He has been a resident of Snohomish for over twenty years, having come to this country over thirty years ago from Austria. Twenty years ago he was the proprietor and owner of a brewery in this city. The building was constructed on the banks of the Pilchuck and Mr. Ziefhofel placed some of the best beer on the market that could be found in the state. People knew of his beer as being their favorite beverage.

Snohomish County Tribune 7-7-1898 The Bremerton Missouri, Tribune says: Many of our citizens will remember Edward Zeigle, whose home was formerly in this county and who has met many friends here who will be suprised to hear of him. Mr. Zeigle was an uncle to the editor of this paper. Seventeen years ago he left house for the west. After several years had passed away we ceased to hear from him or of him. What had become of him no one seemed to know, and no trace of him could be found anywhere in the great West, although a search was inituated. Five or six years ago we heard in an indirect way, that he had been killed by a band of Indians in the Rocky Mountains, who attacked the band of miners with whom he was journeying. This news did not reach us however from any source of authority and indirectly. We have never given him up for dead and have contiuned the search for him. During the past vear we have prehaps communicated with four hundred post masters at different points in the West where we thought we might learn something of him, but our search was fruitless. Last Friday our father received the following telegram, dated at Snohomish, Wa., June 23: "Your brother Ed injured by falling tree. Not expected to live. Come." signed Frank M. Evens. Mr. Zeilgle immediately made preparations to leave for Washington Monday. Just as he was ready to leave another telegram reached us stating that Uncle Edward was dead. Instructions were wired at one to Mr. Evans to bury the body at Snohomish and to attend to all cemetery arrangements. As to the particulars of the accident that befelt Mr. Zeigle, we as yet know nothing. We shall perhaps be able to give some information relating to it in our next issue. For seventeen long we have searched for and have waited for the missing one. At last news came, but it was sad and brought with it a sorrow that was unexpected and hard to bear. Woodlawn Cemetery ZIEGEL Edward age 40yrs. 6/25/1898
