Part 2/11:
The Fisher family’s legacy began with their German grandparents, who emigrated to the United States in 1848. Lawrence Fisher, one of the siblings’ ancestors, learned the trades of blacksmithing and carriage making, establishing his own carriage shop. This emphasis on craftsmanship was passed down to Lawrence and his wife, Margaret, who had eleven children—seven of whom were sons. Through the many challenges of family life, the Fishers remained strong and united, teaching their children important values of togetherness and strength.
