services Wednesday morning in St. Mary's Catholic church, Parisville.  Mr. 
Fisher was fatally injured last Saturday when a Pere Marquette diesel engine 
struck his horse and cutter near Tyre.  He died in Hubbard Memorial 
hospital, Bad Axe.  The accident occurred on the railroad right-of-way about 
720 feet south of the depot in Tyre.  Fisher and a companion, Cassimer 
Polum, were riding in the cutter, which was straddling a rail, when the 
train approached suddenly around a curve.  Polom escaped injury by jumping 
from the cutter but Fisher, who was driving the horse, was unable to get out 
before the engine struck the cutter.  The two men apparently did not know 
the road into Tyre had been opened Saturday and were going down the railroad 
which is a shorter route from Fishers home to Tyre than the road.  Mr. 
Fisher was discharged from the Army last November and was married to Miss 
Edna Glaza last month.
