Notes:

The death certificate of Joseph Fisher states that his father Frank Fisher was born in Kora, Germany. (The writing is very legible.)

After the village of Fulda, Ohio was laid out in the mid 1850s, Francis Fisher bought a lot and erected the first house. He ran a saloon, which his wife continuted after his death. The family was also engaged in brewing.

In 1860, 30 year old brewer Francis Fisher lived in Enoch Twp., Noble Co., Ohio with his wife Margaret and their three young children, Margaret (3), Elizabeth (2), and John (1). Neighboring families in the census were Anton Kress and Maurice Hohman.

At the time of the 1870 census, Francis Fisher (42) was still living in Enoch Twp. with his wife Margaret (33) and children Elizabeth (11), John (10), Ferdinand (8), Kathrina (6), Joseph (4), and Barbara (1). Francis Fisher's occupation was "brewer and cooper." (A cooper is a barrel-maker.) Francis was born in Bavaria, his wife in Virginia and the children in Ohio. The oldest three children attended school. The family that preceded the Fisher household in the census was that of Eve Clever [Kluber]. The next dwelling in the census was vacant, followed by 23 year old shoemaker August Dimmerling, who lived alone.

In 1910, the census taker who enumerated the household of Francis Fisher's son John appears to have misunderstood the census directions. Although both John Fisher his wife Mary were born in Ohio, he wrote "1847." 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. It appears that the immigration information refers to the householders' parents.
