Cyrus "Coon" G Fisher
C. G. FISHER PASSES AWAY
At five o'clock Tuesday evening death relieved Mr. Fisher, following a lingering sickness of many weeks, and he was at rest. Everything was done for him that loving hands and medical skill
could do, but he gradually became weaker, quietly passing away as one asleep. Mr. Fisher was a friend to everyone and the news of his death was saddening to all. It was rarely that you
found him without a cheery word and a smile , always looking for the interest of comfort to others. Among the traveling men, who made his popular hostelry , he was a general favorite. "Coon"
will be greatly missed in Hamburg as he took a more or less active part in the business, social, and political life of this town.
Cyrus G Fisher was born in Lineville, Iowa, November 6, 1857, living there for thirty years, when he moved to Fremont County, near Hamburg, and this has been his home since, with the
exception of ten years spent in Red Oak. In 1903 he returned from Red Oak and took charge of the Lindell Hotel, which he conducted until 1906 when he bought the Julien Hotel. He was
married to Miss Martha Jane Roberts, in Lineville, November 14, 1878. To this union four children were born; Grace dying in infancy, Jesse C Fisher of St. Joe, Missouri, Verna Fisher
and Mrs. L. H. Carder of this place. The following brothers and sisters survive him; A. J. of this place, J. A. of Leon, Mrs. Laura Huff of Gainsville, Mrs. A. A. Dudley of Larimer,
and Miss Sadie Fisher of Manning. Those who attended his funeral from far away, aside from brothers and sisters were: Mrs. George Leekley, Arkansas City, Kansas, Mrs. John Roberts
and Mr. and Mrs. Earle Heasler of Red Oak. Mr. Fisher was a member of the IOOF, Ben Hur Yeoman, K & L of Security, and the M. E. Church which the membership he held in Red Oak.
The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. Church Friday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. A. A. Wallburn and interment was made in the Hamburg cemetery. The sympathy of the
entire community goes out to the widow, children, and other relatives in this sad hour.
