Mary Fisher, youngest daughter
of Jacob and Delilah Fisher, was born in Randolph County, Indiana, on what is
known as the old Fisher farm, July 17, 1856, departed this life at the home of
her son, Charlie Colyer, in Farmland, Indiana, on the evening of May 28, 1918,
aged 61 years, 10 months and 11 days.
Her childhood days were spent on the farm of her birth, where she grew to
womanhood, and was taught the many virtues necessary for success in life.
On January 6, 1883, she was happily united in marriage to John Colyer, who in the spring of 1895, while engaged at his work in a saw mill, met with an accident which later caused his death, which occurred Sunday, March 17, 1895, leaving her a widow with two small sons, Frank and Charlie, to care for as best she could, for almost seven years, when Frank, the eldest son, also met with an accident by accidentally shooting himself while out coon-hunting with a
neighbor boy, and after being removed to his home he peacefully passed away
before morning, December 2, 1901. Thus we see that life for her has not
been free from trials and grief.
Aunt Mary, as she was familiarly called, was noted for her kindness, as she possessed an affectionate way toward everyone, that showed at heart there was an under current of love and affection that you could not resist. In fact
to know her was to love her; and the writer has wondered if it wasn't by her
affectionate way that caused so many people to call her "Aunt Mary",
as people many years her senior, the middle aged, the children, and almost
everyone around where she previously lived, for many years before she moved to
Farmland, called her the above name.
Her last illness was of many weeks duration, yet she was only bedfast two weeks and two days; but her suffering was great most of the time after she no longer was able to be up, and she gradually grew worse until death came and peacefully
claimed her, leaving to mourn her departure one son, Charlie Colyer, his wife,
Mae; one grandson, three granddaughters, whom she loved, two brothers, David A.
and John R. Fisher; two sisters, Mrs. Sarah E. Winship of Ridgeville, Indiana,
and Mrs. Rebecca Mull of California, three brothers in law, two sister in law
and many nephews and nieces.
Weep not that her toils are over,
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant, we may rest as calmly
When our work like hers is done.
Is the prayer and the wish of the writer.
Grace S. Fisher,
Who loved her dearly.
Peace to her soul.
