William Oliver FISHER (1851->1930)

1G1. William Oliver Fisher was born on May 2, 1851, in Indiana. He married Mary F. Spray on January 12, 1873, in Sullivan County, Missouri.^{[Mar 1873]} They had three children:

1G11.	Lurana Fisher	Dec 1873	10 Mar 1933	(59)
1G12.	Charles Alfred Fisher	20 May 1877	8 Dec 1944	(67)
1G13.	Clara M. Fisher	13 Sep 1887	2 Jul 1973	(85)

William and Mary were wed by A. C. Greer, Minister of the Gospel.^{[Mar 1873]} Eleven days after their marriage, William's youger sister Sarah married Mary's elder brother George Washington Spray. They were also married by A. C. Greer.

The Fishers and the Sprays briefly moved northwest to the northeast portion of Wyoming Territory in the late 1870s. They were enumerated together "North of the North Platte River," which had originally been recorded as Albany County but was aftward updated as Crook County. Crook County, in the northeast corner of Wyoming, was formed from portions of Albany and Laramie Counties on December 8, 1875, but was later whittled down to its modern boundaries by ceding Weston County (1890) and Campbell County (1911). The Fishers and the Sprays were recoreded as "farmers and emigrants." Mary and George's widowed mother, Margaret E. (Page Spray) Yearwood, lived with George.^{[Cen 1880]}

The Sprays (and perhaps the Fishers) returned to Missouri by the birth of a son in 1881. Daughter Clara was born in Missouri in 1887.^{[Cen 1900]}

The Fishers and the Sprays settled in Benton Township, Polk County, Missouri, about 200 miles south of Morris Township, by 1899. William farmed there and Mary's widowed mother Margaret E. (Page Spray) Yearwood lived with them.^{[Cen 1900]}

Mary F. (Spray) Fisher apparently died between 1900^{[Cen 1900]} and 1905. She would have been in her mid-40s.

William remarried to Nancy Ellen (Lark) Morris, the widow of Zachariah Morris (1850-1890), on June 15, 1905, in Polk County. She had been married to William's brother-in-law, George, in 1900. It is not yet clear whether George died or that he and Nancy separated. William, Nancy, and the youngest of her seven children, Henry Morris, lived together in Benton Township. William farmed and Henry was a farm day laborer.^{[Cen 1910]}

William and Nancy continued to live in Benton Township through at least 1920^{[Cen 1920]}

William and Nancy apparently separated by 1930 when he had moved in with his widowed daughter Lurana (Fisher) Williams at 201 East 5th Street just south of the state capital in Carson City, Ormsby County, Nevada. William was recorded as a "widower" but Nancy lived elsewhere.^{[Cen 1930]}

Nancy Ellen (Lark Morris) Fisher died on August 4, 1934, at the age of 76. She was buried with her son Willis C. Morris (1882–1908) at Mount Zion Cemetery in Pleasant Hill Township, Sullivan County. She was joined four years later by aforesaid son Henry Morris (1889–1937). The name on her headstone reads "Nancy E. Morris."^[Grave]

Mary E. (FISHER TAYLOR) LAYTON^Δ (1853->1910)

1G2. Mary E. Fisher^Δ was reportedly born on November 4, 1853, in Iowa.^{[Cen 1860]} Her family moved to Nebraska Territory and Missouri. She married William E. Taylor in Lane County, Oregon, on November 12, 1874, and had three children:

1G21.	George Elmer Taylor	19 May 1873	3 Jul 1933	(60)
1G22.	Grace May TaylorΔ	6 May (1875)	16 Jul 1950	(75)
1G23.	Arley Jackson Taylor	12 Oct (1875)	4 Jan 1945	(69)

Mary and William obtained a marriage license on November 7, 1854, with an affidavit from Marion F. Taylor, who attested that they were 18 and 21 years of age. T. M. Martin, Minister of the Gospel, performed the wedding at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Regis Pepiot (1823-1894) in Lane County.^{[Mar 1874]} Pepiot and Martin both resided in Camp Creek Township near Eugene.

Son George was reportedly born in Salem, Marion County, Oregon.^{[Dth 1933]}

The Taylor family has not been found in the 1880 or 1900 censuses, but Mary remarried to Francis "Frank" M. Layton sometime during that time frame. He was a divorcée with six children who divorced sometime before 1880.

Mary likely moved to Lincoln County, Washington, by 1897, when daughter Grace married and started her family in Sprague. By 1900, the Laytons moved east to Rock Creek Precinct, in neighboring Whitman County, where Mary and Frank owned a farm next to daughter Grace and her family. They had a 17-year-old servant, William Root, living with them and working as a farm laborer.^{[Cen 1900]}

Francis M. Layton died on August 22, 1909, in Rosalia, Whitman County, Washington, at the age of 64. He was buried with Mary's father in Riggs Cemetery in Rosalia.^[Grave]

After Frank's death, Mary lived with her daughter Grace (Taylor) Maxey, sons Arley J. and George E. Taylor, and their families in Rock Lake Township, Spokane County, Washington, in 1910. Mary was recorded to be a farmer; her son-in-law Henry W. Maxey and son Arley J. were both farm laborers who worked out; and son George E. worked odd jobs.^{[Cen 1910]}

Sarah M. (FISHER) SPRAY (1856-1899)

George was previously married to Nancy A. Peck (1845-1870) who died after six years of marriage.

Sarah and George were wed by A. C. Greer, Minister of the Gospel^{[Mar 1873]}, who had also married siblings William and Mary.

The Sprays and the Fishers briefly moved northwest to the northeast portion of Wyoming Territory in the late 1870s. They were enumerated together "North of the North Platte River," which had originally been recorded as Albany County but was aftward updated as Crook County. Crook County, in the northeast corner of Wyoming, was formed from portions of Albany and Laramie Counties on December 8, 1875, but was later whittled down to its modern boundaries by ceding Weston County (1890) and Campbell County (1911). The Sprays and the Fishers were recorded as "farmers and emigrants." George's widowed mother, Margaret E. (Page Spray) Yearwood, lived with them.^{[Cen 1880]}

The Sprays (and perhaps the Fishers) returned to Missouri by the birth of son Henry in 1881. Two more children were born in Missouri before the family moved northwest to Palouse, Whitman County, Washington, around 1888. Their last two children were born there, but in 1899 they returned to Missouri again, this time to Polk County, about 200 miles south of Morris Township.

Sarah M. (Fisher) Spray died on November 26, 1899, in Missouri, at the age of 43. She was buried at Reed Cemetery south of Halfway, in Polk County.^[Grave]

George remarried to Nancy Ellen (Lark) Morris, the widow of Zachariah Morris (1850-1890), in early 1900. The youngest of their seven children, 10-year-old son Henry Morris, joined the blended family in Benton Township, Polk County, Missouri. George and his three youngest teenaged boys farmed there. Eldest son Arthur and his family were enumerated two households before. Sister Mary, her Fisher family, and mother Margaret were enumerated on the subsquent page in Benton Township.^{[Cen 1900]}

Records of George after 1900 have not been found. One researcher believes he died before 1910 and another holds that he died on October 31, 1922.

Nancy went on to marry George's aforesaid brother-in-law William O. Fisher on June 15, 1905, in Polk County.

George Thomas FISHER (1858-1940)

There they homesteaded and built a sod house, where they lived through 1899 and the birth of daughter Cora. Son William Harrison is reported to have been born back in Gage County^[Hobson], perhaps at William's parents place. Come 1900, the Fishers returned to the Gage and Pawnee County area where they were renting a farm in Plum Creek Precinct, Pawnee County, just a couple miles east of Liberty. The family was complete with their seven children at the time, ages 10 months to 15, and all attended school except for youngest daughter Cora and eldest son Freddie, who was working full time as a farm hand at the age of 13.^{[Cen 1900]}

The family stayed in the Gage/Pawnee area through the birth of Clarence in 1901 and then returned west to Frontier County by the birth of Goldie in 1907.^[Hobson] In 1910, the family was enumerated in Knowles Precinct, Frontier County, Nebraska. There William mortgaged a farm and worked it with son William Harrison, then age 15. Of the four children at the time, three of whom were school aged, only Clarence, age 9, attended school.^{[Cen 1910]} William and Joan remained in Freedom (later identified as Stockville) through at least 1940.^{[Cen 1920-1940]}
