General Notes: Husband - George E. Fisher

---

During boyhood he enjoyed the advantages of farm life, strengthening his physique by outdoor exercise; but after the death of his father, his mother removed to Salem, Pennsylvania, where she thereafter resided. The public schools near his home furnished him with the beginnings of knowledge, but in the fall of 1884 he entered the Susquehanna University, then Missionary Institute. After graduation at the end of the Sophomore year at Missionary Institute, he spent one year teaching in the public schools of Penn township, Snyder County, with ability and success, but feeling, however, the need of a complete college course, he entered the Junior class at Bucknell University in the fall of 1889. His work there was marked by the same studiousness that had characterized his work in the former institution, and in 1891 he was graduated from the university with honors.
In the fall of the same year he accepted the principalship of the Friends' Normal Institute, at Rising Sun, Maryland. After holding this position for one year, he resigned to accept the professorship of Science in Bucknell Academy. In this institution he labored faithfully for four years, endearing himself, by his devotion to his work, to all entrusted to his care and instruction. At the close of the spring term of 1896 the professorship of the Natural Sciences in Susquehanna University became vacant. After careful deliberation, the Board of Directors concluded that Professor Fisher was the proper man for the vacancy, and he was unanimously elected. To him it was a matter of great regret to leave his former position, but his love for his first Alma Mater, and a conviction that a larger field of usefulness was awaiting him, caused him to accept the position. Professor Fisher was an earnest Christian, science and revelation speaking to him alike of the great First Cause. He was a member of the Lutheran Church.
