            WILLIAM H. FISHER is one of Red Bluff�s promising young men.  He is 
a native of Ontario, Canada, born June 23, 1864.  His parents, John and Frances 
(Bishop) Fisher, were natives of England, and were the parents of three 
children, of whom he is the youngest.  The family removed to Iowa, where the 
subject of this sketch was educated, and where the father died.  William H. and 
his mother subsequently engaged in the restaurant business.  In 1876 they 
removed to Minnesota, continuing in the same business there.  They sold out in 
1884 and came to California, locating in Red Bluff.  For two and a half years 
Mr. Fisher clerked, first for Mr. J.S. Davenport and later for Mr. Rolla Fuller. 
 He then bought out Mr. Davenport and succeeded him in business.  He has a fine 
location and an extensive trade, his business extending out thirty miles from 
the city.
            Mr. Fisher is a member of the I.O.O.F.  Politically he is a 
Republican.  His parents were Methodists.  He, however, is not a member of any 
church.  He is an intelligent and practical business young man, and enjoys the 
confidence of his patrons and all who know him.
