Fisher - Flora Mitchell
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 11 May 1900
The many friends of Mrs. Joe E. Fisher were Thursday surprised and pained to learn of her death which took place Thursday morning at 3 o’clock. Mrs. Fisher had not been in good health since she received a stroke of paralysis about eighteen months ago, but she seemed to be slowly improving and was able to get about her home and to attend church. Wednesday, while at the supper table, she was suddenly taken with a convulsion and continued to grow weaker until death came. The funeral will take place at the family residence on East Wabash Avenue on Saturday afternoon at two o’clock. The services will be conducted by Rev. S. W. Goss, interment at Oak Hill.
Mrs. Fisher was born June 22, 1854, at Waveland, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Mitchell. Her father died when she was quite small and the family came to Crawfordsville to reside. She was graduated from the schools here and afterwards attended school in Terre Haute, preparing herself for teaching. She then took a position in the Crawfordsville schools and continued for a number of years one of the most popular and efficient teachers ever in Crawfordsville. In May, 1892, she was married to Mr. J. E. Fisher, who survives her. Her mother, Mrs. Epperson, still lives as do her brother, John Mitchell, of Marion, and her sister, Mrs. O. H. Jones, of this city. Mrs. Fisher was a life long member of the First M. E. Church, and was a woman whose acquaintance and friendship was lovingly cherished by a wide circle. In her home and in the church her life was a bright example.- thanks so very much to "S" and all her wonderful work on the obituary pages on this site !!!
