Can anyone help me with an obituary either one, or both, of the following
persons?
Fisher David C born 1839 - died 1913 buried in Eberhard Cemetery -A-20-9
Fisher Charlott born 1913[sic, 1813] - died 1895 buried in Eberhard
Cemetery -A-20-11
D.C. Fisher appears in the "History of Washington Twp., Whitley Co., IN"
in 1882:
"(David C.) D. C. FISHER was born in Wayne County, Ohio, January 29, 1839,
the son of William C. and Charlotte Fisher, both born in 1806 [sic, 1802
and 1813], and natives of England and Canada respectively. They were
married in Canada in 1829, and moved to Wayne County about 1836; remained
there about ten years and then removed to Stark County; in 1861 [no, by
1860] they came to Miami County, this State, where the father died in May,
1868, and where the mother now lives on the homestead farm, the mother of
nine children. In January, 1862, in Miami County, our subject enlisted in
Company F, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and went to the front. He came home
on a furlough and married Phebe E. Thompson, July 19, 1862, and then
returned and served in his regiment till the close of the war. On his
return, he moved to Whitley County, near Columbia City; remained there
seven years, and then came to this township and settled in Section No. 9,
on a rented farm, and soon after bought the sixty acre farm where he now
resides, and moved on in 1877. His wife died here May 24, 1879, and June
20, 1880, he married Mrs. Lucy A. Crins. His farm is in fine condition and
he has a very comfortable home, with a prosperous future before him."
