Query: Any information on :
Willie Fisher s/o Albert & Lucy (Knox) Fisher (b) April 1882,Lincoln
Community, Texas
(m) Eliza (Liza) Palmo , December 1901, F129
Children:
Ernest (b) 1903, Albert (b) 1905, Bertha (b) 1907, Willie Jr. (b)1910
Willie fisher Sr. disappeared between 1910-1915, no one seem to know
what happened to him. His siblings never mentioned him.
Anyone with any information contacrt me.

#2 Eliza (Palmo) Fisher (m) Robert Lewis 10 / 05 / 1915
#3 (m) ? Corothers , name she wore at time of her death.

Beart Fisher died early adult , no records found in Lee County.
Her death is questionable, no one seem to know when or how. There was
mentioned a fight between the brothers.

Albert Fisher, lived around Dime Box area for awhile in 1920s then
disappeared. Had a pleasing personality and well liked by most. At one
time he and Willie Jr might have lived with Archie & Mandy Knox, in
Burleson County.

Willie Jr. Was a drifter and sought activities outside the law. Was said
he lived in Dallas area for awhile. Was said he was well aquainted with
South Dallas policemen of the time.

There are so many Willie Fisher in Texas area it's very difficult to
trac.
