Narrative

Note: The Marriages of John R. Fisher

My initial research into John showed some indication that he had lived with his parents until very late in life, but also that he was married twice. To try and determine whether he had children, along with better understanding te circumstances that led to such late-in-life marriages, I researched further into his wives' histories.

His first wife, Elizabeth Klein, was one of the younger children born to German-born John Klein and Ohio-born Ann Mary (or Mary Ann) Friedly. From all appearances, she never left her parents' home, instead living with the two of them (and later, with her widowered father) well into her forties. Her father died in late November 1921, and less than five months later, Elizabeth married John Fisher (himself in his mid-fifties at that time). The two of them remained married until her death in June of 1932.

Eight months after the death of his first wife, John remarried to Anna Margaret Chilcote, another woman who had not been previously married. Anna Margaret lived with her parents through her father's death in 1900 and her mother's death in 1918, and then lived alone until she and John married in February 1933. The two of them would remain married until John's death in 1945.

John, Elizabeth, and Anna Margaret are all three buried in Woodland Cemetery in Van Wert, Van Wert Cty, Ohio.

John appears to have had no children of his own, though his niece and nephew (born to his younger sister Elizabeth) did live with him for some time.
