Mrs. Hester B. Stevens Came to This Place in 1830, Funeral Held Monday.  Chester
Fisher Came to Berrien Township in 1845, Funeral Tomorrow Afternoon, Lutheran
Church

	Friday evening death took from this place Mrs. Hester B. Stevens. . .Chester
Fisher, son of Joseph and Nancy Fisher was born in Portage county, Ohio in 1839
and came to Michigan with his parents at the age of six years, the family
driving through the then heavy forests, in habited by the Indians and wild beast.
	His parents located in Berrien township, and he lived there until about 45
years ago when he moved to the farm on which his son Anson Fisher now resides.  
	In 1860, Mr. Fisher was united in marriage to Miss Matilda Murphy, of which
union two children survive him, his wife having preceded him to the other world,
nine yers ago.  Anson residing on home place and Mrs. Etta Knight of Weesaw
township, he also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Jan Webster of this place and Mrs.
Ella Armstrong of Berrien Center and a brother Joseph.
	Mr. Fisher will be missed by a very large number of people here, for a question
of any date of years ago arising, Mr. Fisher was considered reliable for the
information, and could also give all connecting links.  Only Monday in talking
with his son Anson, he told of the condition of the weather 50 years ago, how it
was such a rainy week.
	For the past seven years Mr. Fisher has been totally blind and was partially
blind for several years previous, his eyes being effected[sic] by cataracs[sic].
 Mr. Fisher had only been confined to his home for about a week, passing a way
yesterday morning, although he had been failing since about election time.
	The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o’clock from the Lutheran
church with Rev. Bixler officiate.[sic]  Interment will take place at East Union.
