Read More	James Fisher is another of the sterling citizens who has won success and independence through long continued association with farm enterprise in Gage County, and his present attractive home farm, of one hundred and forty acres, is situated in Section 4, Sherman Township. Mr. Fisher was born in Bohemia, Germany, March 1, 1857, was there reared and educated and was twenty-two years of age when he came to the United States. He landed in the port of New York City and his financial resources were at such low ebb that he was compelled to borrow twenty-four dollars to pay his railroad fare to Nebraska. Upon arriving in this state he settled in Johnson County, where he was employed for the following three months at farm work, with a compensation of eight dollars a month. He was so frugal that he soon was able to pay the debt which he had incurred in coming to Nebraska, and after having worked about eight years as a farm employee he had saved one hundred dollars;, besides having become the owner of a small house. He sold the house and with the one hundred dollars thus added to his savings he purchased a lease on school land, incidentally assuming a debt of two hundred dollars. After his marriage he continued his operations on this land eight years, and he then sold the lease and purchased one hundred and sixty acres in Filley Township, Gage County. This was wild prairie land. In Section 1, and on the place he erected a house and other modest farm buildings. There he continued his activities as a farmer and stock grower for ten years, and in 1910 he purchased his present well improved homestead farm, besides which he owns eighty acres in Filley township and in 1917, gave a farm of eighty acers to one of his sons. Mr. Fisher endured his full share of the hardships incidental to pioneer life and recalls that in the early days he sold wheat for only thirty cents a bushel. After his marriage he and his wife occupied for some time a little frame house that was only fourteen by sixteen feet in dimensions, and that afforded entirely inadequate protection during the cold winters, the walls of the little dwelling being frequently covered with frost, so cold was the interior of the building. Mr. Fisher has been unremitting in his industry and, in the face of many handicaps, has achieved substantial success. In Johnson county was solemnized his marriage to Miss Anna Brush, who likewise was born in Bohemia, and they have four children: Frank, who is a successful farmer in Filley township is married and has two children; Rudolph and his wife reside on another excellent farm in Filley township; Joseph, who is married and has one child, is a prosperous farmer in Sherman Township; and Helen is the wife of Frank Hubka, of Sherman township, they having one child. Mr. Fisher is a loyal citizen of the county and state in which he has found opportunities for the winning of independence and prosperity and though on a basic way he supports the cause of the Democratic party he is not restricted by partisan lines in local affairs and gives his support to men and measures meeting the approval of his judgment.
