DEATH OF DAVID M. FISHER.
An Aged mill Respected Resident of Sinking Valley.

  David M. Fisher died at his home in Sinking Valley, about one mile 
from Arch Spring, at 9 o'clock Friday night last, from pneumonia which 
resulted from an attack of the grip several months ago, since which 
attack he had been ailing, the culmination coming in the disease which 
proved fatal. 
  Mr. Fisher was born on the farm adjoining that on which he died, on 
October 10, 1828, and was consequently aged 68 years, 7 months and 18 
days.  He had spent his entire life in the immediate neighborhood of 
Arch Spring, where he was esteemed and respected by all who knew him.  
In the Presbyterian church he was an active, useful and consistent 
member, in the community he was a public spirited but unassuming 
citizen, and in the family he was a devoted and model husband and 
brother. 
  Surviving the deceased are his wife, Mrs. Sarah Ann Fisher, and two 
brothers, John, residing on the old homestead, near Arch Spring, and 
Rev. Daniel W., president of Hanover college, Indiana.  The funeral 
services were conducted by Rev. L. M. Lewis, at the late home of the 
deceased, at 10 o'clock Monday morning.  Interment in cemetery at Arch 
Spring.
