FISHER, Frederick

History of Northern Wisconsin. Chicago: Western Historical, 1881, p 163

Frederick FISHER, lumber dealer, Alma [Buffalo County, Wisconsin], was born 
16 October 1835 in Germany. He came to America in 1841, and located with his 
parents in Maryland. In 1866 he came to Alma, and was employed for a number 
of years by Mrs. LANE [Margret, the wife of Frederick LANE, an Alma lumber 
dealer? Why does the biography say that Frederick FISHER was employed by 
Mrs. LANE instead of Mr. LANE? Was Frederick LANE deceased? Did Frederick 
FISHER manage a lumber business for Mrs. LANE and later go into the lumber 
business for himself?]

In 1864 Frederick FISHER married Jennie [Jane C.?] LITTLE, a native of 
Philadelphia [Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania]. Frederick is enumerated in 
the 1880 census of Alma, Buffalo County, Wisconsin: Frederick, age 
forty-four, lumber merchant, born in Germany (from his census age about 1836, 
which does not dispute the year of birth given in the biography) to parents 
also born in Germany; and his wife, Jane C. FISHER, age forty-four, born in 
Pennsylvania (about 1836) to a father born in Pennsylvania and a mother born 
in England. [Bracketed material added by submitter (who is not researching 
these surnames) to support and clarify information given in the biography and 
to raise questions.]
