J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago-Louisville 1928. Greenup County. JACOB FISHER. Through his banking activities Jacob Fisher has contributed his quota toward Russell’s upbuilding and prestige, and he represents one of the pioneer families of this locality, in which his life has been spent. He was born March 10, 1877, at Pond Run, now known as Russell, and his parents were George and Elizabeth (Lambert) Fisher. The father was one of the leading agriculturists of Greenup county, and his life’s labors were ended in 1888. He was long survived by the mother, who passed away in 1918. Jacob Fisher was educated in the public schools of Greenup, Kentucky and Ironton, Ohio. At an early age he became familiar with the best methods of tilling the soil and after the father’s demise assisted his mother in the management of the farm, which was one of the finest in this section of the state. He sold the homestead in 1913, and the famous Raceland track is located on land formerly owned by the Fisher family. In 1913 Mr. Fisher was appointed postmaster of Russell and ably discharged the duties of that office, which he filled for ten years. Since 1923 he has been identified with the First National Bank of Russell. He was elected vice president and was afterward called to the presidency, and during 1923-24 acted as cashier of the bank, of which he is now a director. With a thorough knowledge of the complex details of modern finance, he labored systematically and effectively to promote the growth of the institution. He is now living largely retired in the enjoyment of a competence ample for his requirements. Mr. Fisher was married September 7, 1904, to Miss Amanda McCormick, a daughter of James and Mary (Corum) McCormick, of Greenup county. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher have become the parents of three sons: Joseph, who was born June 28, 1905; James, whose natal day was August 30, 1906; and Jacob, Jr., born February 16, 1908. Mr. Fisher belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and is a democrat in his political convictions. He has witnessed every stage in the development of his community, and its progress is a matter in which he takes much personal pride. He has a wide acquaintance in the country, and public opinion bears testimony to his worth as a man and a citizen.
