Lawrence H. Fisher

    Lawrence H. Fisher, a native of Owen Township, Warrick County, Indiana, was born June 4, 1836, and is one in a family of twelve children born to James M. and Sarah V. (Robinson) Fisher, who were natives respectively of Kentucky and North Carolina. The father settled in Owen Township, this county, as early as 1824, and by a long life of usefulness was honored and respected by all who knew him. He died January 26, 1854.

    The subject of this sketch was reared to manhood in his native township and Arkansas, and in youth secured only a limited education. In 1842 his parents moved to Arkansas, remaining there eleven years, when they returned to Indiana. February 8, 1865, he was united in wedlock with Theodocia Condict, who was born December 17, 1844, in Daviess County, Kentucky, a daughter of Peer and Elizabeth (Housley) Condict, who were among the earliest pioneers of the old Commonwealth. This lady was raised by her grandparents until thirteen years old, and from that time until her marriage was employed as a servant girl. To her union with Mr. Fisher eight children have been born, five of whom are yet living.

    Mr. Fisher is a Democrat, the owner of eighty acres of good land and a saw-mill, and he and wife are among the township's best citizens, and are members of the Baptist Church.
