FRED FISHER, 81, LIVED IN CEDAR COUNTY OVER 50 YEARS Suffering from the infirmities of advanced age, Mrs. Fred Fisher, 81 years old and Cedar County resident for more than a half a century, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joe Noecker, northeast of Hartington, Tuesday. Born in 1847, at Westphalia, Germany, Mrs. Fisher, then Louise Kramer, came to America with her parents who settled near Milwaukee. There she married Fred Fisher and came with him to Cedar County over fifty years ago, and homesteaded on the farm now occupied by their son Ed Fisher. Mrs. Fisher was an active member of Sts. Peter and Paul church at Bow Valley during the entire time she lived in the vicinity. Besides suffering all the hardships known by the early homesteaders, Mrs. Fisher's early life was sorrowed when a dyptheria epidemic sweeping the county took three of her children from her within a week, more than forty years ago. She was also preceded in death by a husband. Since that time, Mrs. Fisher lived alone at Wynot until last fall when she moved to the home of Mrs. Joe Noecker, northeast of Hartington. She is survived by four children: John living northwest of Bow Valley, Ed, living on the farm homesteaded by his parents, Barney, west of Hartington, and one daughter, Mrs. Noecker. Mrs. Fisher also leaves four nephews and two nieces. They are Julius and Louis Kramer, Peter and Ed Feldhacker of Beaver Creek, Mrs. Jacob Schaeffer of Beaver Creek and Mrs. J.E. Meyer, of Yankton who formerly was a Hartington resident. Funeral services will be held at the Bow Valley church Friday morning and burial will be made in the cemetery nearby.
