General Notes: Husband - William Charles Fisher


He came to America with his parents in 1833, and learned the butcher's trade under the supervision of his father, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, remaining there until he was twenty-two years of age. He then removed to Beaver County, purchasing a farm in Moon township, which he cultivated, and conducted his butchering business at the same time, until 1866, when he removed to Vanport, Pennsylvania, in Borough township, and opened a butcher shop in Beaver. He conducted this very successfully until his death. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church, in which he was a trustee. During the Civil War he was a member of the recruiting committee in his township, and he was an ardent Republican.
