Biography
Portrait and Biographical Record of the Sixth Congressional District, Maryland, 1898
George C. Fisher is one of the well-known and highly respected citizens of Point of Rocks, Frederick County. He has made his home here for about sixteen years and has been active in everything that concerned the improvement and development of the place. Having literally been "the architect of his own fortune" he is eminently deserving of the prosperity which in now his portion.
Born in 1838, our subject is the youngest son of Thomas Fisher, who was born, reared to manhood and spent his whole life in Montgomery County, Md. He came from one of the old families of that section, and followed agricultural pursuits. He died when in the prime of life, aged forty-five years. His wife, Elizabeth, was a daughter of Solomon and Susan Viers, also of Montgomery County, and farmers by occupation.
Mr. Fisher was summoned to the silent land in 1877, when threescore and ten years of age. Of her four sons, only the subject of this article survives. Martin Thomas, the eldest, was a farmer on Montgomery County, and died in March, 1890. Solomon died when young and John Napoleon at the age of fourteen years.
The birthplace of G. C. Fisher is situated in the neighborhood of Poolesville, Montgomery County, Md. The father dying when George C. was a small boy, the latter in time aided in the management of the old homestead, and was of great assistance to his widowed mother in every way. His educational privileges were rather limited, though he attended the parochial schools of the district for several years during a portion of each year. Yielding to his mother's wishes the young man remained at home until he was twenty-seven years old. He then concluded that he could do much better financially for her and for himself if he embarked in the commercial world. Entering the grain business he was quite successful in that direction, and later he engaged in merchandising at Edwards' Ferry, near his old home, with success. Then, for a few years he resumed farming upon a place which he had purchased. In 1881 he came to Point of Rocks, and for the next three years was in the grain business in connection with Captain Mercier. Then, for twelve years he kept the hotel here to the satisfaction of his patrons and the general public, and though he still owns the property he has leased it for four years past. In view of the fact that he was greatly handicapped when he started out in life by his father's death and the cared that in consequence devolved upon his youthful shoulders, the success that he has won is the more commendable. Genial and affable in manner, he readily makes friends of all, and once having made a friend he always retains him. In politics he is affiliated with the Democratic party, but has always declined public office.
In 1870, Mr. Fisher married Sarah Agnes Spates, a well-educated, cultured lady, whose father, George W. Spates, is a rich farmer of Montgomery County. The two sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher are Albert B., a telegraph operator of Brunswick, this county, and Thomas Spates, who married a Miss Allnutt, and is the Baltimore & Ohio agent at Tuscarora, Frederick County. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher have a very pleasant home here and are always most charming hosts. They are identified with the Catholic Church.
