OBITUARY.
Mrs. Emma Abbot Fisher, who passed away
at Eggemoggin, Maine. July End, was daugh-
ter of Lemuel and Harriet Crosby Clark of
Winterport, who were among the pioneers of
that town, which was formerly Frankfort. In
her early years Mrs. Fisher was successful
school teacher. She married James C. Fisher
of Lawrence, manufacturer of note, and their
married life was passed in Lawrence and they
were both members of 1.-The Old Residents
Club of that city. Mr.. Fisher died sixteen
years ago, and since that time Mrs. Fisher has
travelled abroad extensively, usually accom-
panied by her daughter, Mrs. Mary Fisher Bos-
son of Boston and Eggemoggin. Mrs. Fisher was
a granddaughter of Col John Brown, Jr., and
a great granddaughter of Gen John Brown
who was one of the prominent early settlers Of
Belfast. Williamson's history of Belfast gives
an interesting account of Gen. Brown and his
son and the signal service both rendered to the
infant nation during the Revolutionary period.
The Browns and their wives were both buried
in the burying ground on the Searsport road in
East Belfast, and few years ago some of the
descendants found the old-fashioned slate head
stones fallen down and buried beneath dust
and debris A M dest sum of money was raised
and huge boulder of native stone was laced
on the graves and the old headstones, with the
lettering recut, were riveted on with copper
bowels, making them practically impervious to
time and the elements Mrs. Fisher was one
who contributed generously for this purpose
and took great interest in the work. She was
proud of her ancestry and was we'll posted re.

Mrs. Fisher was literally endowed by nature
with ability and intelligence. Her long trips
abroad were delight to her and her mind was
richly stored by her foreign observations. 1t
was always delight to her friends to listen to
her descriptions of travel. With all her busy
life, old friends were never forgotten, and at
the simple service when she was consigned to
earth were many old friends of her girlhood
days. She ever lived beautiful Christian life
and her charity was broad and liberal. She was
a devoted friend, mother and sister, and ever
