Information: THE LATE GREENBURY FISHER.  GOLDTOWN, W. VA., FEB. 19, 1902.- On the 5th of Feb. 1902, at his home in Jackson county, W. Va., on Poca River near Sissonville, Greenbury Fisher died in his  80th year.  He was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1848 and to its interest gave 54 years of faithful service and the influence of a noble religious character and life.  Brother Fisher was a man of sound judgement and was a safe counselor in the church.  He was held in high esteem, as was well attested by the large congregation assembled at the church near by where we spoke from St. John 14: 1-3, after which we consigned his body to the dust.  It can be said of brother Fisher, that he was a good man and when the call came he was ready to go.  ""Servant of God, well done; Rejoice, thy warfare past; The battle fought, the victory won, And thou are crowned at last.""      Z. T. Scantlin.
