Cecelia was possibly born in Sulz, Russia. She immigrated to America along with her husband Joseph and 5 children arriving in New York on Jun 22, 1892. Tragically Cecelia died in August of 1892, possibly due to a flu epidemic, along with her two young sons, Antonious and Nikolaus.
Cecelia's husband, Joseph Fischer died 8 months later on April 1, 1893, in a train accident leaving his remaining young children Albertina, Michael and Peter Fischer as orphans.
According to my grandmother Francis Fischer Schollmeyer, Joseph, Cecelia, Nikolaus and Antonious Fischer are buried in Saint Patrick's Church Cemetery, 310 2nd Street West Dickinson, ND 58601, 701-483-6700. The family story is the original gravesite markers were wooden crosses that have since rotted away. Their names are not recorded on the City of Dickinson Cemetery Database and the cemetery office has no record of them.
