DEATH OF A PIONEER CITIZEN

Mr. Fisher was one of the pioneer settlers of Ellis county, coming here in the fall of 1875 from Michigan.

Mr. Fisher was born in Ohio on June 16, 1826, and resided in that state until he was a young man when he moved to Michigan, coming from that state to Texas. He was married three times and is survived by a widow and eight children. The children are W.W. Fisher of Lansing, Mich.; C.C. Fisher of Ellis county; F.F. Fisher of Marietta, Okla.; J.J. Fisher of Flagstaff, Ari.; M.M. Fisher of Prescott, Ari.; A.A. Fisher of Douglass, Ari.; Mrs. Florence Everetts of Clinton, Okla.; and Mrs. Arthur Mackoy of Waxahachie.
