Hon. John [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] dies Monday night, one of [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] honored citizens.  It took little investigation to ascertain the report was true.  Mr. [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] has suffered from heart trouble for some time.  On Monday evening, he was coming with his friend Hon. EB [[Eshelman (surname) | Eshelman]].  He left the store for home a little before 9pm.  Mr. [[Eshelman (surname) | Eshelman]] said he appeared to be in unusual good spirits as they passed the [[Archer]] house.  He said it was too cold for him to take the long walk up to the house.  [[Eshelman ]] said the  walk would do him good and continued on with him.  When they reached  Leonard [[Saal (surname) | Saal]] meat market, they went inside.  Mr. [[Saal (surname) | Saal]] was busy waiting a short time.  They came out and walked east on Liberty Street.  After going a block and one half, they turned back and reached the market store.  Mr. [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] complained feeling unwell.  He was given a chair and he appeared  to experience some difficulty breathing.  He asked Mr. [[Eshelman (surname) | Eshelman]] to go to  inform Robert to tell him to go get a hack to get him home. Mr. [[Eshelman (surname) | Eshelman]], before starting asked if he should send for a doctor.  He said he did not need a physician.  Some minutes after Mr. [[Eshelman (surname) | Eshelman]] departed, James [[Mullins (surname) | Mullins]] esquire, came in and came by in his buggy and invited Mr. [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] to go in with him.  He got up from his chair and walked out to the buggy and with Leonard [[Saal (surname) | Saal]] assistance, got into the buggy.  George [[Blandford (surname) | Blandford]] Jr. came by at that time and noticing Mr. [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]’s head was thrown back, took his pulse  and placed the other had on back of his head.  He told Mr. [[Mullins (surname) | Mullins]] that he believed [[Zimmerman]] was dying.  Mr. [[Mullins (surname) | Mullins]] got out of the buggy to go get a physician and before he had barely got out, Mr. [[Blandford (surname) | Blandford]] said that Mr. [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] gave a gasp and ceased breathing.  He was driven to his residence and the body taken in.  John [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] was born in Richen Grand Duchy of [[Baden, Prussia | Baden]] on April 11, 1829 and came to America in 1845 going to the home of his brother then residing near [[Canal Dover, Ohio | Canal Dover]].  He learned the drug business in  [[Canton, Ohio | Canton]],  clerked in [[Massillon, Ohio | Massillon]] and afterwards returned to [[Canton, Ohio | Canton]].  In 1852 he and Dr. [[McCall (surname) | McCall]] of [[Canton, Ohio | Canton]] opened a drugstore in old Exchange block in the city and  continued until 1855 when Mr. [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] became sole owner.  Contemplating on continuing in the trade for three years, he rented the room now occupied by [[Roller and Wilson]] and located there for ten years.  In 1867, he purchased the land on which the old Exchange block was located and erected a commendable structure known as the Exchange block.  In the spring of 1868, he took possession  taking into partnership LP [[Higher (surname) | Ohligher]] and later his son, John R [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]].  By careful attention to business  and shrewd commercial sagacity, he amassed a large fortune and was elected treasure of [[Wayne County]] in 1853 and reelected in 1859 and served as township trustee in 1862 and 1863.  He was elected to city council in 1874 and served eight years as member of board of education.  Governor [[Hoadly (surname) | Hoadly]] appointed him a trustee of the [[Cleveland Hospital]] for insane in 1885.  His term expired 1889.  In the fall of 1889, he was elected to the general assembly as a state senator from the 28th district which district he still represented at the time of his death.  In 1850 he married Miss Barbara [[Holt (surname) | Holt]] of [[Massillon, Ohio | Massillon]].  They had five children: Mrs. Louise [[Buckwalter (surname) | Buckwalter]] of [[Cincinnati, Ohio | Cincinnati]], JR Fran, Charles, and Fred [[Zimmerman (surname) | Zimmerman]] all of [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]].
