DEATH OF JUDGE J.V. FISHER

In the death of Judge J.V. Fisher in Fort Cobb, Monday morning of 
last week, Caddo county loses one of her most highly respected 
citizens. His life covered a period of 79 years and 17 days, and was 
devoted to service for others. He was a Civil War Veteran, and at the 
time of his death was writing a history of an Indian war in which he 
and one other were the only known living survivors. It was his 
ambition to have this history placed in the hands of Oklahoma boys 
and girls. Among his other acts of service, twenty years of school 
teaching, and around twenty years of work as justice of the peace, 
make his life's history particularly interesting. Full of activity, 
he performed his duties to the public, until the illness preceding 
his death, which was of only a few days' duration. Loved and 
respected by all who knew him, his going leaves a dull ache in the 
hearts of all, and while bowing to the inevitable, we thank God for 
precious memories, and with a full understanding of the loneliness of 
the immediate family of our dear friend, may we extend a hand of 
sympathy. May they try to be like him.
