Concerning the descendant of a leading
teacher and character builder of Newfane's
early history: DR.. Edward Fisher, head of
the Toronto, Canada, conservatory of mus
ic, sends to a relative here to be answered,
letter from Prof Kieffer of Franklin and
Marshall college, Pa, in regard to the for
mer history of Aaron Crosby Fisher, a
native of this town, half BROTHER of the
late George Fisher, and namesake grand
son of Rev. Aaron Crosby, who was so
well known in Newfane's early history, as
a missionary to the Indians. Mr.. Fisher
was an Amherst college student and after
ward principal of Middlebury, Pa, acad-
envy, in which service he died after a few
years when comparatively young man.
He was so beloved as friend, teacher and
character builder that after lapse of
40 years some old pupils gathered together
| lamented that there was no public record
of his great influence over the young and
others, and it is now proposed to give de-
| tailed account of his winsome life as an
atfectionate and appreciative tribute from
/ contemporaries, and incentive TO noble ser
| vice in character forming.
