DAVID FISHER was born in Fayette County, Penn., November 7, 1812, and is one of the fifteen children born to John and Nancy (Fraser) Fisher, both natives of Pennsylvania, and of German and Scotch descent. John Fisher was a farmer and a blacksmith, and he died, in 1853, a strict member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. David Fisher, at the age of sixteen, began the blacksmith trade with his father and brother, and followed the business most of the time until he was forty-seven years old. In the spring of 1836, he came to this county, where he entered 240 acres of land for himself and 160 acres for his brother in Big Creek and Honey Creek Townships. He returned to Pennsylvania the same summer, accomplishing the entire journey both ways on horseback. In 1850, he bought land in Western Virginia, and farmed for three years; then returned to Pennsylvania and engaged in mining for several years. In 1859, he returned to this township and settled on his land. He was married, July 7, 1839, to Sarah J. Huston, a native of Fayette County, Penn., and to this marriage were born ten ,children, of whom only two are dead- John C., member of Company K, Twentieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, who was killed at Cold Harbor, Va., after having served over three years; and Joseph, of Company D, Twelfth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, who died in hospital in Scottsboro, Ala., January 7, 1864. Two other sons also served in the army- Jacob, in the One Hundred and Sixteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry., and Henry, in the One Hundred and Fiftieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. Mr. Fisher is a Democrat, a believer in the Methodist Episcopal faith, but is not a member of the church.
