Here's a link to the 1884 Business Directory for Eau Claire, WI. The Yellow Pages of the times. There is also a short biography of John Zimmerman from the same site:
John Zimmerman was born in 1854, in Germany; came to Eau Claire in 1883 and followed his trade of a harnessmaker. Since 1884 he has owned his own shop and met with best success. He married in 1887, Miss Annie Ackerman, also of German descent. Mr. Zimmerman is a member of the Catholic Knights.
