John was a shoemaker who answered the call to serve in the Civil War. He served with the 122nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. John died of consumption four years after he returned home leaving a widow and six children.
The date of birth on the memorial may be incorrect as the spelling of his name surely is. Most, if not all, records list his last name as Fisher. His children are known as Fischer. Likely where the change occurred.
Several military and census records indicate a birth year of 1837.
