Fowlerville Review February 3, 1905
Robert Fisher died at the home of his son, David Fisher, at Bell Oak, on 
Thursday of last week, aged 91 years. He was born in Wayne Co., New York, Jan. 
16, 1814, and there married to Mariah E. VanWert, August 27, 1836, and in 1847 
they came to Michigan and settled in the township of Tyrone, where they 
remained until about 1853 when they moved to the township of Locke. In 1860 
they moved back to this village, where he conducted a wagon shop until 1870, 
when he moved back to the farm in Locke, where his wife died about twenty 
months ago. Since that time he has made his home with his children. He was 
converted when a young man and united with the M.E. church, living a consistent 
christian life, loved and respected by all. He was the father of ten children, 
six of whom still survive him, one son, G.L. Fisher and one daughter, Mrs. G.D. 
Hamilton being residents of this village.
The funeral services were held at the M.E. church at Bell Oak, of which he was 
a member, on Saturday afternoon, the Rev. W.A. Kishpaugh officiating and the 
remains were interred beside his wife.

Additional Comments:
Fowlerville is in Livingston County, but Bell Oak is in Ingham. Robert and 
Mariah lived in both Ingham and Livingston counties at one time or another.
