  s/o Elias B Fisher and Emily Robinson; Miss Hazel Fisher, informant ----- Gideon Camden Fisher was born on Big Run of Horn Creek, Gilmer County, on February 16, 1869, He was the son of Elias Beasley Fisher and Emily Robinson Fisher. He married Flora Williams, a former school teacher, in 1893. She was the daughter of Aaron Williams and Serena Haddox Williams. G.C. Fisher engaged in farming and cattle raising. He was also well known as an auctioneer. He first bought a small farm on Big Run, but only lived there a short time before he moved to a farm which he had purchased from Milton Norris in 1896. This farm was on Middle Run near Latonia. Only a few families lived there at the time. The first school and church in the community were built on this farmland. The church is known as the Eliam Baptist Church still stands but is only used once a year when relatives and friends meet there for a reunion. A few years ago the school building was sold by the Gilmer County Board of Education and removed. In 1902 this farm was sold to Sylvester Maxwell. Then G.C. Fisher moved to Glenville where he lived until his death on September 22, 1956. Here he continued to purchase land and farms in several parts of the county. He was a Methodist and a Republican. He served as a member of the Gilmer County Republican Executive Committee for many years. He was the father of two children; Hazel Fisher (Gerwig) and Elias H. Fisher who died in February 1938.
