Tom Zieg dies at 70
Thomas Astor Zieg, a Nashville lawyer and behind-the-scenes community leader, died Saturday, January 30, 1999, at his home. He was 70 and was a heart patient.
An advisor to Republicans and other public servants on the local and state levels, Mr. Zieg had maintained an influential presence on the Brown County scene since moving to Nashville in the late 1960s.
His particular interests were local government, public education and land development.
He served as appointed legal counsel for the Nashville Town Board and the Brown County school board and was involved in the early development of such major projects as establishment of the Brown County Inn, Nashville's second large-scale business.
A key figure in the evolution of Brown County's court system, Mr. Zieg was appointed Nashville's first town judge, signaling the decline of the old justice-of-the-peace system.
He joined and spearheaded a successful lobbying effort before the state legislature to establish Brown County's first separate circuit court. It would combine all the county's judicial functions into one office, thus eliminating his own job as well as the justice of the peace.
In the 1970s, he started a business designed to introduce modular residential housing to Brown County.
Mr. Zieg was a founding member of the Brown County Bar Association and had served as its president.
He divided his business time between the practice of real-estate law and managing Nashville Abstract and Title, a company that searches and verifies real-estate legal documents.
Born to a family of broadcasters, Mr. Zieg pursued that communications interest in Brown County by establishing Hometown Cable in the 1980s. It operated cable channel 2 in the Nashville area and channel 4 in the Cordry-Sweetwater Conservancy District, originating local news and public-affairs information until last year.
He appeared on camera as a news reader and interviewer and produced programs hosted by other community figures.
Following legal service to the county school system, Mr. Zieg contributed an anonymous column to The Democrat entitled "The Brown County School Marm". It focused on back-to-basics education and correct use of the English language.
A member of the Indiana Historical Society, Mr. Zieg was a passionate student of the past, often whimsically regaling those in his company with obscure facts in detail.
Longtime friend and business associate Greg Temple, publisher of The Democrat, termed Mr. Zieg, a "true informed visionary, one of only two or three I've been blessed to know."
Born January 22, 1929, in Fort Wayne, Mr. Zieg was the son of Fred and Sylvia (Eastman) Zieg.
He was married to the former Barbara Windhorst, an accountant with whom he shared their Nashville office building.
Mr. Zieg received a doctorate of jurisprudence from the Indiana University School of Law in 1971.
He was an Army veteran of the Korean War.
Mr. Zieg was preceded in death by two brothers, Robert and Richard Zieg.
Other survivors include two sons, Richard and Zachary Zieg, both of Nashville, and a daughter, Tracy Grotzinger of Erie, Pennsylvania
Calling hours are today from 4 until 8 p.m. at the Bond-Mitchell Funeral Home. Private family services were planned.
