"FUNERAL OF JNO. A. FISHER." (St. Louis Republic)

Four sons and two sons-in-law officiated as pall bearers at the funeral 
of Mr. John H. FISHER yesterday from his residence, No. 215 Howard 
street, Rev. Dr. FARRIS conducting the services, which were well 
attended by relatives and friends. Deceased was in the seventy-third 
year of his age, was born in Hamburg, Germany, and came to St. Louis 
when 18 years of age. By old citizens he will be remembered as the 
senior member of the firm of FISHER & ZUBROC, extensive grocers on 
Broadway, later as conducting a wholesale liquor and grocery business 
on Second and Vine streets. In the latter fifties he was a director in 
the Missouri State bank, and about that time a member of the St. Louis 
county democratic central committee. For nine years he has been 
confined to his house by a complication of diseases, and for the past 
three years has hardly been outside of his room. His death, therefore, 
was not unanticipated. He leaves a widow (nee Miss Francis Nicolet) and 
five grown sons and daughters. Interment took place in Bellefontaine, 
and the pall bearers were: Messrs. Louis A. FISHER, merchant at Oakley, 
Kas.; Frank R. FISHER, grocer, St. Louis; William FISHER and John A. 
FISHER, clerks in this city; Edward H. NOLTE, delivery wagon 
manufacturer, and John H. WOLFF, an employe of the Pullman upholstery 
shops. Dr. Charles H. FISHER, the oldest son, a resident of Santa 
Rosalja, Chihuahua, Mexico, was unable to reach the city in time for 
the obsequies. Mr. Frank R. FISHER returned from the Mardi Gras 
celebration in New Orleans, in response to a telegram, in time for the 
services.
