CYRUS B. FISHFR is a son of Simon and Anna (Brinker) Fisher and was born
September 30, 1854, in Mt. Pleasant township, Westmoreland county, Pa. His
great-grandfather, Adam Fisher, was in all probability a native of Lancaster
county, Pa., whence he emigrated about one hundred years ago to this county,
settling on the farm where the subject of this sketch was born. He was connected
with the German Reformed church and politically was a democrat. Adam Fisher
(grandfather) was born on the homestead farm in Mt. Pleasant township and became
the father of ten children. One of them, Simon Fisher (father), was born in the
same township April 1, 1827, where he is a farmer and stock-raiser. He is a
member of the Reformed church and in politics a democrat. He was first married
to Anna Brinker, by whom he had six children: Emma, who died young; Cyrus B.,
James B., Reuben (dead); William and one that died in infancy. The mother of
these children died December, 1859, when Cyrus was but five years of age, and
their father afterwards married Elizabeth Geiger, and to this marriage were born
nine children: Annie, Harry, Clark, Andrew, Logan, Charles, Nellie, and two that
died in infancy. Jacob Brinker (maternal grandfather) was a native of
Westmoreland county and lived for many years on the farm where the coal works at
Mutual now stand, but his latter days were spent at Latrobe, where he died at
the advance age of ninety-four years. His first wife was Anna Barnhart and his
second Elizabeth Bott.

   Cyrus B. Fisher had a common and normal School education and taught six terms
of school, one of them as principal of the Texas schools near Mt. Pleasant. In
1883 he became one of the principal stockholders of the Sewickley Cooperative
Association, of which he was the manager during the first year of its existence,
and when the same was sold to the Sewickley Supply Company Mr. Fisher was made
manager, which position he still holds. In politics he is rather independent,
voting for the man best qualified for the position; he belongs to the Reformed
church, while his wife is a Presbyterian.

   Cyrus B. Fisher was married December 21, 1882, to Maud M. Jamison, a daughter
of Joseph and Maria (Miller) Jamison, of Unity township. To their union have
been born three children: Joseph, born February 25th, 1884: Mary, born June
25th, 1889; and one that died in infancy.
