in Auburn. Thursday, Sth inst of enlargement
of the heart, Mr.. ROBERT J. FISHER. in tie
34th yer Of bis age, pative OF Baltimore, Mary
land baltimore papers please copy.]
In the death of Mr.. Fisher Auburn has lost a
pioneer citizen and an excellent man. In lS49.
he came to what is now Auburn, but then Wild
with scarcely name to designate the locality
The Company Of which he was member-and
known as the Baltimore Company, commenced
mining in this vicinity and their mining opera
tons were among the earliest in deyclopening the
placers upop the tributaries OF what is now
known as the main Auburn ravine Two of these
tributary ravines yet known rs Little and Big
Baltimore ravines, took their names from the
company of which Mr.. F.. was member in the
pioneering days of 40. Unlike many of the gold
hunters of Those days who were constantly wan
dering after richer diggings. MIR. Fisher remained
hpon the scene of his first essay at mining, and
saw the scattered camp assume the first eviden-
ces Of town by the erection of log cabins, and
shake houses and bearing name OF 'Wood's Dig
ging's," and yet further improvements when the
paths became streets, and more imposing struc-
lures caused the place to rank rs town, and re-
ceive its name as Auburn. Through all the mu-
ations of the place, ia prosperity and advers ity
Mr.. F., remained permanent resident, and rs
builder with his own bands has erected many of
the pleasant homes that adorn our pretty noun
tain village.
His amiable disposition and kndincss of heart
never failed to secure him the respect and esteem
of all men. and in his death all feel that good
and upright man has fallen.
The funeral ceremonies were conducted by the
Odd Fellows. in which fraternity he had filled
important positions.
