High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Frederick Hinde Zimmerman (October 17, 1864 – September 21, 1924) was an American banker, farmer, real estate entrepreneur, businessman, and hotel owner. Due to his large land holdings and expertise in farming Zimmerman became a notable farmer, breeder and real estate entrepreneur during his life. Zimmerman`s farm included the Grand Rapids Dam, Hanging Rock, and Buttercrust. His first experience running a business was in 1883 when he ran a grocery store in Fort Smith, Arkansas with his cousin Harry Hinde. Many of Zimmerman`s businesses centered around his family farm, but in later years Zimmerman achieved success through his ownership and investment in mines, banks, and real estate. His grandfather Thomas S. Hinde purchased the farm from the federal government in 1815. He also owned or invested in the Hanging Rock and Grand Rapids Dam Farm Company, the Grand Rapids Hotel Park Company, and the Wabash Bull-Frog Mines Company.
