1880 Census - "Cris" is head logger at a logging camp on Whidby & Camain Islands, Washington. His nephew, John Hopp is in his unit.
Christian Zimmerman Family Sheet #1 says Christian has resided at Yamhill, Oregon from 1883 until death. His church affiliation is Wesleyan Methodist.
The following story was written by Christian's son George:
Biography of Christian Zimmerman, brother of Peter Zimmerman
by George S. Zimmerman written at age 90, 1974, 1975
This story begins in spring of 1868, when father was 20 years old. He had been
working in Minneapolis, Minnesota in flour mill and woolen mill during winter
1867-1868. He wanted to go west so traveled down Mississippi River to mouth of
Missouri River. Voyage was by boat . As money was scarce with him, he took job
on river boat going up Missouri River to Fort Benton Montana. One of his jobs
was to load wood into boats boilers.
As they neared Fort Benton at a wood loading dock, he saw where a white man
delivering wood on steamboat dock, was murdered and scalped. His clothes were
stolen from his body and he was left laying by the wood dock.
At Fort Benton he took a job driving a team of mules hauling freight to
Helena, Montana. This was the winter of 1868-69. This was a bitter cold job and
he suffered greatly.
In the spring of 1869 or 1870 he quit the teamster job at Helena. He met a
man by the nane of Thomas Cruse. They took up a mining claim together and
started working it at Nelson Creek.
This was a very lawless country. Father never carried a gun in his entire life.
They worked this claim together. At night thieves would come and rob sluice
boxes. There was lots of gun play around. Father was used to this rough life.
But one morning he had had enough. He rolled up his blankets and started West.
He left everything to his partner, Thomas Cruse. He never went back or
remained in contact with Mr. Cruse.
After six months or a year, he learned that Thomas Cruse had struck it rich.
He had quit the country for good and never regretted it. Lawlessness was
everywhere. Would he be the next one to be scalped, or murdered by white men if
he tried to protect his property at night. Before he left, he never signed any
release papers with Thomas Cruse for his half of original claim.
He traveled westward, working his way an opportunity afforded. He landed in
Palouse country of South East Washington at harvest time. After Harvest, he
worked his way down the Columbia River basin to Portland, Oregon. Just how long
it took him, we have no record. How long he stayed in Portland and later the
Mt. St. Helens area, we have no record.
It was a rainy, cold winter and he took down with chills and fever. In Portland
he met a man who advised him to go to Puget Sound country around Tacoma or
Seattle. The chills and fever left him in this salt water country.
The first winter he and his partner fished for salmon and packed them in salt
for boats that came into Seattle Harbor. How long he worked at this, I do not
know.
The next record we have, he and another partner went up into Canada's Peace
River Country and took up a mining claim. Just how well he fared there is not
known.
When I (George Zimmerman) was quite a small boy, I remember we had a
teacup 1/3 full of gold nuggets from this undertaking.
He then returned to Puget Sound and secured work in a logging camp on Whidby
Island getting out logs for California bound log rafts. The company for
which he was working went bankrupt and for his accumulated wages he took
title to 40 acres of timber believed to have been on Vashon Island. He
worked long enough in the timber industry to learn business. Logging was
done by ox team. He went out and purchased 3 or 4 yoke of oxen and was
in the logging business.
We have his old time book which indicates he began logging June 12th
1877. We also have his old legal records that show he purchased a lot at
Third and Bell Streets in Seattle and kept it until he had moved to
Yamhill, Oregon during 1887. This land is now part of the Seattle Center
Worlds Fair Complex.
The 1880 U.S. Census show Zimmerman Logging Company with 12 people
working. It shows fathers age as 31. The census also shows a Chinese Cook
and Oilers.
He left to go up Missouri River in 1868 and logging in 1877. These 9
years are very sketchy, and few positive dates can be set.
In 1910 he sold the family farm 2 miles North of Yamhill Oregon to me. He
then built a new house on a hill just to the North of this farm, that he
had purchased in 1887 from the John J. Burton Estate, the original
homesteading family of this land.
In 1929 a man stopped at Zimmerman Bros. Elevator on Railroad East of
Yamhill where my brother, Edward Zimmerman was working. He said his name
was William A. Jackson and be had lived in Helena, Montana. He wanted to
know if the Zimmermans here had been in Helena, Montana in the very early
days. He said in 1914 there was a suit to clear title of land held by Thomas
Cruse in Partnership with Christian Zimmerman who could. not be located,
and was presumed dead.
My brother Ed took the man home and fed him, for Mr. Jackson was down on
his luck. Ed then asked his father if he had ever been in Partnership
with Thomas Cruse in Helena, Montana. Yes he had been a partner and the
strike that made Thomas Cruse a Multi-Millionare was made after Father
had left.
Christian Zimmerman had never told his four sons of his life in Montana
until this time in 1929. He had never contacted Thomas Cruse. He never
realized that for years he still owned a share in a very large mining
operation near Helena, Montana.
My Father, Christian Zimmerman died August, 1934 at Yamhill Oregon.
