The following year his family moved north, just over the state line, to Pawnee Territory, Nebraska, and later over the Gage County line, a mile east of Liberty, Nebraska.

They had ten children together:

The Fisher family farmed near Liberty, Gage County, Nebraska, until about 1886 when they went with five other families by covered wagon about 230 miles west to the Freedom area in Frontier County, Nebraska. 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]}

“The family enjoyed playing ball, pitching horse shoes, dancing, box suppers, and singing. Clarence and Elmer played the violin, guitar, and banjo. They played for Saturday night dances in the Freedom Grange Hall. They also played for dances in the sod house they lived in. Another thing they enjoyed were the good dinners Joan cooked.”^[Hobson]
