G.C. Fisher engaged in farming and cattle raising. He was also well known as an auctioneer. He first bought a small farm on Big Run, but only lived there a short time before he moved to a farm which he had purchased from Milton Norris in 1896. This farm was on Middle Run near Latonia. Only a few families lived there at the time. The first school and church in the community were built on this farmland.
