Looking for info on Adeline"Blanche"Pifer married Henry Gardner Zimmerman, they were socialites in Des Moines, Ia I have several articles on the marraige of her daughter Melba Louise Zimmerman to Robert J Peterson. Blanche and Henry belonged to the country club and all that was cool in the "social" scenes. Henry was a travelling salesman and made good money still don't know what he sold I suspect insurance. They owned a house on Country club Blvd? Covered in Ivy (have pix) I know nothing about Blanche other than she was a work of social ettiquette. And she was Catholic have her prayer book. Does she sound familiar to anyone?

My wife's grandmother was Blanche's sister Majorie (also socially oriented). They were children of Edward H Pifer and Catherine McTaggert Pifer. Edward was born in 1858 in Woodford County Il and died in 1954. My wife remembers attending Henry Zimmerman's funeral in Des Moines as a small child.. She thought it funny that he was in some type of lodge and had attained the "blue goose" level.
