Earl Fisher Found Dead
Earl A. Fisher, 65, R. R. 1, Needham, was found dead at his home in Camp Joy around 4:30 p.m. Sunday by Deputy Sheriff Thomas Theobald and a neighbor, John Eickleberry.
Eickleberry called sheriff officers when he learned that Mr. Fisher had severely lacerated himself across the hand twice, apparently with a razor blade, earlier in the afternoon. The victim's sister, Mrs. William C. Woods, told officers she had been at the home about an hour earlier and that she had bandaged his hand where he had cut himself.
County Coroner Dr. Paul Inlow said Mr. Fisher apparently died due to severe bleeding and that death was self-inflicted. Mr. Fisher had been ill since sustaining a fractured hip Aug. 14 in a fall at the Greenwood Locker Plant, where he was employed.
Born in Shelby County July 7, 1905, he was the son of John B. and Katherine (Minster) Fisher. Surviving are three sister, Mrs. Ed (Mary) Braunagel of near Rays Crossing, Mrs. William C. (Frieda) Woods, Franklin, and Mrs. Charles W. (Eileen) Mann, Whiteland. A sister and three brothers preceded in death.
Services will be Wednesday at 2:00 p. m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, with the Rev. Bernard Burgert officiating. The local Eagles Lodge, of which Mr. Fisher was a member, will conduct graveside rites at St. Joseph Cemetery.
Friends may call after 4:00. (Obit: Shelbyville News, Oct. 26, 1970)
