435	A lot of conflicting info re Jan/John's birthdate/place. Baptism entry from Zdziarzec, Rzeszów, Poland for Johannes states he was baptized on 15 Dec 1889. The feels like the correct date as it is the oldest entry and lists his mother and father's name and address. The address, House No 62 is the same as for his later siblings Stanislaus and Anna. Ship passenger list entry for Jan states birthplace as Zarówka, Radomyśl, Galacia, Austria. Jan's WW I Draft registration states Sept 28 1888 birthplace as Redomeys , Austria, Poland. Redomeys should read Radomyśl which is the main city close to Zarówka. Galacia, Austria later became part of the Subcarpathian Vovodeship or PolandNote no other Jan/John Chmiel living in New Bedford/Fairhaven at this time. Jan's WW II draft registration card lists birthdate as 19 Dec 1890, Mielec, Poland. Can't be a different John Chmiel because the address on the WW II card matches the address in 1940 census for the family and there is only one John Chmiel living in Fairhaven/New Bedford at the time. Headstone lists birthdate as 1889 agreeing with baptismal record.	CHMIEL, John/Jan (I1448)
436	A note on findagrave.com states: "For almost 50 years his grave was unmarked, until his classmates from the high school class of 1939 purchased a marker as a memorial of one of their favorite people. A dedication of the marker and a memorial service was led by Pastor Don Oftedahl, Victory Baptist Church in Macomb, Illinois."	FISHER, Wayne Kenneth (I219)
437	A strange entry for Allen. Listed as a single farm hand, age 38, working for Allen Thomas. Allen was married to Sarah Fritts in 1880 and would have been almost 40 years old vs 38 years Wife Sarah is listed with their six children also living in Richmond on page 351C. Perhaps Allen's details were provided erroneously by Mr. Thomas	WARD, Allen (I656)
438	A weird entry. Clarissa left/divorced David McCabe sometime before 1896 when she married Leander Morgan in Jackson Co., OR. Clarissa/Clara is shown in the 1900 US Census living with Leander and her daughter (from David ) Gladys McCabe in Umatilla Co., OR. This 1905 census shows Clarissa back in Kansas living with her ex-husband D. L. (David) and son R. C. (Robert) McCabe who are listed at the bottom of the previous page.	HOSKINSON, Clarissa Ann (I1172)
439	Abel Fisher plot	FISHER Orville Benjamin (I217)
440	Abel Fisher, lumber inspector and foreman of the lumber yards of the P., Ft. W. & C. Ry. at Fort Wayne, was born in Lawrence county, Penn., on March 29, 1844. He is the son of Abel Fisher, born in the same county, whose father was John Fisher, an officer in the war of 1812, and one of the pioneers of Lawrence county, Penn. His wife was a sister to Bishop Roberts, the pioneer Methodist who was bishop of what was then known as the Erie conference, numbering all the Methodist Episcopal churches west of the Alleghany mountains. The mother of the subject of this mention was Polly Gibson, whose father was a native of Pennsylvania and a pioneer of Lawrence county. Abel Fisher, sr., now over seventy years of age, is a resident of Iola, Kan., where he owns and manages a hotel. He also conducts a hotel at Victoria, Kan. His wife died in 1858. Abel Fisher, jr., was reared on a farm in Lawrence county, Penn., and after obtaining a common school education, he learned the miller's trade, and worked at the same until at the age of seventeen years and three months. In July, 1861, he enlisted in Company G, of the Sixty-second Pennsylvania regiment of volunteer infantry, as a private. He served three years, and was discharged at the expiration of his time at Pittsburgh, July 4, 1864. He was wounded in the right wrist at the battle of Gaines' Mill on the Peninsula. Returning to Pennsylvania, he finished his trade and worked at it in Lawrence county until 1869, when he came to Fort Wayne. He was engaged with the railroad company as foreman of the lumber yards, and three months later was made inspector. Mr. Fisher was married in 1869 to Jennie Waddington, of Fort Wayne, who was born in Crestline, Ohio. To them three children have been born: Maude M., wife of E. J. Pirson, of Columbus, Ohio, Walter B. and William.	FISHER Alexander Abel (I1048)
441	Abel Fisher, son of Abel Fisher, was born at Mt. Mellick, Ireland, about 1730, and died at Fort Ligonier, Westmoreland County Pennsylvania. He served some time in the British army as a dragoon and, following his discharge he married Rachel Whoowee or Howee, a Quakeress who was born at Eddenderry (Edenderry). They immediately sailed for America, the voyage lasting three months, and landed in Philadelphia. Mr. Fisher left one brother, Henry and one half-sister, Nancy Lake, while his wife left brothers William and Mathias, and three sisters, Mollie, Nancy and Hannah. Of these relatives none were ever known to come to America except Henry Fisher. The family kept track of him for some time, but for many years now all trace of him and his family has been lost. After his arrival in this country, Abel Fisher and his wife settled at Cape May, New Jersey, where the family resided for about twenty years and where their children were born. While there he owned a small boat in which he carried oysters to Philadelphia and brought back domestic goods. In 1773, he concluded to immigrate to what was then the West. Procuring a wagon and a team of horses, he started for the redstone country, near the line between Westmoreland and Fayette Counties, Pennsylvania. After a terrible journey over bad roads and mountains, late in the fall they reached a point one mile west of Fort Ligonier, now Ligonier Borough, where their team gave out and refused to go any further. Here they remained through the winter and finally concluded to make the neighborhood their permanent home. Subsequently, Mr. Fisher purchased a tract of three hundred acres of land, two miles west of Ligonier, on the Two Mile Run. This land remained in the possession of the family for more than one hundred years. Just as they commenced to make an improvement on their land the Revolutionary War broke out, and as they were on the frontier, and exposed to Indian raids, the family removed to York, Pennsylvania, where the women remained until the close of the war. Mr. Fisher and the two oldest boys returned to Ligonier, and lived amidst constant alarms and danger, the Indians killing some of the settlers every year. Sometime, during the war, Mr. Fisher died in the fort, it was said, of pleurisy. As was common, with the early settlers he requested that he be buried on his own farm. A squad of soldiers accompanied the funeral procession and while they committed dust to dust, armed men stood around in the bushes to guard against surprise by Indians. He was an industrious and thrifty man, and under more favorable circumstances would have succeeded well.	FISHER Abel (I199)

445	Abel's house is packed with eight people in this census. Difficult to even speculate on the identity of many of these. The census lists: one "Free White Males under 10" - presumably a nephew; one "Free White Males over 45" -Abel himself; one "Free White Females under 10" - likely a niece; one "Free White Females 10 to 15" - another niece; one "Free White Female 16 to 25" - another niece; and three "Free White Females 45 and over." One of these is presumably Abel's wife Rachel Forbes. Candidates for the other two females include Abel's mother Rachel Hoowe Fisher, although she would have been in her nineties in 1810; sister Elizabeth, little is known about her; or a Stewart or McDowell relation, Abel's sister Rachel presumably having married Jacob Stewart by this time and sister Hannah definitely married to Samuel McDowell around 1790. Note that the previous census also had three women over 45 living with Abel. At least one of the older women in this census is probably the mother of the children listed in the census. There is no record of Abel having children.	FISHER Abel (I201)

449	Abel, the oldest son, never married, but continued to live on the farm with his mother and sisters until he died of old age, his four score years. His education was very limited, but he could read, and did, until he became the best historian in that part of the country. He acquired the habit of fast reading, (or glancing) as he termed it, thus getting the marrow out of a book without reading one fourth of it. His thirst for knowledge continued to the last. When on his death bed, he requested daily to have the papers read to him. He was one of the most religious men the writer ever knew. His life went out calm as a summer evening.	FISHER Abel (I201)
