General Notes: Wife - Zelda Christina Ziegler

---

She was an accredited Bible teacher for a number of years. She also published several volumes of delightful poems. In one volume, "Above the Clouds," she wrote: "We must live below the clouds, but we may think above them." The following verse is typical of the character of her poems.
"Take time to think of your blessings;
Count them o'er and o'er;
Think of the good that is promised you
From God's exhaustless store.
Let His sunshine come in and flood your life
Until grateful tears shall start,
And if there is no song on your lips,
There will surely be one in your heart."
