Mrs. Hannah Fisher.

Last Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Geo. Laird, occurred the death of Mrs. Hannah Fisher, at the ripe old age of 89 years.

Hannah Foster was born May 10, 1810, at City Hill, Yates county N.Y., and died July 14, 1899. She was united in marriage to Ira Fisher, of Barrington, N.Y., in 1837. Three children came to bless their union, Lydia Ann (Mrs. Geo. Laird), Clarissa B., who departed this life Sept. 25, 1864, and William Henry, who died a soldier in the Union Army during the war of the rebellion.

Mr. and Mrs. Fisher lived in Yates and Steuben counties, N.Y. until 1853 when they moved from Hammondport to Ionia, Mich. In 1860 they came to Bradford, Iowa, where they continued to reside until the death of Mr. Fisher, June 1, 1880, at the age of 79 years. Since then, Mrs. Fisher has lived with her daughter, Mrs. George Laird, of this city, the only child left to care for ther through all these years of affliction, and who now mourns the loss of a mother endeared by many years of loving association.

Mrs. Fisher has been in total darkness since 1881, being entirely blind, and of late years quite deaf and otherwise afflicted. She professed faith in Christ at an early age and ever lived consistent with her faith, being amember of the Congregational church at the time of her death. She was unusually bright and cheerful for one of her age and afflictions, and her life has always been a blessing to those around her as she was always trying to do something for and encourage all who were in trouble and always made life pleasant for those with whom she came in contact.

The funeral services were held at the home and were conducted by Rev. Barrett, of the Congregational church. The remains were laid to their last rest in Greenwood cemetery.
