April 2,1891 Era newspaper article:
William Zimpleman was 30 years, 18 days old.
He was born March 10,1861 at Amana Colony, Iowa Co., Iowa and was therefore aged at his death 30 years, 18 days. His boyhood up to age 13 was spent at the Colony at which time he assumed to do for himself and since then he has alone and without human aid made himself what we all know him to be, and honest, upright, noble man, an ornament to any society. He came to Ida Grove eight years ago and since has lived his life among a large circle of friends and he gained the respect of all who knew him.
He leaves a wife and an aged and helpless father, the care of whom in Amana, prevented the aged and sorrowing mother from attending the last rites to the dead. Besides father and mother, two brothers and one sister survive.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. F.E. Day officiated.
