Roy Fisher, manager of the Team Gin Co., was called today to Sayre, where his father, Joel Fisher died this afternoon. His remains will be shipped to Hico, Texas, for interment. He was paralyzed a year or two ago and he never had recovered from that and it is presumed that he had another stroke which resulted in his death today. (6 Oct 1905, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK): Joel Fisher Dies. Mr. Joel Fisher, father of Frank, Roy and Wesley Fisher, died at the home of Frank Fisher in this city Thursday afternoon at 2:30. Mr. Fisher was 66 years old, and had been in feeble health for some time. The remains were sent today to Hico, Texas, for burial, which was his old home. The Masonic order, of which he was a member, escorted the body to the train. (12 Oct 1905, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK): Resolution of Condolence. Whereas, Joel Fisher departed this life Oct. 5, 1905. The loved and loving husband, father, friend, died where the evening almost touches the night and while the shadows were falling toward the east. Taking his burden for a pillow he lay down and fell into that dreamless sleep which kisses down his eyelids still. Therefore be it resolved that Sayre Chapter 42 extend their deepest sympathies to our bereaved brothers and sisters who mourn the loss of a father, and be it resolved that a copy of this resolution be spread on the minutes and made a matter of record, also that a copy be sent to some newspaper for publication. Committee: B. S. Andrews; Ida M. Andrews; Bertha McAnerny. --------------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/beckham/beckham.htm
