Death of Mrs. Mary Fisher.

After a lingering illness Mrs. Mary Fisher, wife of Michael Fisher,
died at her husband's residence, No. 1506 Fifth avenue on Monday last
at noon.  Mrs. Fisher had been in failing health for some months.
Last winter a year she was a sufferer from a dropsical affection and
also was subject to heart disease.  She became much better, however,
during the summer, but last November was again taken sick and was
confined to her bed since then until her death.  Deceased was a kind
neighbor, a loving wife and affectionate mother and her final simmons
found her prepared, for early in life she joined the Catholic church
and at the time of her death she was a member of the congregation of
St. Mary's.  Her husband and children will have the sympathy of their
friends in their bereavement.

Mrs. Fisher, whose maiden name was Falder, was born in the state of
Bavaria, Germany, March 9, 1832.  With Mr. Fisher she emigrated to
this county in 1852, arriving in Hollidaysburg on June 24, of that
year.  They were married in this city in July, 1852, and had made
their home here ever since.  Ten children were born to them, of whom
eight are living, as follows: Mary, widow of Charles Haid; Annie,
widow of John B. Stehle; Mrs. Caroline Bowman, of Cincinnati; John
Fisher of this city, and Misses Frances and Lizzie, Willie and George
Fisher residing at home.  Two sisters and two brothers of the deceased
live in Germany.
