You are correct that Amos Fisher of Berien Co MI was the father of Emerald Asa Fisher. Emerald married Carrie Lenora Dale of New Bedford Il. Her father was Thomas Edward Dale. He was a relatively well off farmer in New Bedford, Bureau Co, IL. He is burried at Union Cementry outside what is left of New Bedford IL. Thomas was married to Eliza (might be Elizabeth) Spargo (also spelled Spargel). Both Thomas and Eliza were from England. Amos Fisher served in the civil war and is buried in the Lakeside cementry in Lakeside MI. He was awarded a military disability pension for his service in the civil war. He was married t least twice. Carrie was Emerald Asa Fisher second wife. I believe his first wife died but they had a son named Homer. Emerald Asa Fisher and Carie lenora Dale moved to Kansas. They had a large family. Emerals did die at Osawotomie, Miami, Kansas. He was an inmate at the state aslyum at the time. One of Emerald and Carrie's daughters was named Artha. Artha was my grandmother. She married William H Johnson. She had three children with him before he died. He was invalided in an accident and died young. Her eldest son was Emeral Newton Johnson. Artha was to remarry at least twice more. Emerald was my father. I have a few pictures of Emerald Asa and Carrie Lenora Fisher and some of their children tucked away somewhere. They were a handsome couple. Both are buried t the Earlton Cementry in KS although I believe Carrie was living in Spokane WA at the time of her death.
