farm. In 1851 Maj. Fisher purchased
the "“"Auchentoriie’’ farm, residence
of the late Gen. George Buchanan, and
belonging to the family of Governor
M’Kean. The Major made many im-
provements at Penn Hall that gave
the village its life. He was one of the
founders of the academy. He also paid
for a scholarship in Franklin and Mar-
shall College, for the benefit of Centre
County students, and was a director of
the College,
He held the appointment of post-
master of the place since President
Pierce's sdministration, a period of 42
years ; he was also a charter member of
the Farmer's Mutual
Co. of Centre Co., and served continu-
ously as one of its directors,
He was identified with the military
organizations of the valley. Of the
Marion Infantry he became lieutenant
and then captain, In 1852 he was
elected PT inspector of the Third
Brigade 14th Div., serving until 1850,
He never was a seeker after office, but
took pleasure in strictly confining him-
self to business. He was an active
and influential Democrat,
He was a devoted member of the
Reformed church and consistent with
its teachings, apd most liberal in its
support. A Kind neighbor and high-
minded citizen he will be missed in
that community.
Maj. Fisher was married in 1854, to
Miss Sarah L. Weaver, only daughter
of the late George Weaver, of Haines
township, and surrounded by a happy
