Fisher, Jacob, was born in the Grand Duchy of Baden, October 29, 1831, first settled in Rochester, in 1872 came
to Lyons and rented the Lyons Pottery plant for five years, and in 1878 purchased the business and real estate
of the Harrington estate. The Lyons Pottery is a well known manufactory throughout the United States, the merchandise
having a well deserved reputation for excellence and durability. The plant was first established in 1825 by N.
Clark & Co., and was rebuilt in 1889 by Mr. Fisher who has continued to add to the plant since he bought the
property in 1878, having a building of two stories and basement of 175x50 feet including two kilns of 10,000 gallons
capacity each, and having an average yearly output of 650,000 gallons of all kinds of stoneware. At the age of
twenty six he married Theresa Burger, and they have seven children, four of whom are now living: Edmund, William
Frederick, Amelia and Louisa. Our subject is one of the most active business men in his town, identified in advancing
its best interests, and is recognized as a man of sterling integrity and high character.
