     REV. GEORGE FISHER 
     
     1885 - 1889 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Reverend George Fisher died at his home, 618 Salsbury Drive, Vancouver, 
     
     B.C., on December 2nd, 1942, at the ripe age of ninety years. He was born in Middle 
     
     Stewiacke, Nova Scotia in 1852, and was educated at Sackville Academy, Dalhousie 
     
     University and Pine Hill Theological Seminary, and was ordained by the Presbytery 
     
     of P.E.I. on October 7th, 1884. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Two years after ordination, Rev. Fisher married Miss Sophia Mutch, at 
     
     Hopeton, P.E.I. Pastorates were held at Montrose and Campbellton, P.E.I. from 
     
     1885 - 1889 and at Dalhousie, N.B., for fourteen years. Because of health reasons 
     
     Rev. Fisher and family moved to California, U.S.A., and for about seven years 
     
     ministered to congregations at Tomales and Cayucos. Coming back to British Col- 
     
     umbia, Canada, Rev. Fisher took appointments at Whonnock, Central Park and 
     
     Gabriola Island until his retirement from the active ministry in 1929. Mrs. Fisher 
     
     passed away on October 24th, 1921, at their residence in Vancouver. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Since retirement, Rev. Fisher lived with his family in the Grandview district of 
     
     Vancouver, and, as long as health permitted, rendered loyal and devoted service 
     
     through church and session. For the last five years Rev. Fisher was confined to his 
     
    
   
   
    
     home through illness, and, as his active ministry was exemplary, so now, through 
     
     the ministry of suffering he brought those who ministered to him, and those who 
     
    
   
   
    
     visited him into deeper fellowship with the Father who was so real to him, although 
     
     his body was not functioning properly, his spirit glowed with vitality and occa- 
     
     sionally a flash of humour would light up his eyes. He became accustomed to
