Homer D. Fisher (1846-1891) was born in Akron, Ohio, and died in Colorado Springs, Colorado. By 1860 his family had moved to Chicago, Illinois, and he married Julia H. Fisher (b. King) there in 1869. By 1880 they were living in El Paso County, Colorado. Fisher worked as a manager of a sawmill in Manitou Springs, Colorado, and later became one of the founders of the Colorado Midland Railway. Mildred Nettie Hall McQuaid, a student of Mary Baker Eddy, wrote to Eddy in 1889 stating that Fisher, who had been treated by some of Eddy's students, was ill and traveling to Boston, Massachusetts, in hopes of meeting with Eddy. It is uncertain whether or not he did so.
