PREFACE.
I have had a personal interest in the preparation of
this memorial beyond the fact of my being a grand
child of Samuel Fisher.
I well remember his dignified presence in the home
of my childhood in Orange, N. J.
My earliest remembrance is of his trundling my
younger brother, who was named for him, in a baby
carriage, the first we had owned in the family, which
grandfather had bought for his namesake.
Some two years before his death he suffered a stroke
of paralysis, which rendered him quite helpless, though
his mind was entirely clear. I was regularly called in
from my play to roll his chair through the rooms to
the kitchen and back, for his diversion.
I was one of the few grandchildren present in Pater-
son at his funeral and burial on the bleak New Year's
Day 1857, and in later years I personally attended to
the removal of the remains of the family from the old
Sandy Hill Burial Ground to Laurel Grove Cemetery.
The picture drawn may suggest a man of stern char
acter only. But he had a keen sense of humor and was
highly valued by his friends as a genial companion.
In the last year of his life it became necessary to move
him with, his daughter's family, to the new Parsonage
at Succasunna. It was along a level road, and in his
wheel chair he was rolled into a wagon. Those who
had the matter in charge thought it unnecessary to
secure the chair, or even put in the tailboard. An
unlooked for gully in the road gave the wagon a lurch,
the one who held the chair was thrown off his balance,

the chair and heavy paralytic rolled backward into the
road. The chair was crushed to pieces, the occupant
was not hurt, but sat in the midst of the wreck laugh
ing so heartily that they feared for his life.
Of the grandchildren who lived to mature life four
teen are living, and the five who have passed away
have left descendants, and all have contributed toward
this memorial.
In preparing notes to be added to this sketch of Dr.
Fisher, it has been difficult to make selections from the
wealth of testimony which is on record in regard the
high value of his character and work.
The times in which he lived were formative in the
history of our country. In the regions where his lot
was cast he was a leader in courageously meeting the
problems of life. He always gave a positive contribu
tion to their solution and left the community uplifted
and benefited.

AMUEL FISHER was called to the
pastorate of this Church in 1814.
He was then thirty-seven years of
age, and had been engaged in minis
terial work for about ten years.
Five years in the Congregational
Church at Wilton, Conn., and five years in the First
Presbyterian Church at Morristown, N. J.
In the twenty years of his service in this community
he performed the principal work of his life, and was
accorded by his associates the highest honors they
could confer.
Three-quarters of a century have passed away since
he labored here. As we look over the record of what
he accomplished, it will be interesting and profitable
to consider the conditions which surrounded his birth
and education, together with the circumstances which
developed his character and attainments.
We must go back in mind to the middle of the
Eighteenth Century in the years shortly before the
War of the Revolution, when the principal settlements
in New England existed along the eastern seaboard,
and the tide of emigration set across Massachusetts to
the unoccupied lands in the central and western part
of that State.
In 1765, Jonathan Fisher, the grandfather of
Samuel, then a man fifty years of age, left Dedham,
near Boston, with his family and settled in New Brain-
tree in Worcester County.
With him also went his son Jonathan, afterward the
father of Samuel, then a young man of twenty-two,
who the next year returned to Dedham and brought
back as his wife Katharine, the daughter of Deacon
William Avery.
In 1773 the whole family again moved into that
part of Northampton, now included in the town of

Westhampton, buying land from the first settler and
occupying a log house.
Later the family home was built, the plain square
New England farm house, with the great chimney in
the center, away up on the side of Cub Hill, 1,000 feet
above the Connecticut River and nine miles west of
Northampton. The old house is standing to-day, still occupied by
the descendants of the family.
At the opening of the War of the Revolution, the
younger Jonathan was a fine, stalwart farmer, thirty-
two years of age, and a family of six children had
been born to himself and Katharine.
He had held a commission in the King's Army, but
resigned in 1775, and was commissioned Second Lieu
tenant in the Second Regiment of Militia in Hamp
shire County.
He is described as a "fair-looking, well-built man,
with gentlemanly manners, a zealous patriot who did
much to aid the enlisting of soldiers."
After Washington's disastrous retreat across the
Jerseys in the last months of 1 776, the young Lieuten
ant responded to a call and enlisted as a private,
December 20, 1776, for three months' service, and
marched to Peekskill, N. Y., and later to the camp of
Washington at Morristown, N. J.
There he died of a camp fever on March 10, 1777,
only a few days before the return of his company to
their homes.
We have the letters which he wrote to his wife
during his absence, brief, simple communications such
as would be written by a man unaccustomed to the
pen, but expressing sincere religious feeling, and his
reliance upon his Heavenly Father. The message that
came after his death was that he died praying for his
children. Dr. Fisher was wont to relate that the last person
whom he received into his Church in Morristown was

Fisher Homestead in Westhampton, Mass.

the very woman who had nursed his father during
his dying hours, and had received the last messages
to be sent to his distant family.
Under these trying conditions Katharine went to
the home of her brother-in-law, Dr. Samuel Ware, at
that time living in Sunderland, down by the Connecti
cut River, about twenty miles from the Westhampton
home, and there on June 30, 1777, her youngest son,
Samuel, the subject of this sketch, was born. Later,
with her children, she went to live with her father in
Dedham. We can hardly imagine more pathetic conditions
than this commencement of the life of little Samuel.
We know from his mother's letters that she was a
person of strong and deep Christian character, coura
geous, faithful and industrious, and we can imagine
her influence upon those early years of her little flock
as they knelt at her knee and she told them of the
noble father who had given his life for his country.
Three of her four sons became ministers of the
Gospel. She lived to a great age, passed her declin
ing years with her son Samuel, and her remains were
interred here, and upon her gravestone he inscribed,
"A Mother in Israel."
Note. — The Fishers and Wares seem to have met in New Brain-
tree, Samuel Ware, the father of Dr. Samuel Ware, came from
Wrentham to New Braintree before the Fishers, they occupied
farms on the eastern side of the Ware River as the ground rises
to New Braintree Village. There was a triangle of marriages
between the families. Lieut. Jonathan Fisher and Katharine
Avery. Samuel Ware and Bethiah Avery- Maj. Aaron Fisher a
younger half-brother of Lieut. Jonathan Fisher married Samuel
Ware's sister Elizabeth and the old Homestead in Westhampton
descended in his family to this day.
Katharine Avery Fisher lived with her father in Dedham
after the death of her husband and later with her married
daughters until she came to Paterson in 1822. She left a record
in her own hand writing of the cloth which she wove each year
from 1778 to 1822—9,138 yards in 45 years— the highest was 420
yards in 1788.

On the day of his birth Samuel had been adopted
by his uncle, Dr. Ware, Mrs. Ware being Bethiah
Avery, a sister of Katharine, and when he was five
years old he was taken to Conway, Mass., among the
hills north of Westhampton, to which place Dr. Ware
had removed.
Of Dr. Ware it is recorded "he was a gentlemanly
and tender physician, cheerful and ingenious in his
profession, and his genial spirit gave him many
friends." Dr. Fisher left an interesting sketch of his own life
complete to the time of his call to this Church.
His time during his residence in Conway was prin
cipally employed in laboring upon his uncle's farm,
and in those various occupations which are usually
attended to in country places by youths of his age and
situation. He had a natural fondness for learning and living
in the vicinity of a good district school and having
access to the town library he acquired a good common
education by the time he was sixteen years old.
He had made up his mind to learn a trade, but
through the influence of a student of Dr. Ware's who
had taught the district school and was impressed by
Samuel's desire to acquire knowledge, it was arranged
that, with some financial help from his uncle, he
should have the opportunity to obtain a college edu
cation. He remained in the family of his uncle and pursued
his preparatory studies, entering Williams College in
1795, graduating in 1799. The low state of his finances
rendered his collegiate course laborious and fatiguing.
The first three winters he was obliged to be absent
for the purpose of teaching school, and he also had to
labor during the vacations.
The whole expense of his four years' college course,
including clothes, books, board, tuition, and incidental
expenses amounted to $642.32.

He taught school in Conway during the winter fol
lowing his graduation, and was appointed Preceptor
in the Deerfield Academy in February, 1800.
During the latter part of his collegiate course he
had several seasons of deep and pungent convictions
of sin, and finally as he trusted surrendered his heart
to the Lord. He made a public profession of religion,
and joined the Church in Deerfield.
In the fall of 1801 he was appointed a tutor in
Williams College, where he remained two years pur
suing his theological studies as he had time.
He continued these studies, first while living in the
family of Hon. John Davenport in Stamford, Conn.,
and instructing his children, and later with Dr. Hyde,
of Lee, Mass., and was licensed to preach by the
Berkshire Association at their session in Lee, October
3, 1804.
While a tutor in Williams College in 1802 he met
Miss Alice Cogswell, who afterward became his wife.
The acquaintance led to his visiting her in Stam
ford and his subsequent employment as tutor in the
family of her uncle, Mr. Davenport.
In the summer of 1805, Aug. 22d, he was married. Miss
Cogswell was a daughter of Dr. James Cogswell, of
New York.
He had been a surgeon on the staff of General
Washington, and active during the Revolutionary
War; afterward practiced in New York and was
largely interested in promoting philanthropic work.
He died of yellow fever, contracted while attending
upon the duties of his profession.
Her mother was a daughter of Col. Abraham
Davenport, of Connecticut, and on Mrs. Davenport's
side descended from a sister of Jonathan Edwards.
Of Col. Davenport it is related :
The 19th of May, 1780, was a remarkably dark day.
A very general opinion prevailed that the day of judg
ment was at hand. A proposal to adjourn the Coun-

cil of Connecticut was under consideration. Col.
Davenport arose and said : "I am against an adjourn
ment. The Day of Judgment is either approaching
or it is not. If it is not, there is no cause for an ad
journment; if it is, I choose to be found doing my
duty. I wish therefore that candles may be brought."
Note.— See Wittier' s Poem "Abraham Davenport."
In Dr. Fisher's marriage he not only found a gentle
and helpful companion, but he was brought into inti
mate association with a cultivated family circle.
During the first pastorate at Wilton, Conn., Dec. 3d,
1805 to July 5th, 1809, he was sent as a delegate to
represent the General Association of Connecticut in the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at
Philadelphia. Here he met Rev. Dr. Richards, of Morristown,
and was led to visit the place of his father's decease.
This opened the door for him into the Presbyterian
Church, and soon after, when Dr. Richards moved to
Newark, he was called to succeed him in 1809.
The congregation in Morristown was one of the
largest in New Jersey, embracing as it did over five
hundred families. His ministry there was most ac-
Note. — Mr. Fisher's ministry in Wilton was most valuable.
He used his influence soon after his installation in securing the
giving up of the "Half-way Covenant." The membership of
the church increased largely under his charge and the spiritual
blessings which in the next twenty-five years increased the
church two or three fold is a sufficient justification of the
wisdom of his course.
The annals of the church in Morristown reveal many in
teresting characteristics in Mr. Fisher. It was a period of
great political excitement and of agitation against the vice of
intemperance. He spoke plainly and directly to bring his con
gregation under the control of the noblest principles, and was
active in every thing to promote the interests of the people and
the town. The opposition of some was aroused as distilleries
were owned within the circle of his congregation. When he
left the church a majority expressed the desire that he should
remain and he left it much stronger than when he came.

ceptable and useful, continuing five years, from Aug.
9th, 1809, to April 27th, 1814.
From the address of Dr. Hornblower, then the pastor
of this church, delivered here at the funeral of Dr.
Fisher on January 1, 1857, I quote the following ac
count of his pastorate in Paterson :
"He assumed the charge of this church under very
discouraging circumstances. The congregation was
small, and chiefly composed of the poor. The number
of communicants was only twenty-four."
The church had no house of worship. The only
church edifice in the village at that time was the Re
formed Dutch Church of Totowa, which was burned
in 1827. It had been resolved, previously to Dr.
Fisher's installation, to erect a small frame building
as a house of worship. This plan was afterward
changed and a brick edifice of large dimensions was
built. One of the first pastoral acts of Dr. Fisher was
the laying of the cornerstone of the old "Brick
Church," on August 5, 18 14. That cornerstone was
sacredly preserved and is deposited under this church.
It is a simple slab of red free stone, marked with the
initial letters of the church, the full name of the pastor,
and the year 181 4. Dr. Fisher worked on this build
ing with his own hands. He and his colored man cut
the timber, of which it was constructed, in the woods
and dragged it to the village; and he did what was
more disagreeable if less laborious, solicited funds from
neighboring towns and churches. The work pro
gressed slowly. For a long time the congregation wor
shipped in the church while it was still unfinished,
sitting on rough boards. The pews were not put in
till the year 18 19, and the galleries were not finished
till several years later.
Scarcely was this arduous work completed ere it
had to be done over again. On the evening of the
20th of June, 1822, the church edifice was struck by
lightning, the tower and the window sashes were al
ii

most destroyed, and the walls, the galleries and the
pews greatly injured. The congregation, already in
debt, were overwhelmed by this calamity. The pastor
himself was deeply distressed. But with his accus
tomed energy he set himself to work, and the sub
scription books which he circulated through the
neighboring towns show how indefatigably and per-
sever ingly he worked.
But the event, which was so great a temporal
calamity, proved to be one of rich spiritual benefit to
the people. On the Sunday succeeding the casualty
the pastor preached in the ruined church a solemn and
impressive sermon. His text was, "For the time is come
that judgment must begin at the house of God ; and
if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them
who obey not the Gospel of God?" The Spirit of
God descended that day in power, and then began a
revival which extended through several consecutive
years. Those were years of the largest ingatherings
and the most precious spiritual blessings that this
church has ever enjoyed.
During the prevalence of the cholera in 1832, Dr.
Fisher was assiduous and untiring in his labors. Over
eighty persons died of the pestilence; most of them
very poor and uncared for. He was with the sick
and dying day and night. He ministered to their
temporal comfort, as well as spiritual, and with his
own hands laid out many of the dead for their burial.
His friends knew not which most to admire, his
physical powers of endurance or his unfaltering and
self-denying benevolence.
He left this church in a state of great prosperity.
The number of names enrolled among the communi
cants during his pastorship had increased from 24 to
524, and he had baptized some 400 persons.
It is doubtful if ever a pastor's memory was
cherished with more fervent affection than his, by
those who were born and reared in this Church, dur-

ing his ministry. The Church has, indeed, reasons to
cherish love for his memory. To it he gave the very
prime and vigor of his manhood. With great spirit
ual profit to himself and the people, he here spent
and was spent in the service of Christ. And to the
end he loved it. His love seemed to grow more fervent
with each succeeding year; and the unusually affec
tionate manner in which he expressed his interest on
the occasion of his last visit cannot be forgotten.
In 1834, being then 57 years old, Dr. Fisher felt
the need of retiring to a less arduous field of work,
and he took charge, as an Evangelist, of a missionary
field at the Ramapo Works, in Rockland County,
N. Y., and later served as pastor of a church at
Greenbush, opposite Albany, N. Y., from 1843 until
1850. After that he lived with his daughters in this State
and died at Succasunna on December 27, 1856, in
the 79th year of his age.
In person he was a man of large frame and com
manding appearance. His fearlessness, joined with
his honesty, made him respected by all who knew him.
He had great power in stating a proposition, and
his style of argument was very simple and direct.
His pastorate in Wilton was considerably disturbed
by his refusal to baptize the children of any but pro
fessed believers. His statement was, "I cannot with
out violating my conscience."
Rev. Barnabas King related that, both he and Dr.
Fisher were invited to attend the funeral of a poor

Note. — Dr. Fisher had a warm admirer and liberal supporter in
Roswell L. Colt, at that time the leading citizen of Paterson. On
the other hand he was extremely popular with the working
people, they would do anything for him. Mr. Colt employed
Dr. Fisher in five different years to compile a census of Pat
erson, going very particularly into industrial, educational and
religious conditions — -and these illustrated his remarkable in
dustry, skill and intelligence in compiling data.

man who had been tempted by his own relations to
excessive drinking for base reasons, the circumstances
were well known. When Dr. Fisher arose, he thrilled
his audience by his text, "Woe unto him that giveth
his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and
makest him drunken also."
At the examination of a Candidate for the ministry
before Presbytery, many felt that the young man was
deficient, but did not wish to hurt his feelings.
Dr. Fisher was Moderator. He said, "A boy ten
years old should do better, we have no right to license
stupidity; my advice is to send him back to his books
and if he fails then, to advise his return to some occu
pation for which he is better fitted."
He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from
Princeton College in 1827 and was elected the Mod
erator of the first New-School General Assembly in
1838. We have here a picture of the influences which pro
duced this man of unusual character in his day and
generation. Parents who were God-fearing, faithful and indus
trious. The guidance of an adopted Father who was
useful and upright.
A youth in touch with all that was most elevating
in the community.

Note. — The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church met in
Philadelphia on the 17th of May, 1838, in the Seventh Presbyter
ian Church. They refused to place upon the roll the Commis
sioners from the Presbyteries which had been "excinded" in the
previous year.
These Commissioners met in the aisle of the church, elected
clerks, and Dr. Fisher moderator, then adjourned to the First
Presbyterian Church. About one-half of the church was repre
sented in this movement — Known as the New School.
Note. — He lived with his son, Rev. Samuel Ware Fisher, in
West Bloomfield from 1840 to 1843, and with his daughter, Mrs.
Horace Kimball, in Orange from 1850 to 1855, after that with his
daughter Elizabeth, wife of Rev. Josiah Fisher at Succasunna.

Education gained by hard work, and severe appli
cation. An intimate acquaintance with cultivated friends.
And the result of these, consecrated to the service
of God, and manifested in his usefulness to his fellow-
men. We find an appropriate summary of this life in the
inscription which it is the pleasure of his grandchil
dren to perpetuate upon this tablet, an inscription writ
ten by his son, Rev. Samuel Ware Fisher, D.D., and
placed upon the monument which the people of this
Church erected here over his remains :
"An Orphan, whose father fell in the Revolution.
He rose to eminence as a Scholar by his own
efforts.
A Minister of Christ for more than fifty years,
His Record is in the hearts of hundreds con
verted under his ministry.
His Memory is the precious inheritance of the
churches to whom he ministered."

Note. — The Church at Ramapo had been erected in 1810 by
Jeremiah H. Pierson for the benefit of his employees in the
iron works. Among others in the Presbytery Dr. Fisher devoted
the most time to this church.
After the peace of 1815, following the war of 1812, the in
dustries of Paterson were so depressed that for several years
the people were unable to meet their obligations to Dr. Fisher,
and the church in Ramapo assisted largely in his support, as
appears in the following letters :
Paterson, November 30th, 1833.
Jeremiah H. Pierson, Esq.,
Ramapo Works,
New York.
My Dear Sir:
Yours of the 26th instant I this day received. I have for
several years past felt a deep and lively interest in the destitute
situation of your village and vicinity in regard to moral culture.
IS

Whenever I have preached there, and witnessed the interesting
group of young persons collected, I have been pained to think
that they should remain without the stated means of grace. I
have felt that something ought to be done in their behalf, and
have at times inquired what my own duty was in relation to
them, but the many cares devolving upon me, as pastor of a
large congregation, I have perhaps too much kept the subject
out of mind, but of late, I have questioned with myself whether I
ought not to undertake personally to gather a regular congregation
there. I am fully aware that a separation from my present beloved
charge to whom I have ministered, next Spring, twenty years,
would be extremely painful to me, and to them, but still it may
be duty.
When this place experienced a reverse after the Peace, my
trustees gave me notice that they were unable to fulfill their
engagements, and though unwilling to have me leave them, still
could not object. I doubtless should have left, as I had at
that time a favorable call from another congregation, if you
had not generously engaged to divide with them the burden
of my support. This was continued until they had become
strong enough wholly to sustain me. They have enjoyed what
ever advantage may have resulted from my continuance amongst
them, through your instrumentality, and now they have become
a large and flourishing congregation, able to afford a competent
support to any man they may choose to call, and I have ever
felt that in some degree, at least, they are indebted to Ramapo
for this, though I make no pretensions to shining talents or
popular eloquence.
Yet from my intercourse with all sorts of people and the
knowledge of human nature thus acquired, I have been led to
think that were I to remove to Ramapo, and God should spare
my life and health, I might through the Divine blessing be in
strumental in establishing a respectable congregation there,
while some other person might be more useful here where the
congregation is large and firmly established. I have preached
to this people about twenty years, and though, as far as I
know, there is perfect harmony, without a dissenting voice,
yet, I am inclined to think that a change may be beneficial to
their spiritual interests.
There may be such a thing as being lolled to sleep by hear
ing the sound of the same voice for a long course of years,
but you must see that the subject is a very difficult one to
decide upon and I shall not think of coming to a decision with
out seeking counsel from God and man.
I shall endeavor, if spared, to visit Ramapo in order to
have a personal interview with you on the subject.

I have but a few years to labor in Christ's vineyard in this
world and if I know my own heart, I choose to labor where
I may be instrumental in doing the most good.
That your health may be confirmed and that you may enjoy
the consolations of religion in your own soul, is the sincere
prayer of, Yours sincerely, Saml. Fisher.

Paterson, March 12th, 1834.
Jeremiah H. Pierson, Esq.,
Ramapo Works,
New York.
Dear Sir :
Last evening my Trustees and Session met at my house
agreeable to my request on the Sabbath and I made known to
them the plan of my future labors. I had, a few days before,
mentioned the subject to one of my session in confidence.
With this exception, the matter was as unexpected as it was
new. It created considerable sensation as I expected, but I
think most of them felt the force of my reasons for a removal.
Whether they will oppose me before the Presbytery who hold
their stated meeting here the third Tuesday in April, or not,
I cannot now tell, but I am inclined to think they will not.
As my own mind is fully made up as to the path of duty and
the thing is now made public, you may consider the exigency
of secrecy as fully removed and can communicate with the
people on the subject, as you think expedient.
I am very busy now visiting the congregation, as I expect for
the last time, but I hope before long to be able to come up and
spend a night with you and converse respecting our ulterior
arrangements. My family are in comfortable health and desire an affectionate
remembrance to your self and family.
Yours with much esteem,
Saml. Fisher.
