"The
earliest marked grave in the Zimmerman Cemetery, that of Georchim Wedig, is dated
1852. In 1863, Wedig's daugther Katherine married John Gonzales (1835-1918),
who had come to Indianola in 1858 with Joseph Mendez (d. 1904) as a caretaker
for a shipload of camels imported by the U.S. Army as part of an experiment
in frontier transportation."
