The funeral of Mr. Fisher took place at the home of his son Mr. J. A. Fisher about one mile West of town on the telephone road. His illness was of short duration and he passed away peacefully in his 76th year. Rev.. Kershaw preached a short sermon at the house and the choir, under the direction of Mr. Gideon Neiswander, sang two very appropriate hymns in German and English. Many of the neighbors were present to render assistance and to show their respect to the deceased and to his son and family. He had been a faithful Christian and a member of the Lutheran Evangelical church for over sixty years.
