"Death of Mrs Fisher"
-On Sunday afternoon last, at 3 o'clock, Mrs Drusila Fisher, the aged mother of Mrs Evaline Farnsworth passed away, after a long season of failing health incident to extreme age. Mrs Fisher was born in Bethany, Brook county, Va, September 10, 1821, being 88 years, ten months, and seven days old at the time of her death. July [27th is written over the printed date], 1840; she was married to George W Fisher. To this union was born two sons and three daughters. The two sons and one daughter had preceded her to the other shore and her husdand [sic] went before her thirty eight years ago. A number of years ago she came to Douglass to reside with the family of Dr Taylor, Mrs Taylor being her daughter. With them she removed to Carthage, Missouri, and resided there until after the death of Mrs Taylor, and then came to Douglass, and has been with her sole surviving child, Mrs Farnsworth, until death came to take her forward. At the age of 20 she made profession of faith in Christ, and lived the Christian life for the period of a long life time. For some months her health had been failing. First a dangerous condition of the heart afflicted her. Then she suffered a stroke of paralysis. Last Thursday she sustained a second stroke from which she never rallied. The funeral was held from the house, Monday afternoon, conducted by Neal Overman, minister of the Christian church, and the body was laid to rest in the Douglass cemetery. She leaves one daughter, 16 grandchildren, thirty-two great grandchildren, and three of the fourth generation. She also leaves the memory and example of a life of industry and faithful duty.
