Joseph Henry Zumbalen
Joseph Henry Zumbalen, professor of law in the Washington University
was born in St. Louis, July 4, 1861, a son of Henry and Augusta (Wurtz)
Zumbalen, the former a native of Oldenburg, Germany, while the latter was
born in Emmerich, in the Rhine province of Germany. The father came to the
new world in young manhood, and the mother crossed the Atlantic with her
parents when a maiden of twelve summers. Both settled in St. Louis where
they were subsequently married and-continued to reside until- called to
the home beyond.
Joseph Henry Zumbalen was educated in the Lutheran parochial school and in
the public schools of St. Louis, passing through consecutive grades to the
high school. He afterward attended the Washington University from which he
received his LL. B. degree in 1887. He later entered upon the practice of
law in partnership with Clinton Rowell and Franklin Ferriss, the latter
being subsequently a member of the state supreme court. Mr. Rowell died
about 1908 and Mr. Zumbalen continued his partnership with Judge Ferriss,
but in 1916 gave up the active work of the courts to accept the
professorship in law in the Washington University. He has since been
identified with this prominent institution and has displayed superior
ability in the educational fields.
