JUDGE FISHER.

OWING to absence of the editor FROM
the office of the TRANSCRIPT last week
failed to note the death of Hon. George
P. Fisher which occurred at Washing
ton, D. g., Feb. 10th. For years Judge
Fisher has been prominent in the af-
fairs of this State, and more genial
and affable gentleman one seldom
meets. Because of his years he has not
been SO prominent recently, but his
charming per onality must long be re-
membered. TGose who knew him feel
hat they have lost friend.
The following interesting sketch is
is clipped from an exchange:
DEATH OF GEORGE P. FISHER.
Hon. George Purnell Fisher died in
Washington on Friday Feb. 10th.
He was born in Milford on October
18Th, 1917. He attended the school in
the neighborhoOd until he was II years
old, when he went TO st. Mary $ College.
Baltimore. He remained at the insti-
tution but one year ard then entered
the sophomore class of Dickinson
College, where he graduated in 1888.
He then went to Dover. where he stud
led law with john M. Clayton and at
the time taught sc hool there. He was
admitted to practice in 1941 at Georg..
town and opened an office in Dover.
where he soon gained good practice.
When John M. Clayton was appointed
Secretary of State Mr.. Fisher entered
public life by becoming his private Sec
retary. In Washington Mr.. Fisher at
tracted considerable attention by his
ability, and President Taylor sent him
on a mission TO Brazil to adjudicate
certain claims held by citiZsns Of thi-
country against Brazil. He accom-
pIisheG the work and returned to this
country in 1852.
Mr.. Fisher then went to Dover and
resumed the practice of law. In 1856
be was appointed attorney general OF
State by Gov. Cansey and a. the end
of that time was elected to g ,ngress
by the Peoples party. He was renom
mated the Republicans, but was defeat
ed. While in Congress his ability at
tracted the attention of President Lin
coin and IN 1868 he was appointed by
Mr.. Lincoln 10 be associate Judge of
the Supreme Court Of the d srtict OF
Columbia. He retained this position
until 1870, when he resigned to
become district attorney Of The
District of Columbia, to which .po-
sition he was appointed by President
Grant. After his term Of Office had ex-
pired he returned, to Delaware and
practiced law rntil the time of tbs
Harrison administration, when be
was made first auditor of the treasury.
After that cffice be held no other and
removed to Milford. When the frs.
Delaware Cavalry was oiganized in
this State during the civil war, be was
made colonel, but declined on account
of having been app inted judge.
Mr.. Fisher married Miss Eliza A..
McColley, the daughter OF Rev. 4. Z.
McColley, in 1910. lie was always
active in Republican politics aud WAS
generally looked u2ol as man ol
more than ordinary ability.
