General Notes: Husband - Abraham Fiscus


"He was born in 1791, and died in 1853, at sixty-nine years of age." This doesn't add up.

He was a farmer, who took commendable pride in always having his farm neat and clean. Just, generous and sympathetic, he was popular in his community, where he was often consulted by his neighbors on business affairs. He was a Lutheran in religious faith, a republican in politics and served as one of the first officers of Valley township, when it was organized, in 1835. He was a soldier of the War of 1812, serving under Gen. William Henry Harrison.

His first wife bore him seven children, of whom six were living in 1891.
