Death OF VIM. S. Fisher
Our town was saddened on Mon
day last when the news came that
one of our most highly respected
farmers had gone to his reward.
Mr.. Fisher had not been in robust
health for several years past and
had gone to Milton to consult a
physician in regard to his ailments.
While sitting in the office of Doctor
r. B. Hopkins, who was trying to
relieve him from a severe pain in
the breast from which he was suf-
fering, he passed away. His son,
+, Walter, was with him when death
came.

those aged high toned country gen

business of farming, until the death
of his companion several years ago,
when he turned over the business to
his son, Walter, and retired, MAX
ing his home with his son and wife,
who tried in every way to make
their home pleasant for him.

and in the days of the old singing |
schools, his sweet tenor voice was
