He was the first child of Rev. Otis Fisher and Harriet Newell Day, two educators. He graduated from Chicago University (much later the University of Chicago) in 1874 and then graduated from the Chicago Baptist Seminary in 1877. He married Emma Cornelia Haigh, the second child of Dr. William Morehouse/Moorehouse Haigh and Sarah Desire Brown the 10th of October, 1880 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Rev. Charles Henry Day Fisher was a pastor in Geneseo, Illinois and then a home missionary in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota. Because of anxiety about the collapse of an economic boom they went to live at the home of Dr. William M. Haigh, Emma's father, at 3514 Vernon Ave., Chicago. Here Stella Cornelia Fisher was born the 3rd of December, 1881. When Stella was eight months old, they sailed from Boston for India stopping first at the homes of Emma's grandfathers, Daniel Haigh in Bristol, Illinois, and Myron Brown in Haskins, Ohio (near Toledo). They reached India via Europe and after only six weeks as a missionary in Madras, C.H.D. Fisher received a cable "Fisher go Japan." They packed up and left for Yokohama and Tokyo. Their second child, Royal Haigh Fisher was born the 20th of September, 1884 in Tokyo. The family remained in Tokyo until 1888 when on November 28th they sailed for San Francisco. They lived in Fairview, Kansas at the home of James and Mary Boomer for three months while waiting for their new home to be completed in Chicago. They lived in Chicago for a year and then returned to Tokyo in 1890. Charles and Emma served in the Tokyo and Yokohama areas doing general evangelistic work. They opened pioneer work in Mito, going by jinricksha from Tokyo before the introduction of the railway. They helped to start the first mission, Shadan, a legal property-holding body; and established the first institutional church in the heart of the student center of Tokyo. Rev. C.H.D. Fisher was principal of a secondary school in Yokohama until his death in Yokohama, Aomori, Japan on the 2nd of February, 1920. He is buried in the "Gaijin bochi" (foreigner's cemetery) on the Yamate Bluff in Yokohama, Aomori, Japan. Emma lived with Royal and his family in Japan until 1936 when she returned to the U.S. She died the 23rd of May, 1952 in a Baptist retirement home in Pelham, New York. Her ashes are buried in Elmwood Cemetery, in Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, USA in grave 1 on the east side of the lot (presumably the Googins lot possibly held with the Hill family).
