I had several ancestors in the Brown Twp near Fisher. Their names were Asa Davis, Hiram Hastings, and Wm Groves. All living in the area bginning about 1865. I have not seen their names mentioned which is not unusual but the question I have deals with not seeing anyone mentioned who lived near the town of Fisher. Would you have any idea why Fisher folks do not show up? Could it be Fisher had its own newspaper and some of the other small towns did not? Thanks Eldon Davis
