  [S927] Obituary. "Ethel Zimmerly Former Teacher by Bess Watson Devotion to her family was first to Ethel Spillman Zimmerly, 74, 5737 Smock Rd. Until her health became impaired, she and members of her family attended symphony or other concerts, for they all loved music. For the last six years, Mrs. Zimmerly had been a total invalid. She died yesterday in a nursing home. Mrs. Zimmerly's husband, J. Earl Zimmerly, died in May. They had observed their golden anniversary. Born at Greenwood, Mrs. Zimmerly lived most of her life in the Indianapolis area. Her family was among the first settlers at Greenwood. She was a graduate of Manual High School and attended Mme. Blaker's School. For about 10 years before her marriage, Mrs. Zimmerly taught school here. After her children entered school themselves, she returned to teaching from 1920 to 1928 at South Bend. A firm believer in higher education, Mrs. Zimmerly saw to it that her own children had such opportunities. It was her pleasure to see them achieve success professionally. One daughter, Mary F. Zenor, is a teacher of music at Harry Wood School; another, Elizabeth White, Santa Monica, Cal., formerly taught art at Anderson, and a third, Catherine I. Zimmerly, teaches at School 35. Her son Richard K. Zimmerly, is an Indianapolis architect. Mrs. Zimmerly was an active member of the Southport Presbyterian Church. She helped to organize the Remnant Club, an organization of older women members of the church, and for many years taught Sunday school classes. In her younger years she played the church organ. She saw to it that her children heard the best in music and started them out on a musical career by teaching them herself. Services will be held a 3 p.m. tomorrow in the G. H. Herrmann Funeral Home, with burial at Greenwood. Besides the three children, two brothers, Roy Spillman, Indianapolis, and Ray Spillman, Waco , Tex., and seven grandchildren survive her."
