    John Zinnecker received a telegram this week from his grandson, Leonard Zinnecker, whose home is in Montana, that he arrived safely from overseas in New York on June 21. Mr. Zinnecker has been in France in Base Hospital.

    Art Peck writes that in 1918, Leonard moved in Ingoma, Montana. He entered into the US Army at Camp Lewis on 20 Sept 1918, and served in France during World War I. After the war, he farmed at the head of Dry Creek 35 miles southwest of Jordan, Montana. He operated the Montana elevator in Moore for 18 years. He was adjuctant of the American Legion Post for 18 years, being a lifetime member.

    According the the 1941 issue of the Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast (Vol. 5, September 1, 1941), Leonard Zinnecker, manager of the elevator at Moore, Montana, reported abundant crops in his community...the largest number of loads during the year brought in in one day was 128.

    The Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast, Volume 11, published September 6, 1948, reported that he had left the Montana Elevator company in Moore after 22 years and was working for an insurance company.

    Volume 19 of the same periodical, September 3, 1956, reported that Mark Leonard, a son, was born to Mr. and Mrs. L.F. Zinnecker of Billings, Montana. This may be incorrect as Velma Leonard was 50 years old at the time. Additionally, no son by that name is included in Art Peck's list of children of Leonard and Velma.

    Volume 23 of the Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast, dated September 7, 1963, noted that Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Zinnecker spent 4 months traveling and visiting relatives in Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Arizona and California. They traveled 11,000 miles.

    Volume 28 of the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, dated September 2, 1968, reported that they had sold their home in Moore, Montana and retired to Mesa, Arizona.

    Leonard married Velma Naomi Norbury on 16 May 1925 in Jordan, Garfield County, Montana. Velma was born on 24 Sep 1906 in Hume, Bates County, Montana; died on 8 Jun 1978 in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

  1. 2.  Junior Francis "Zip" Zinnecker Descendancy chart to this point (1.Leonard1) was born on 4 Jan 1926 in Melstone, Musselshell County, Montana; died on 5 May 1988 in Montana.

    Notes:

    In the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, Volume 9, September 2, 1946, in a column titled "Still in the Service of the U.S.A.", it was noted that Junior Zinnecker of Moore, Montana was stationed in Guam.

    The Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast, Volume 10, dated September 1, 1947, reported that he was employed in the Billings Hudson Motor plant as parts man.

    Art Peck wrote that Zip's ashes were scattered over Dead Man's Basin, a favorite spot. Art showed that he died in Salt Lake City, but as he is listed on the Montana State Death Index, it is being assumed he actually died somewhere in Montana.
