In Re the Estate of Zimmerli

Fred Zimmerli, born in Switzerland in 1856, came to the United States as a youth. He married in Illinois and engaged in business as a tailor. One daughter was born to him and his wife. Later, he removed to St. Louis with his family where he followed his trade. When the daughter was about ten years of age Mrs. Zimmerli obtained a divorce and was awarded the custody of the daughter. Within two years after the divorce, both of the parties again married. The daughter continued to live with her own mother, but visited frequently with her father and step-mother while they lived in St. Louis.
