Author: Warner & Beers (1886)

   D. C. FISHER (deceased) late manufacturer, was born in Greensborough, Penn.,
July 27, 1821, son of John and Esther (Smith) Fisher, of pioneer German
ancestry, in that State. Jacob Smith, father of Mrs. Esther Fisher, served all
through the Revolutionary war as a worthy officer under Washington. D. C. Fisher
learned carpentering in his native place and was prominently identified with the
building interests of that locality for many years. In 1861 he retired from
business there and came to Find-lay, this county, to engage in the lumber trade,
with which industry he was successfully connected up to his death. He was one of
Findlay's most active citizens, and assisted materially in the development of
many of its important manufacturing interests. In 1865 he built and established
an extensive planing-mill and sash, door and blind factory, and upon the
organization of the Findlay Stave and Handle Factory he became a leading
proprietor, as also of the Findlay Manufacturing Company, both of which
interests he retired from with loss. He married, November 12, 1850, in his
native place, Deborah Miller, who bore him two sons and five daughters, of whom
one son and four daughters survive: Harry WT., Annabel (wife of Newton McLure),
Addie M. (wife of Henry Byers), Bertha and Lulu.

March 13, 1884, Mrs. Fisher passed away from this life in fall communion with
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is laid to rest in Maple Grove Cemetery. Mr.
Fisher died October 5, 1885, aged sixty-four years, two months, eight days. The
family are all members of .the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which Mr. Fisher
had been worthily connected for many years, and officially, in Findlay, for over
twenty years. He was a member of the I. 0. 0. F. He always held aloof from
public office, but served his adopted city with good repute in her councils. He
was a worthy citizen, a genial gentleman and a public-spirited progressive
business man, and his loss was deeply felt. In politics he was a Republican.
