John Wesley Fisher was born April 21, 1896 in St. Joseph, the son of Jacob Wesley and Hattie McCarty Fisher, and spent his entire life in that vicinity.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday from the Jeanes funeral home in St. Joseph with Dean W. H. Sperry, pastor of the St. Joseph Church of Christ, officiating, Interment will be made in Mt. Olive Cemetery, near Mayview.

The death of John Fisher came as one of the greatest shocks in years to the people of this community. He was a modest, unassuming man, quietly going about his daily affairs with a kind word for all he came in contact. We doubt if he had an enemy in the world. His first concern always, was his family and then his friends. He was a conscientious, hard working man and so far as the writer knows, and we have known him all his life, there were very few days of idleness during his entire life.

The Record joins with all in the sincerest sympathy to the family, relatives, and friends in this sad hour.

John Fisher's death was the first fatality at the Clifford-Jacobs Company.
