In 1864 He was said to have moved to Huntington, IN., remaining there for 9 years before returning to Perry County, Ohio where he died on his birthday on April 2, 1874.





    Somerset Press

    Friday, April 10, 1874 Page 3

    DIED, after a lingering illness, on Thursday morning, at half past 8 o'clock, at the residence of Mr. George Green, near St. Joseph's Perry Co., Ohio. Mr. Nicholas Zahm, aged 87 years.

    The subject of this notice was born at Olsburg, in Wolminster County, Germany, on the 2nd day of April, 1787, and moved to this country at the age of 42 years. After landing at New York City, he purchased a horse and wagon and in his humble way, he moved his little family across the mountains to Wayne County, Ohio, where he resided till the year 1838, when he moved to Perry County, Ohio, where he purchased a small farm near St. Joseph's, on which he lived for many years. Becoming old and feeble, he sold his farm to his daughter, Mrs. Beber, and chose his home with his son-in-law Mr. George Green, where he died, as will be seen, on the morning of his 87th birthday. Mr. Zahm was a quiet, inoffensive man; honest and industrious; a strict member of the Catholic church; without an enemy on earth, he has left an example worthy of imitation. He left four sons and four daughters together with one hundred grand and great grand children to mourn his loss.
