Aeekhoff. Mrs. Zimmerman died in 1881, and 'Mr. Zimmerman then married, in 1883, Frederika Weidman, who is of German origin. Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman are members of the Lutheran Church, of which he is ex-trustee. In politics he is a Democrat.
.WILLIAM ZOBEL, professor of music, Terre Haute, is a son of John A. and Barbara (Rohé) Zobel, natives of Germany, who came to New York when quite young. William is the second in a family of three children, and was born in New York City, where he received the early part of his education in public and private schools. While studying music in New York, he acquired the art of tuning and regulating pianos, having learned that part of it at a factory. He studied at St. Benedict's College, then at

Terre Haute, and returned to New York to enhance his musical education. He again came to Terre Haute, and taught music some time. In 1875 he went to Leipsig, Germany, and attended the Conservatory of Music, at the same time studied with E. F. Richter, Dr. Oscar Paul and Karl Stiller (organist at St. Peter's Church) ; after finishing his studies in Leipsig, he went to Vienna, Florence, Rome, Naples and Paris, studying Italian and French schools of music. He then returned to Terre Haute, and has been engaged in teaching music since. His specialties are piano, organ, and musical science. Prof. Zobel was united in marriage, in Terre Haute, November 10, 1887, with Miss Clara Reiman, daughter of Albin Reiman, a retired merchant of Terre Haute. She is the eldest in a family of four children that grew to maturity. Prof. Zobel was organist for a number of years at St. Stephen's Episco- pal Church, and is now organist at St. Benedict's. Mr. and Mrs. Zobel are members of the Catholic Church.
