Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 March 1905 — DEATH OF HENRY FISHER. [ARTICLE]

DEATH OF HENRY FISHER.

Uncle Henry Fisher, who had been in poor health for some time, died at 4:30 a. m., Monday, Eeb. 27, at the home of his son, James H. Fisher, with whom he had been living for the past six months. It was not thought that there was any immediate danger or his other children would have been called here, therefore his death came sudden and unexpected. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2:30 p. m., from the F. W. Baptist church, W. R. Nowels, of Flora, Carroll county, conducting the services, assisted by Rev. Kindig, of the M. E. church. Mr. Fisher was born Feb. 24, 1821, and was therefore 84 years and 3 days of age at the time of his death. March 13,1843, he was married to Nancy McClaugblin who died Dec. 20, 1895. To this union ten children were born, five of whom —Mrs. Minerva Mills and Mary E. Nichols, of Jennings county, Joseph Fisher and Rebecca YVorland, of Shelby county, and James H. Fisher, of Rensselaer —are still living and were in attendance at the funeral. He moved to this county from Marion County, Ind., in the spring of 1877, and resided here until about five yeare ago, when he sold his farm here and bought several hundred acres of land in Jennings county and removed there. He had lately disposed of most of his lands in Jennings county and returned here last fall to make his home with his son James. In 1855 Mr. Fisher united with the Primitive Baptist church and remained a faithful member until called away by death. He was a respected citizen and an honest man. May his soul rest in peace.
