Also known as Frank John Fisher.
In 1880, 19 year old John Fisher lived with his widowed mother and younger siblings in the Villiage of Fulda, Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio. John attended school and worked as a farm laborer.
In 1884, Francis Fisher owned a saloon in Fulda.
The 1900 census contains an entry for 40 year old John Fisher (born Jan 1860) and his 49 year old wife Mary (born July 1850). The census indicates that the couple had been married for 13 years... i.e., 1887. These data all match the Fisher family described in "St. Mary's -- 150 Years -- Fulda OH" (Snider). The only discrepancy is that there are no children in the household in the 1900 census. The census also states that Mary Fisher had not given birth to any children. In 1900, John and Mary Fisher lived on a farm that they owned in Stock Twp., Noble County, OH. John's father was born in Germany, his mother in West Virginia. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to John Dimmerling and Henry Ritterbeck.
The same family appears in the 1910 census, with the addition of a 13 year old adopted daughter, Marie. They owned a farm in Stock Twp., Noble County, Ohio. Everyone in the household was born in Ohio. John's father and mother were born in Germany and West Virginia, respectively, and Mary's parents were natives of Prussia. The census taker appears to have misunderstood the census directions. Although both John and Mary were born in Ohio, he wrote "1847" in the "year of immigration column. He indicated that John was a naturalized citizen, but Mary was not a citizen. The census taker made this mistake for everyone on in the district whose parents were of foreign birth.
At the time of the 1920 census, Johnny Fisher (59) and his wife Mary A. (69) owned a farm in Stock Township (near Carlisle). Mary's parents were natives of Germany. There seems to have been some confusion about John's parents: The census taker first wrote that his father was born in Germany, but crossed that out and wrote Ohio. He initially wrote West Virginia for John's mother's place of birth, but scratched that out and changed it to Ohio. Neighboring farms in the census were those of Clarence Dimmerling and widow Catherine Crock.
In 1930, John Fisher (70) and his wife Mary A. (80) owned a farm in Stock Twp., Noble County, Ohio. Living with them was their 13 year old granddaughter, Lucy M. Ritterbeck. Lucy attended school and was the only member of the household who could read and write. According to the census, John and Mary were natives of Ohio. John's father and mother were born in Germany and West Virginia, respectively. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to Clarence Schott and Frank Warner.
John Fisher's obituary appeared in The Times Recorder (Zanesville, OH) newspaper on Nov. 28, 1946 JOHN FISHER, 87, CALLED BY DEATH CALDWELL, O. -- John fisher, 87, last remaining member
