- FRANK FISCHER, one of the influential citizens of Center township, who has been prominent in local matters, and especially in securing good roads for this locality, is residing in the log house on the farm first settled on by his father, in the early '60s. The father, Joseph Fischer, was a native of Germany who came to the United States with his wife Margaret, and his seven children. Landing at New York, he at once made his way to Outagamie county, settling in the woods of Center township, where he built the log house and settled down to clear his land. The excellent state of preservation which the house is still in is something by which the character of this sturdy German pioneer can be judged. Thoroughness, excellence of work and stanch building, together with an admirable ability for securing the best materials, made this structure one that could defy the ravages of time and go on, year after year, performing its duty as a comfortable and ample shelter for members of the family. Joseph Fischer spent the rest of his life on this property and died in 1898, his widow surviving him but three years.
Frank Fischer was born in 1868, on the farm which he now owns, and his education was secured in the district schools of Center township. After completing his studies he settled down to farm work, and he and his brother, Antone, are now operating this excellent property, carrying on general farming and dairying, and also engaging in stockraising to some extent. Mr. Fischer has always been a hard worker, and has not confined his hard work to his own interests, as his success in securing better roads for Center township will testify. He is a consistent member and liberal supporter of St. Edward's Catholic Church at Mackville.
