Notes on Family History from the memory of granddaughter, Stella Fisher (Mrs. J. Stewart Burgess) July 1962
"Harriet Day Fisher (Mrs. Otis) had sisters who became Mrs. French and Mrs. Holt (husbands graduates of Amherst), and They, with other Days, are buried in the cemetery at Westfield, Mass. Mrs. Harry Arnold Day, in 1928, hired a bus to take descendents in the N. Y. area, and Uncle Albert Judson Fisher (ex alderman from Chicago) to see the Westfield burial ground, the historic graves of the first five who founded Hartford, Conn. The historic Day House in West Springfield was also a main attraction of the trip. This house was much injured by the floods of the Conn. River in 1936.
To return to Otis Fisher: he had a daughter by his first wife, later Cornelia Fisher Gunn. Her two brothers were each named for early missionary heroes; one was Eugene Kincaid - and I cannot recall the second. The first son by the second wife - Charles Henry Day Fisher - born Nov. 8th, 1848 in Mt. Palatine, Ill., did, however carry out his father's hopes of having a missionary in the family. Graduate of Chicago University (much later University of Chicago) 1874, Chicago Baptist Seminary 1877; pastor in Geneseo, Ill, Duluth, Minn., went as missionary in 1882, first to Madras, India, Via Europe, then, because of a cable, on to Japan, where he served until his death in 1920. Otis and Harriet Fisher had Albert Judson (again a missionary name!), who in 1890 married Ada Ashard of Frech (sic) descent; childless. Then, a daughter Harriet who became Mrs. Jayne in 1921."
