ALBERT T. FISHER.

    Mr. Abert T. Fisher is a son of the Hon. Lewis Fisher of West Medway,
Norfolk County, Mass., and was born on the 3d day of May, 1854. At the Medway
district and high schools he was prepared for college, and graduated at Comer's
Commercial College in 1876. During his college attendance, his wants were
supplied by a generous father, which, with his genial good humor, made the whole
course a single holiday with little thought of the future. When he was
twenty-two, the year he completed his education, he came to South Pueblo. The
opening for doing a profitable coal trade being favorable, he engaged in
retailing coal, and has continued in it up to the present time. He began with
one team, and is now hurried with a stable full of horses and mules and
seventeen delivery wagons to supply his increased trade. His stylish residence
on the mesa is surrounded on the south and west by plats of grass, and the
interior is furnished in a style which exhibits a high degree of refinement. At
the early age of twenty-seven, Mr. Fisher is a prominent and wealthy man. He was
a member of the City Council in 1880, and the youngest member that ever sat in
that body. Being, by a legal resident disqualification, ineligible to the
office, he declined being a nominee for a second term.
