Obituary

"James Franklin FISHER died on November 22, 1950 in Council Grove, Morris County, Kansas and buried five days later at Greenwood Cemetery. He was 79 years old."

"James Franklin FISHER was born Nov 5, 1871, three miles southeast of Seneca, Nemaha County, Kansas and departed this life Wednesday evening, Nov 22, 1950 at Council Grove, Kansas."

"He was a son of Geo. W. and Jane FISHER, a northern Kansas pioneer family, one of a family of eight children all of whom have preceded him in death. His grandfather was one of the first whitemen at Seneca, Kansas and one of the first two white men to settle on White Rock Creek, three miles west of the old Pawnee Indian village on the Republican River in Republican County."

"Services were held Monday afternoon, Nov 27 from the Durland Block funeral home. Burial was in Greenwood cemetery. Rev A. BEACH was in charge."

"Baby" FISHER

1CA1. A baby boy is said to have been born during the Civil War while father John Jackson FISHER was away serving the Union Army. The baby died before John's return at about two years of age. This child would most likely have been the first to be born to John and Harriett FISHER.

Orville H. FISHER (1866-)

1CA2. Orville H. FISHER was born in November 1866 in Nebraska.[Cen 1900] He married Dora DEWEY, either a widow or perhaps a divorcé, about 1887.[Cen 1900] She had two children from her first marriage and they later had four more children, all born in Nebraska[Cen 1900], with at least two of them born in Hazard, Sherman County:

X1. Charles DEWEY 5 Nov 1881 Dec 1968 (87)
X2. Flora DEWEY Dec 1884    

1CA21. Milton FISHER 5 Oct 1888 Oct 1966 (78)
1CA22. Frederick R. FISHER 12 Aug 1890 5 Oct 1968 (78)
1CA23. Arthur FISHER Sep 1892    
1CA24. Lawrence L. FISHER 13 Jan 1898 Dec 1982 (84)

After Orville and Dora's marriage about 1887, they stayed on in Nebraska through at least the birth of their fourth son in 1898. Within two years they resettled in Mazon Township, Grundy County, Illinois, southwest of Chicago.[Cen 1900]

Dora passed away between 1900 and 1910[Cen 1910]

After Dora's death, Orville removed a little ways west into neighboring La Salle County, where he and his three youngest boys lived on Commercial Street in Marseilles. There Orville worked as a teamster for a paper mill, son Fred as a factory laborer, and son Arthur as a painter in a factory.[Cen 1910]

Minnie A. (FISHER) ROBINSON (1869-~1903)

1CA3. Minnie (or Millie) A. FISHER was born about August 1869 in Nebraska, probably in Big Sandy, Hobbs Precinct, Sherman County.

1900 Census Correlation?
A Minnie ROBINSON, wife of John ROBINSON, who was born in August 1869 in Nebraska, with parents from Illinois and Indiana, is found enumerated in the 1900 census of Russian River Township, Sonoma County, California. She had daughter Ethel (born in February, 1889 in Nebraska) and son Roy (born in December 1892 in Nebraska).

This record indicates that Minnie married John Hill ROBINSON about 1887 or 1888.[Cen 1900]

1CA31. Ethel L. ROBINSON 15 Feb 1889 31 Oct 1945 (56)
1CA32. Roy ROBINSON Dec 1892    

Based on the 1900 census, both children were born in Nebraska so their migration to California was after 1892, likely around 1894 when brothers David and Theodoric moved to California.[Cen 1900]

Minnie A. (FISHER) ROBINSON likely died in 1903 or 1904, probably in Sonoma County, California. The 1910 census records her widowed husband John, who had been married for 16 years, with their son Roy in Santa Rosa.[Cen 1910]

David A. FISHER (1871-)

1CA4. David A. FISHER was born in March 1871 in Nebraska, probably in Big Sandy, Hobbs Precinct, Sherman County. He was likely named for his grandfather King David FISHER. He moved to California by 1895 and married Annie BLAKELEY in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, on December 24, 1895. Their ceremony was officiated by O. T. BALDWIN.

By 1896 he was living in west Redwood near Guerneville in Sonoma County, California, not far from his brother Theodoric in Forestville. At this time he was a blacksmith who is described as being 6' 3½" tall with a dark complexion, blue eyes, and brown hair. He had a tattoo on his right arm.

Over the next few years they moved to Merced County, California where David worked as a wood chopper.[Cen 1900]

David and Annie are both believed to be buried at the McPeak Cemetery in Forestville, Sonoma County, California, as are David's brother Theodoric and his wife Harriet.

Theodoric Leathe FISHER4 (1877-1911)

Theodoric Leathe FISHER, 1898 1CA5. Theodoric Leathe FISHER4 was said to have been born in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska on March 23, 1877, however, at about that time the FISHER family was probably living in Sherman County in central Nebraska. He married Cora Ethel MILLER of Old Creek, San Luis Obispo County, California in 1898. They had two boys and five daughters:

1CA51. Howard Earl FISHER 30 Jan 1899 15 Jan 1966 (66)
1CA52. Pearl Elizabeth FISHER5 7 Jan 1901 30 Oct 1941 (40)
1CA53. Mildred May FISHER 27 Dec 1902 1989 (86)
1CA54. Carrie Truett FISHER 12 Aug 1904 18 Aug 1936 (32)
1CA55. Merle Everett FISHER 23 Feb 1906 (1990) (84)
1CA56. Sonoma C. FISHER 8 Dec 1907 2 Jul 1993 (85)
1CA57. Alta Vivian FISHER 3 Aug 1909 1910 (½)

Theodoric & Cora FISHER, 1898 About 1894, the FISHER family moved to California with Cora's family. By 1896 they had settled in Forestville, Sonoma County, not far from Theodoric's brother David in nearby Guerneville. Theodoric's voter registration on August 13, 1898 listed him as a blacksmith, as was his father, and described him as standing 6' 3" tall with gray eyes, and dark hair.

Theodoric L. FISHER married Cora E. MILLER on March 22, 1898 in Santa Rosa (Fulton), Sonoma County, California. They were married by J. BROWN, with Theodoric's older brother David FISHER and sister-in-law Annie FISHER, both residents of Forestville, in attendance.

Come 1900, Theodoric, Cora, and Theodoric's parents moved briefly to Stillwater, Churchill County, Nevada, east of Reno. There Theodoric worked as a farm laborer and his father worked as a blacksmith for the John W. and Hannah FREEMAN family. Interestingly, Cora was noted in the census as having had one child (Howard Earl), but he was not enumerated with them.[Cen 1900]

Six months later, the FISHERs swung back through Lockeford, San Joaquin County, California, where their first daughter Pearl was born, and a little later resettled briefly in Forestville, where Mildred was born in 1902.

Around 1903, the FISHER family moved to the Asti Winery near Cloverdale where Theodoric worked as a foreman and had four more children. During this time Theodoric became very ill with consumption (tuberculosis) and slowly wasted away over a period of six years, the last three or four being mostly bedridden. Wife Cora got a job picking hops to support the family during this time.

Theodoric Leathe FISHER succumbed to the tuberculosis and died on January 25, 1911 at the early age of 33. He is buried at the Mount Olive Cemetery, Cloverdale, Sonoma County, California.

Widow Cora remarried and went on to have four more children.

1CD1. Ida FISHER was born about 1875 in Nebraska. She was the first child of Sylvester and Mary J. FISHER, from Indiana and Ohio respectively.

Charles Sylvester FISHER (~1876-)

1CD2. Charles Sylvester FISHER was born on May 11, 1876 or 1877 in Franklin County, Nebraska. He possibly migrated to California with uncle, John Jackson FISHER, who settled in Sonoma County, and could be the Charles FISHER found there in Healdsburg in 1898[Vote 1898]. He returned to Nebraska by 1900 where he settled in Kearney, Buffalo County.[Cen 1900] Charles married Verna Mae WILES on November 9, 1916 in Rock County, Nebraska and had six children.

Charles of Healdsburg, 1898

The 1898 Great Register of Voters records a Charles FISHER in 1898 who was described as age 22, 6' 6" tall, light complexion, grey eyes, and brown hair. He was a laborer from Nebraska who resided in Healdsburg No. 1.[Vote 1898]

The potential correlation of this Charles to Charles Sylvester is based solely on name, age, birth state, and uncommonly characteristic height.

Charles moved a little ways down river to Wood River, Dawson County, Nebraska by 1930[Cen 1930] for a time but later returned to Kearney.

Charles Sylvester FISHER died on July 24, 1949 in Kearney.
