OBITUARY FROM THE HISTORY OF ELKHART COUNTY
MRS. LAURA ANN FISHER
Mrs. Laura Ann Fisher died in Bristol, Elkhart County, Indiana January 9, 1887, the beloved wife of Nicholas Fisher, aged almost sixty four years. The decease of this estimable Christian lady is death's first visit to this now broken household. She was the youngest daughter of the late Abraham Depew, and sister of the late Rev. T. C. Depew, the spiritual father of the Presbyterian Church in that part of Indiana; also of Rev. N. A. Depew, a member of Central New York Methodist Conference. She was born in Salisbury, Connecticut, May 16, 1823, and in 1842 removed with her parents to Shandaken, Ulster County, New York. Here she experienced religion and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and about 1845 was united in marriage with her now bereaved husband. Her loving nature entwined around her husband's life with great strength of character, and together for more than forty years they met in holy union all of its varied vicissitudes. Seven children were born to them, two sons and five daughters.
In 1854 they removed from the state of New York to Indiana. Here they toiled and through much labor and self-denial had just secured to themselves a competency and a beautiful home. Her pious devotion, tender religious conscience, which could not endure the slightest approach of sin, was the most noted trait in her strong religious character. Her ill health for many years deprived her of the blessings of religious social life, and this sent her to secret communion with her God. She loved her private devotions, the Word of God and the Guide. Much of her time was spent in prayer and sweet answers came to her in the early conversion of her devoted husband and their children. Her heart was ever open to the spirit's influence, and most eminently it could be said, "She set her foot on Hell". She had often expressed the hope that her departure might be on a Sabbath morning and her request was graciously granted by her Heavenly King. She spoke in her correspondence with friends of late she would soon depart and assured them of her willingness to go and the joy with which she would welcome them on the "distant shore".
Her funeral was attended by a large and sympathizing audience of friends and relatives. Her only remaining sister, Mrs. J. A. Tracy, of the city of Elmira, New York, was summoned to the sad rites, and by chance the sister and relatives of his family also. We mourn for the desolate left here on these receding shores, but for her we can but hope it is an eternal gain.
