Notes for Mary Margaret BREISCH and William S. FISHER

Note 1.8A: History of Columbia and Montour Counties Pennsylvania, Battle, 1887 pg. 506 WILLIAM S. FISHER, farmer, P. O. Mainville, was born in what is now Maine Township, Columbia County, March 7, 1836. His parents, John and Judie (KIEFER) FISHER, were born in Berks County, where they were also married. They later removed to Columbia County where they passed the remainder of their lives. About 1851, while coming back from Mainville with a load of planks, etc., the father, while attempting to guide his four-horse team, was run over by a wheel of the wagon and killed. His widow died on the 15th of March, 1885, and both are buried in FISHER's Church Cemetery. William S. was reared in Columbia County and has always made it his home. He remained at work with his father until the latter's death, after which he remained at home one year. He then worked on the farm, etc., until arriving at the age of twenty-five, when he bought a piece of land and settled down to farming for himself. In the meantime he had commenced his education in the common school of his district; then attended Dickinson Seminary, Williamsport, one term, and later one term at Millville Seminary. He then taught school five terms before commencing farming and after that two terms more. He married, in this county, in February, 1861, Miss Mary Margaret BREISCH, a native of Columbia County and a daughter of George and Rebecca (WAHL) BREISCH. Her father is dead and is buried at Catawissa, where her mother still resides. Mr. and Mrs. FISHER are the parents of ten children: George Alpheus (a teacher in the common schools for the past three years), Horace M. (a stenographer and telegrapher in the employ of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, at Richmond, Va.), Fannie R. (wife of William C. STEVENSON, who is engaged in manufacturing woolen goods at Nescopeck), John L., Sarah Margaret, Pearles J., Emerson T., Irene E., William Claude and Bertha Maude. Mr. and Mrs. FISHER and family are members of the Lutheran Church. Mr. FISHER now has 109 acres of land, of which about 100 are in cultivation. He has served as school and election officer, and has held other township offices. He is clerk of the Union Immanuel Lutheran Church, and has been for over twenty years, having been appointed by Rev. W. J. EYER, father of Mr. EYER of Catawissa. Mr. FISHER's brother, Daniel, who lives at Limestone, was clerk of the church a number of years previous to that time.

Notes for Isabelle SHUMAN and Alfred HOWER

Note1.10.3: History of Columbia and Montour Counties Pennsylvania, Battle, 1887 Catawissa Township pg. 403 ALFRED HOWER, teacher, P. O. Catawissa, was born in Numidia, Penn., November 10, 1851, a son of Michael and Catherine (BACHMAN) HOWER, natives of Pennsylvania and of German descent. His great-grandfather settled in Catawissa about the latter part of the eighteenth century and was one of the first settlers in this part of the country. He owned about 1,000 acres and lived and died here. Our subject's grandfather Sebastian was reared on the homestead, and while young learned the carpenter's trade, but later bought a farm near Slabtown in Locust Township, where he lived until his death which occurred in 1860. Our subject's father was reared near Slabtown, but had lived in the coal regions a part of this time. He moved to Numidia, where he lived until his death in 1882. He was a blacksmith, which trade he followed the most of his life; also carried on farming to some extent. At the age of eighteen our subject learned the carpenter's trade at Shamokin, Penn., where he worked about a year. Previous to learning this trade he had taught two terms of school, and after completing his apprenticeship, again taught in the winter and went to school in the summer. He attended Bloomsburg Normal School, Greenwood's Seminary and Lowell's Commercial College at Binghampton, and graduated in 1874. In the fall of 1877 he moved to Catawissa, and resided here four years, teaching school. In 1882 he moved to Orangeville where he lived two years, having the principalship of the graded school. In the spring of 1884 he moved back to Catawissa where he has since lived, engaged in teaching in the winter and working at this trade in the summer. He owns two houses and lots, and is at present engaged in building a two-story frame house. He married, December 4, 1877, Isabella, daughter of John T. and Catherine (BREISCH) SHUMAN. MR. and Mrs. HOWER are the parents of four children: John S., Lillian C, Laura Jennie and Warren A. Mr. and Mrs. HOWER are members of the Lutheran Church.
