DEATH OF MISS FISHER IS SHOCK TO COMMUNITY
Had resided for many years in local district.
[Welland Tribune December 28, 1943]
Fonthill, Dec. 28-The community was shocked on Friday morning to learn of the death of Miss Julia Fisher. A few years ago, Miss Fisher had a severe illness resulting in a heart condition, but was in her usual health until a few weeks ago when she was taken ill with influenza, from which she failed to rally.
Miss Fisher was living in her new home on Maple avenue which she completed a year ago and which she shared with her sister, Mrs George Davidson. She was born in Rochester, N.Y. daughter of the late Charles and Sarah Fisher, coming to this country with her parents when about ten years of age. She had lived in this community practically all her life and a host of friends in the vicinity. For many years she was employed on the office staff of the Welland Registry Office and later spent a number of years in the
office of the Martin Dairy, Welland.
Surviving are a brother, Archie Fisher of St Williams and two sisters, Mrs T. Cooney of Tonawanda, N.Y and Mrs George Davidson of the village. The late Mrs William Barron was also a sister.
The funeral of the late Miss Fisher took place on Monday afternoon at the Fonthill United church, with the pastor, Rev. W.A. Monteith officiating at the church and the graveside. Mr Monteith spoke of the kindness of the late Miss Fisher in caring for her sister who has been ill for the past year. Mrs Albert Dean played the organ during the service, and Mrs S.B. Brush sang “The Beautiful Garden of Prayer” with Mrs Dean accompanist.
Many lovely flowers paid silent tribute to the affection of friends and relatives.
Interment was made in the Fonthill cemetery. The pallbearers were Roy Barron, Ernest Moldon, David Fisher, Fred Klager, Harry Haist and C.W. Crowe.
