FISHER.
is with more than ordinary sorrow
that we chronicis the death Of Mr.. J.
w. r. Fisher, of this city, which &C.
CURED Monday morning at 8 o'clock
after lingering illness from Bright's
disease. He waa a good citizen, in
every sense of the word, and fall of the
milk of human kindness. Few men i n
tnls COIL luuHilS Wtfc Hclu III HiSHeI
esteem than he, and we find it hard to
express our individual appreciation of
his character. He was q native Of Mar
tinsburg, and was universally esteem
ed in business as well as private life.
We can pay him no higher tribute thar
to say, that he was one of natures no
blemen, an honest man the noblest
work of God. He was an ardent and
consistent member of the Reformed
church, and ever active in its councils.
He is survived by wife, and two
sons, Howard and Owen and also
three sisters, Mrs. g. Wsllinger and
Miss Eliza Fisher of this city and Mrs.
Abe Vanmetre of this county. The
funeral took place on Thursday after
noon from Christ Reformed church at
$50 O'Clock and the interment was in
Green Hill cemetery, Rev. DR.. Hof-
helms officiating.
