Lake Odessa Wave, 9 Feb 1923

Gave Much To His Community

Forty Year Resident of Campbell Dies Friday at the Home of His Daughter.

Fred Tisher, one of the substantial farmers of Campbell township, laid down the 
armour of life and passed to his reward last Friday morning at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. S. W. Mote.

Mr. Tisher had been poorly for some time previous to his giving up, but was 
able to get around some and was particular about looking after things that 
needed to be done.  On December 7th, he went to the home of his daughter, where 
he died as stated above.  However, everything was done that could be done, even 
an operation at Grand Rapids could not bring health.

Mr. Tisher was a man respected by all who knew him and beloved by his children 
and grand children.

Obituary

Fred Tisher, of Campbell, was born in Morrow County, Ohio, Nov. 3, 1843, and 
died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. W. Mote, Feb. 2, 1923, aged 79 years, 
2 months and 29 days.  He was united in marriage to Margaret Henney in 1867.  
They came to Michigan to live in 1882 and settled on the farm where they lived 
continuously and raised their family of six sons and two daughters.

These eight children, with 28 grand children, two great grand children, two 
sisters and many other relatives and friends survive him.  The family circle 
remained unbroken until the death of the mother, seven years ago.

He united with the Brethren Church in 1889, of which he remained a faithful 
member until his death.

Often during his illness of the last few months, he expressed his faith in his 
Lord and Master and his readiness to go to meet Him.  His last words of counsel 
to his dear ones were, that they too should follow the footsteps of the master 
and meet him in the better world.

The funeral was held at the U.B. in Christ Church, Lake Odessa, Sunday.  Rev. 
C. H. Zuse preached and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Mourer and Mrs. W. A. Shroll sang.  
Miss Ethel Voorhis presided at the piano.  Burial was at Lake Side.
