    Jeremiah M. Fisher, farmer and stockman, is the son of Jeremiah
and Catherine (Marshall) Fisher, both natives of Pennsylvania and
of German descent.  After marriage the parents moved to Ohio, 
locating in Logan County, where the father died in 1852, at the 
age of forty-one.  In 1863 the widow and family moved to Mahaska 
County, Iowa, and there the widow still lives, being seventy-five 
years of age.  She was a member of the Presbyterian Church.  The 
father was a shoemaker by trade, and a Democrat in politics.  Of 
the nine children born to their marriage, the fourth in order of 
birth was Jeremiah M. Fisher, whose birth occurred in Logan County,
Ohio, January 1, 1842.  He was reared to farm labor, and attended
school but very little after he was twelve years of age, as his 
father died about that time.  He remained with his mother, and 
with her went to Iowa, but before leaving Ohio he married, 
January 22, 1863, Miss Lucy A. Whitaker, a native of Morrow County,
Ohio born August 10, 1842.  This union resulted in the birth of 
eight children, six now living: Emerson W., Charley W., Jeremiah W., 
Lucy R., Lee W., and Bessie W.  After moving to Iowa in 1863, they
continued there one year, and then returned to Ohio, where they 
remained until 1866, and then came to Greene County.  Here he 
farmed and handled stock until 1874, when he moved to Barton County,
and there continued his agricultural pursuits for eight years.  
After this he kept a livery stable in Lamar until 1888, when he 
moved to Polk County, and is now the owner of 495 acres of land, 
besides other interests in Barton County.  He is a Democrat in 
politics, and is a representative citizen.  Mrs. Fisher is a member
of the Congregational Church.
