Fisher, Leon Chandler – 92, Middle Stewiacke, passed away in Williams Country Home, Hilden, on April 12, 2011. Born in Middle Stewiacke as the fifth generation on the family farm, he was a son of the late Burton and Adella (Fleck) Fisher. He was a woodsman, dairy farmer, community historian, and could be called upon to fix anything. At the age of 70, he fulfilled a life-long dream of learning to play the fiddle, joining the Good Time Fiddlers, and later inspiring many beginners and following their progress. In his most recent years, his greatest pleasure was spent fixing and refinishing clocks.
