They are the parents of one son, Carl, born February 27, 1880. They are members of the German Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Zwick is of the firm of Charles H. Zwick & Co., which is engaged in the manufacture of woolen hosiery and mittens, employing from eighty to one hundred hands. This was an industry established in 1880.
