AMOS FISHER, farmer, P. 0. New Antioch, born on the place where his parents, John and Hannah Fisher, still reside, April 1, 1846. The ancestral history is given in sketch of John Fisher. Our subject, who arrived at manhood, brought up on his father’s farm, was married, January 15, 1874, to Ruth Ann Terrell, born in Wayne Township, Clinton County, November 8, 1844, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Williams) Terrell, natives of Highland County, Ohio. The maternal grandparents were William and Phebe Williams, natives of North Carolina, but who became early settlers of Highland County, Ohio, and lived and died in that county. John and Elizabeth Terrell had seven children, six now survive — Hampton W., Ruth Ann, Phebe, Jane (wife of William Huff), David E., Mary Edna (wife of Wm D. Thompson), Flora A. (wife of Dennis Cook), and Pleasant M. (deceased was married to Alice Malone, and left one child, Hezzie). Mr. Fisher and wife have three children— Elver J., born April 30, 1875; Lena May, born January 11, 1878, and Amos Clyde, born June 29, 1880. Mr. Fisher, after his marriage, located on the place where he now lives, and has since resided. This place he purchased of his father, which was known as the Curtis farm; it now consists of 115 acres, of which eighty-five acres are in cultivation. Mr. Terrell and wife are members of the Society of Friends, as were their ancestors for several generations, and in integrity of character, are among the best citizens of the county.
