"Zimri Atkinson (deceased) was born in Greene County, Ohio, December 21, 1837, and was one of the twelve children born to Thomas and Frances (Head) Atkinson, both natives of Ohio, and of German and Irish descent. When a lad, Zimri Atkinson moved with his parents to Benton County, Indiana, where he received an academic education, and was employed in farming at home until he was twenty-one years of age.

August 30, 1857, he was married to Mary J. Buckley, of Benton County, Indiana, born November 17, 1839, daughter of Stephen and Sarah E. (Wakeman) Buckley, both early settlers of said county. Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson had six children, four of whom are living.

After marriage, Mr. Atkinson moved to Warren Township and purchased land, on which he lived ten years; this he sold, and purchased 420 acres in this township (Adams), which was his home until death, February 26, 1882.

Mr. Atkinson had been County Commissioner for eleven years, and had amassed a handsome property; he was a Freemason, a Knight of Honor, and in politics a Republican; he was also a lamented citizen. Mrs. Atkinson is living on the home farm." - History of Warren, Benton, Jasper and Newton Counties, Indiana, 1883, page 196
