The Passing of Rev. P.M. Fisher

He became a charter member of the Mexico Brethren church in 1888. In 1901 he was ordained to the ministry by Elder G.W. Rench. His work and counsel in the home church through all the years have been invaluable. Besides a number of churches which he served as pastor he organized the First Brethren church at Peru, Indiana, in 1914 and donated his services for several months until a pastor could be secured.

He exemplified Christ in both conduct and conversation and sought always to overcome evil by doing good. In both public and private life he endeavored to honor the Christ he loved. He was personally interested in public welfare and could always be depended on to help every enterprise that aimed to protect and uplift humanity. His neighbors will ever remember him as a man of ready hand and kind heart, helping in every time of need. The church has lost a loving brother, a zealous and loyal worker. But he will be missed most in his home for he was a loving husband and a kind and tender father.

Brother Fisher was sick less than a day as the result of a stroke of paralysis which occurred while he was performing a marriage ceremony. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. G.W. Rench of South Bend, Indiana, who had been his pastor for many years. He was assisted by Rev. L.W. Ditch of Mexico, Indiana; Rev. G.C. Carpenter of Peru, Indiana; Rev. Charles A. Bame of North Manchester, Indiana and the writer. Besides the above who assisted in the services, the following ministerial brethren were present, - I.B. Wright, W.E. Ronk, Kenneth Ronk, A.T. Wirick, C.A. Stewart, John M. Fox, C.C. Grisso and L.A. Myers. There were also two Church of the Brethren ministers present, making a total of fifteen in all. There was also a large congregation of relatives and friends present to pay their last tributes of respect ot this noble man. It was said to be one of the largest funerals ever held in Mexico.
