Fisher, Edmund : 1838-1912

Edmond Fisher, of English parentage, son of John Fisher and Elizabeth (Scott) Fisher, was born at Boynton Falls, New Jersey, October 18, 1838, died in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, November 4, 1912.  

His parents moved to Sharon, Pennsylvania, when he was quite young, and there he obtained his education in public schools.  After completing his school years he began an apprenticeship at the trade of finisher at the steel works then operated by the old D. B. Oliver firm of Pittsburgh.

Mr. Fisher married, September 5, 1884, Mary E. Jones, born in Pittsburgh, July 17, 1855, daughter of Evan E. and Mary A. (Davis) Jones, of Pittsburgh.

Edmond was continuously connected with the iron and steel business, covering a period of over thirty years and in 1893, owing to failing eyesight, he retired from business, and for the succeeding years was not engaged in any line of activity.

In 1897 Mr. Fisher moved his residence to Jeannette, which was his home until his death, fifteen years later.  There he engaged in the real estate business in a conservative way, was elected first vice-president of the People's National Bank, and became well known as a man of sterling business qualities.  As first vice-president,  Edmond won high and honorable rank in financial circles, and was one of the influential men of the borough.

He was a man of quiet life and domestic tastes, finding his greatest enjoyment in the home circle.  He was a Democrat in politics, serving at one time as school director in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but having little taste for public life.

He attended Grace Reformed Church, Jeannette; Sharon Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons; and at one time belonged to the Order of Elks, No. 486, Jeannette.  Kindly and social in nature, upright and honorable in all his dealings, he was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends.
