Biography

Francis was born in 1851. She was the daughter of William F. Zimmerman and Elizabeth Smith. She passed away in 1925.

Fanny & Henesley had no children. It was family knowledge that Fanny gave Jim Hines the farm on Bradshaw Creek Road in Frankewing, where Jim & Tennie lived and had all their children. It was assumed this was in her will. However, she died in 1925 and all Jim's children were born well before that time. It is possible they lived there before she willed it or that she gave them the farm prior to her death.
