OBITUARY: Franklinton Era Leader 15 Nov 1934
Bennie T. Fisher died Saturday at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Corkern. He was 81 years old, and is survived by 4 sons, T.B., Iddo, Benton, and
A.D. Fisher, 2 daughters, Mrs. Monroe Corkern and Mrs. Jerry Dickerson, 2 brothers and a
sister, Dr. W.L. Fisher of Lake Charles, Felder Fisher and Mrs. Will Douglas, both of Texas. Interment was in the Bonner Creek cemetery.
Benjamin married 7 Amanda E VARNADO [image] "Mandy" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 daughter of Archibald VARNADO and Penelope SIBLEY about 1870 in Washington Parish, LA. Amanda was born 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 on 14 May 1855 in Pike Co, MS. She died on 3 Dec 1935 in Washington Parish, LA. She was buried 15 in Bonner Creek Church Cemetery, Washington Parish, LA.
For a time, I had her name as Mary Amanda. I think that this came from Charles Varnado but am unsure. At any rate, none of the records I have found for her have the Mary name but usually she's named Amanda E with the nickname of Mandy. When you add that to the fact that she had a sister named Mary Angeline, it seems that her correct name is Amanda E. Varnado. ggh

AFFILIATIONS: Knights of the Maccabees and Woodmen of the World.
~Fisher, Dr. W. L., M. D., well-known and successful physician, of Lake Charles, La., was born at Franklinton, Washington parish, La., May 21, 1865, son of Benjamin Tony and Mary Elizabeth (Magee) Fisher, the former of whom was born in Louisiana and the latter in Mississippi. The mother died when the son was 4 years old. Benjamin Tony Fisher devoted his abilities to the vocation of a planter in Washington parish during a long, active and useful life. He died in 1913, at the advanced age of 86 years. W. L. Fisher was the sixth of 7 children born to his parents, as follows: B. F., Jr., J. M., Mary Elizabeth, G. W., Sarah S., the subject of this sketch, and M. P., only 4 of whom are now living, and all married. After the completion of his academic education in the schools of the locality in which he was born, he matriculated in the medical department of Tulane University, from which institution he graduated with the degree of M. D. in the class of 1895. During the succeeding 5 years he was engaged in the practice of medicine at Franklinton, but at the expiration of that time he moved his offices to Lake Charles, where he has since resided and given his undivided attention to the requirements of his profession. The Doctor is extensively known and enjoys a large practice. He is now serving his third term as coroner of Calcasieu parish. He is a member of the Baptist church and is affiliated with the Knights of the Maccabees and Woodmen of the World. November 27, 1895, Dr. Fisher was married to Elma Godwin, daughter of W. E. and Mary (Erwin) Godwin, of Oakdale, La., both of whom were natives of the state of Louisiana. The father was a farmer and interested in timber. Both parents are now deceased. To Dr. and Mrs. Fisher 8 children have been born, namely: Mary V., Vira Elma, Robert Benjamin, Bonnie Lee, William L., Jr. (deceased); Willie Godwin, Jennings Bryan, and Blanche, all of whom reside at the parental home.
