DR.
C. M. FISHER. Among the people of Logan
County, as well as the surrounding counties, the name
that heads this sketch is by no means an unfamiliar one.
For many years he has been actively an successfully
occupied in the prosecution of his chosen profession,
and during this time his career as a practitioner and
thorough student of medicine won for him no less a
reputation than have his personal characteristics as a
citizen and neighbor.
His father, John H. Fisher, was born in Berks
County, Pa., on the 27th of November, 1805, and was
there reared to mature years, and learned the hatter's
trade, following that for a series of years in
Pennsylvania. He was married in the same county to
Miss Elizabeth Marshall, a native of Schuylkill
County, Pa., born on the 19th of August, 1807, and in
1834 came to Stark County, Ohio, where he remained until
1836. From there he moved to Logan County of that
State, located in rush Creek Township, and followed
farming. Here his death occurred on the 11th of
December, 1871, and he was followed to the grave by his
wife on the 29th of May, 1879. This worthy couple
had shared each other's joys and sorrows for a period of
over forty-five years, and had many warm friends, for
they were upright and honorable in every walk of life.
He was a member of the Disciples Church, and thee wife
was a member of the Presbyterian Church from childhood.
He was interested in educational affairs, holding the
office of School Director, and in politics, he upheld
the principles of the Democratic party. He and his
wife were buried side by side in New Salem cemetery,
this county.
Our subject's paternal grandfather, Henry Fisher,
was originally form Berks County, Pa., and followed
farming there until his death, when quite an aged man.
His father was a native of Germany, and left the land of
his birth for this country when a young man. He
settled in Pennsylvania, and there resided until his
death. The maternal grandfather of our subject,
Conrad Marshall, was a native of Schuylkill County,
Pa., born Dec. 17, 1772, and was a farmer. He came
to Ohio in 1834, settling in Zanesfield, Logan County,
and kept hotel until he retired from active life, his
death occurring on the 10th of February, 1857, when
eighty-five years of age. His father, John
Marshall, was a native of France, and came to
America at a period antedating the Revolutionary War.
He served in this war, and was one of the early settlers
of Pennsylvania.
Of the four sons born to his parents, Dr. C. M.
Fisher was second in order of birth. The
eldest child died in infancy; John M., another son, was
born in Logan County on the 31st of .January, 1842. and
is now a farmer of Hardin County, Ohio. Our
subject first saw the light of day in Logan County, Rush
Creek Township, Ohio, on the 16th of December. 1839. and
there grew to manhood. His first scholastics
training was in the log schoolhouse of early days, and
he remained in the same until sixteen years of age, when
he attended school at Bellefontaine for four years,
graduating from the institution of learning there.
Being possessed of a more than ordinary degree of
intelligence he began teaching at the age of eighteen
years, and when twenty years of age he began the study
of medicine with Dr. Cooper, of Bellefontaine.
After completing his course of reading with that
physician, he attended the Eclectic Medical College of
Cincinnati, Ohio, and graduated in 1862, subsequently
locating where he now resides, in Rushsylvania,
where he has a large and lucrative practice.
His marriage with Miss Mary Elizabeth Ansley
occurred in Logan County, Rush Creek Township, on the 3d
of March, 1863. She was born on the 5th of June,
1841, and was the third child and second daughter of
four children born to George and Deliverance
(Johnson) Ansley, natives of the Blue
Grass State, the father born on the 8th of November,
1807, and the mother on the 17th of April of the
following year. The parents moved to Ohio at an
early date, and both passed away here, the mother on the
25th of December, 1879, and the father on the 29th of
August, 1882. They were well known throughout
Logan County, and were universally respected.
Our subject and wife became the parents of five
children, two daughters and three sons; Frank A.,
born Jan. 31, 1864, and married Sept. 4, 1889, to
Miss Sarah E. Shaw, now resides in Rushsylvania;
Anna May, born May 31, 1867, is the wife of Lewis
Fawcett, of Rushsylvania, and has one son,
Marshall; George E., born Mar. 14, 1870; Mary E.,
born Dec. 25, 1872, is the wife of Horacio Cline,
of Belle Centre, Ohio; Allen Marshall, born Aug.
21, 1886, is at home.
Dr. Fisher is a member of the National Medical
Eclectic Association, and also a member of the Ohio
State Eclectic Medical Association. He is one of
the most prominent and successful physicians of the
county, as his many patients now living can testify.
He was made a Mason in 1864 at Belle Centre Lodge No.
347, and is a member of LaFayette Chapter, of
Bellefontaine, Ohio. He is also a member of Rush
Lodge No. 381, I. O. O. F., and is a charter member of
the same. He and Mrs. Fisher are
active workers in the Disciples Church, in which they
held membership, and he is a Democrat in politics.
He was a member of the Board of Education for a period
of twelve years, and has held other minor offices in the
township. In 1887, he was a candidate for
Representative on the Democratic ticket, and ran far
ahead of his ticket, but, on account of the overwhelming
majority of Republicans, was defeated. He was
elected Township Clerk on two occasions, and was a
member of the City Council at various times. He is
one of the best-informed and most prominent citizens of
the county, and is thoroughly qualified to hold almost
any position. He has many warm friend, and is
popular with all classes.
