General Notes: Husband - Henry Oliver Fisher

---

He was reared to the sturdy discipline of the old homestead farm, and received a common school education in the district schools of Elk township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. He re­mained at home until 1901, when he came to Beaver township, where for the ensuing three years he worked a farm which he rented. In 1904 he purchased the M. E. Hess place of eighty-six acres, and on that estate he then maintained his home. In 1907 he erected a spacious and substantial barn, and in 1911 put up a beautiful residence.

A peculiar acci­dent occurred on October 10, 1912, by which Mr. Fisher lost a great deal of valuable prop­erty. A cyclone, probably one hundred yards wide, came up suddenly about four o'clock, and after destroying buildings on his farm two miles west of Knox, it carried the debris over the town and again struck earth and wrecked more property one mile southeast of Knox, the wind blowing with such velocity as even to blow the feathers off from live chickens. Mr. Fisher's loss was about $3,000, his machine house going first, it being bodily lifted upon the roof of his large barn. In it had been kept his farm machinery. After the storm no trace of it could be found. The roof of the barn was demolished, and a two-story horse stable, in which Mr. Fisher and his sons had taken refuge, was totally destroyed. The following day with the help of neighbors, all grain and hay was removed to places of storage, and on October 12 a dozen men started to rebuild the barn, finishing it within a week. The stable was also rebuilt, having the dimensions 35 by 65 by 16 feet in height; and the buggy shed, and other buildings adjacent were again put in place. The machine house was, however, irretrievably lost. In spite of this misfortune Mr. Fisher continued his business, and was known as one of the most successful men of that part of the country. He devoted his at­tention to diversified agriculture, and the rais­ing of high grade stock, and was also en­gaged in the dairy business, supplying the village of Knox with milk. He was fortunate in having three productive oil wells on his farm.
In a fraternal way he was affiliated with Knox Lodge, No. 954, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He and his wife were devout members of the Lutheran church at Edenburg. [GPHAV, 1013]
