Many of our readers will be pained when they hear of the death of Joseph F. Fisher of Red Oak. He died at his home in that city, Tuesday morning aged 55 years. It seems hard to realize that the busy, bustling, cheerful, big hearted Joe Fisher was gone. The place will not look natural without him. With industry and energy enough for a half dozen ordinary men, with is hearty interest in all public enterprise and schemes for the improvement of his town of his town and the good of his fellow man with his close attention to the demands of social life, he was a citizen whose place it will be difficult to fill. He had build up from humble beginnings, a large business which made itself known and felt far and wide, and attracted attention to the town, by the thrift and energy of the man who conducted it so successfully; but in the midst of his numerous duties, he always had time to stop and chat with a friend or go to an entertainment, or engage with enthusiasm i some scheme of social enjoyment with his neighbors. As a man, a friend, a citizen, we will all mourn the depatrue of J. P. Fisher and say that his loss will be severely felt in his community.
