JOHN FISHER,
 
A veteran employe of Juniata erecting shop, and for twenty-two years a
citizen of Juniata, died last evening at 9:10 o'clock, of cancer of
the stomach, with other serious complications. John Fisher was born at
Duncansville, September 25, 1852, and was a son of Charles W. and
Rachel Fisher, both deceased. He is survived by his wife and five
children - George and John of Altoona, Mrs. Frank Stahl of
Philadelphia, Mrs. Carl Schultz of Franklin and Mrs. Leonard Trees of
Juniata. Mr. Fisher, since the establishment of Juniata shops, held
the position of testing engineer in the erecting shop and but few of
the thousands of locomotives built in the big plant were finally
passed out without his hand upon the throttle. He was a member of the
Juniata Erecting Shop Burial association. Funeral services will be
held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 in the First Methodist Episcopal
church, by his pastor, Charles W. Wasson. Interment in Oak Ridge.
