Family of Forest Adolph ZIMMERMAN and Gladys WILLIAMSON (nee Furman)

Forest Adolph ZIMMERMAN b. 1894~⁵⁶⁵³ at Wells, MN⁴⁶³³.
Gladys WILLIAMSON (nee Furman) b. 1893 Dec¹¹²⁶ at Cameron, NY¹⁷²⁸.

Married²³⁵⁰ 1914 Apr 8²³⁵⁰ at Wells, Faribault, MN²³⁵⁰.

The death certificate⁴⁶³³ for son Melvin, lists the birthplace of Melvin's father.

Gladys was born the daughter of (William) Dallas Furman and Ada Williamson. Ada and Dallas were (apparently) divorced, perhaps shortly after Gladys' birth, as Gladys "Williamson" appears in the 1900 census¹¹²⁶ as the adopted daughter (relationship to head of household: "ad. daughter") of Ada's brother Linn Williamson and Linn's wife Mary. In that census, Mary Williamson is listed as the mother of "0," corroborating the assumption. Further corroboration of Gladys' birth parents is indicated by the social security application³³⁴⁶ for Gladys Williamson Provancha, which lists her parents as William D Furman and Ada A Williamson.

In 1910, Gladys resided¹¹³² with her adoptive parents, Linn and Mary Williamson. Later that year, Gladys married¹⁷²⁸ Howard F Sherman, the son of John H Sherman and Augusta Townsend. The marriage license application for that marriage lists Gladys' parents as Ira L Williamson and Mary Bennett. Though that does not indicate that she was adopted, Gladys' social security applcation (mentioned above) is preferred.

Child 1. Melvin

Melvin died⁴⁶³³ at the age of 13y 1m 3d, as a result of respiratory failure, due to a fractured skull incured when he was struck by an automobile.
