James Fisher Dead.

James Fisher, formerly of Rensselaer, but who moved to Hammond about three years ago, died at his home in that city at 10:45 Sunday night, aged 59 years. Mr. Fisher had been in failing health for the past two apd a half years and had been able to work only a very little during that time. For three or four weeks prior to his death he had been confined to his bed. It was generally believed that he had lung trouble, but it was his desire that a post-mortem examination be made, and such examination disclosed a complication of diseases but that his main trouble was enlargement of the liver. The remains will be brought to Rensselaer this afternoon on the 1:57 train and the funeral will be held at once, at 2 o’clock, from the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. P. C. Curnick and burial made in Weston cemetery. Mr. Fisher was a carpenter by

trade and had spent most of his life

in Jasper county. He leaves a wife, three daughters, Mrs. Harry Murray, Clara and Ethel Fisher, all of Hammond; one brother, Joseph Fisher of Shelbyville; three sisters, Mrs. Louis Worland ,of Jennings county, Mrs. M. C. Mills of Newpoint, Ind., and Mrs. Mary Nichols of South Dakota, and many other relatives and sorrowing friends.
