Jacob R. FISHER died at his home, two miles south of the

was a native of Shelby County and came to Howard county in 1860,
settling in Harrison township. He was a charter member of the I.O.O.F.

He was married in Shelby county December 11, 1856 and was the father of

Alice CRODDY, both of this county. His first wife died in 1867, and he
was married February 11, 1869, to Mary Heaton, who died ten years ago.
At the time of his death he was supervisor of the road district in
which he lived. Jake FISHER was well known the county over and his
death will occasion no little surpise to his numerous friends. Services
