William J. Fisher, aged 70 years, died Tuesday evening at 5:20 o’clock at his home in Highland. He had been ill for about a year and death came as a relief to his suffering. The funeral will occur this afternoon at 1:30 o’clock from the family residence, interment at Oak Hill Cemetery. The services will be conducted by Rev. R. D. Trick, of the Baptist Church, of which denomination Mr. Fisher was a consistent member.  Mr. Fisher was born in Kentucky and there grew to manhood. He came to this state and county in 1853 and settled on a farm near Whitesville, operating it with marked success. Something over ten years ago Mr. Fisher removed to this city and settled in Highland with his family residing there until the time of his death.  He leaves a wife and six children. The sons are Joe E. Fisher, of this city, Mont B. Fisher, of Frankfort, and James Fisher, of Chicago. The daughters are Mrs. J. A. Armstrong, of Whitesville, Mrs. George Anderson, of this city, and Mrs. E. G. Horton, of Pittsburg, Penn. One daughter, the first wife of Ross Cohoon, is dead.  Mr. Fisher was a splendid citizen and exemplified in his life the many virtues which constitute the good neighbor and abiding Christian. – thanks to S for this one
