"Born in the small town of Burnet, June could walk the five blocks to the downtown square to visit her father's business, stopping at the baker shop on the way to pick up some goodies. Those were happy days and once she even found a nickel which she massaged for some time before spending. Sometimes she would visit her Grandmother Corker just across the creek, spending a day or a week, playing on the sandbar of the creek with some friends. When June was about 14, the family and kin from San Antonio and Austin would make camp on the Colorado River about 14 miles from town, spending a week fishing and "cooking out". The men would drive back to town to work and the women would remain to guard the camp from the wild hogs about. Those were carefree days with friends Laverne Johnson and Dick Wimpy, playing with dolls, swimming and fishing in the creek. Horse and buggy was primary transportation before the family purchased the Model T Ford.
June went to school in Burnet, Texas graduating there in 1933 and attending one year at Mary Hardin Baylor College, Belton, Texas.
About 1935 June met her "Cowboy", Henry Zimmerman . . . as a blind date, later married him and had 2 children: (1) Mary . . . (2) Henry "Hap".
Spouse Henry really was a cowboy and later a rancher and housing contractor, while June was mostly a homemaker and later a jewelry engraver.
Petite (5'2") June is extroverted and friendly with good health except for failing eyesight. She believes in being kind, understanding and supportive. She has been active as a member and officer of the Burnet County, TX Historical Commission, the Heritage Society and involved with the restoration of Fort Croghan and Museum and Burnet County History Books and Cemetery Records.
Some of Junes favorite memories are of Baptist Camp Meetings, Family reunions, and Rodeos with her husband.
After graduation from Burnet High School, June attended Mary Hardin Baylor then returned to Burnet. She worked for her parents who owned a mercantile store. After she married and her children were older, she worked in a jewelry store for 20 years. As a young man, Henry was a real cowboy who worked on a large ranch in Burnet County. The life of a cowboy was one he truly enjoyed. After their marriage, they lived on a ranch and raised cattle. Later, he branched out into contracting work.
