HOWARD COUNTY 1893 Sudden Death of Samuel Hopkins - Arrested for an Alleged Assault. ELLICOTT CITY, MD. Feb. 16. - Mr. Samuel Hopkins, one of the best-known citizens and land-holders of Howard county, died Wednesday morning at his home, "Whitehall," near Highland, aged fifty-five years. His death was entirely unexpected and is supposed to have been from heart trouble. He was a son of the late Joseph Hopkins of Anne Arundel county, and a nephew of the late Johns Hopkins. Mr. Hopkin's surviving brothers are Lewis N. Hopkins, city collector of Baltimore, Joseph S. Hopkins, of Baltimore, and Gerard T. Hopkins, a land-owner and agriculturist of Gloucester county, Va. He leaves a widow, a daughter of the late John Smith, of Montgomery county, and five children, three daughters and two sons. Mr. Hopkins had lived in Howard county for about thirty years. About twenty years ago he was president of the board of county commissioners. He was always identified with and interested in public movements for the general welfare. He was especially well known in matters pertaining to the granze or other farmers' organizations. In politics he was a democrat. His death occasioned all the more surprise because of the excellent health and splendid physique which he always seemed to enjoy.
Robert R. Moore, one of the oldest citizens and an elder of the Friends' meeting was laid to rest in the old burying-ground near Sandy Spring village Wednesday last. He had been a resident of this place since 1843, and had identified himself with most of the progressive enterprises of the community, from the founding of the Montgomery Mutual Fire Insurance Company in 1847 to the recently formed telephone company, and he served the insurance company as active secretary for some forty-five years. His wife, formerly Hadassah J. Townsend, of Baltimore, survives him, after a wedded life of more than sixty years spent together. He also leaves three children - Joseph T., William W. and Esther T. Moore; ten grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. /2 [Mo?] 95

REV. DR. FISHER'S SUDDEN DEATH.
Whilst Sitting at the Table He was Stricken with Heart Disease - His Long and Usefull Career as Clergyman, Editor and Publisher.
Rev. Charles G. Fisher, D. D., editor of the Reformed Messenger, died suddenly at his residence, 1614 Wallace street, Philadelphia, at noon Tuesday. He was at the publication house during the morning and returned to his house at noon for lunch He and the members of the family had just seated themselves at the table. Nothing was noticable in his actions or manner until the family, perceiving a long pause just before the customary blessing upon the meal, and, looking up, they found that he had expired. He had not uttered a sound or made a movement. A physician who was hastily summoned pronounced death to be due to a clot of blood arising from rheumation of the heart. Chas. G. Fisher was a son of the Rev. Dr. Samuel R. Fisher and was born Dec. 28, 1837. His youth and early manhood was spent in Chambersburg academy he entered Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, from which he graduated in 1858. After a short connection with the Chambersburg Academy as one of its teachers, he entered the Theological Seminary at Mercersburg, from which he graduated shortly after the war, and he was licensed to preach by Mercersburg classis in 1866. Grindstone Hill was his first charge, after which he served five years as pastor of the Boehm's church, in Montgomery county. He then became pastor of the Reformed church in Winchester, Va. In 1880 he became associated with the Reformed Publication House in Philadelphia, and at the time of the death of his father in June, 1881, who was editor of the Messenger and general superintendent of the publication establishment, his son became his successor. Upon the resignation of Rev. Dr. Davis as editor in chief of the Messenger, in 1887, the publication interests of the church were committed to his charge under a lease, by which he became the proprietoy. He has managed the affairs of the establishment with success and a profit to the church. At the time of his death, Dr. Fisher was treasurer of the Educational Society of the Reformed church, a member of the Board of Visitors of the Theological Seminary at Lancaster, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Daniel Stine Home for ministers at Myerstown, Pa. He received his degree of Doctor of Divinity from Franklin and Marshall College. Dr. Fisher, like his father, was widely known throughout the Reformed church. He was familiar with its history, and interested in all its enterprises. He had a large circle of friends, and his death will be deeply regretted by all who knew him. He was very genial and companionable. He had large experience as a publisher, and a wide acquaintance among newspaper men. He leaves a widow and four children, a daughter, Mrs. William Clark, of Asbury Park, Nellie, Samuel and Charles. Whilst a student in Mercersburg he was editor, for a time, of the Journal, and he was the prime mover in reviving MercersCollege, having successfully re-opened the institution as its principal. Dr. Fisher was in Chambersburg on the 17th inst., and in Hagerstown on the following day attending to business in the settling up of the estate of Miss. Wilhelmina May, of which he was an executor and one of the heirs. He was a great grandson of John Gruber, the founder of the Hagerstown almanack, and was the owner of one-third interest in that annual. Miss Frederica Gruber, grand-aunt of Dr. Fisher, died in Hagerstown on Tuesday night, about nine hours after the death of her nephew. Her death removed the last member of the Gruber family. By these two deaths, happening almost simultaneously, and only a few weeks after that of of Miss. Wilhelmina May, the ownership of the old and well known journal passes into the hands of distant relatives, after having been in the Gruber family for many years. The funeral of Dr. Fisher takes place to-day at 2 p.m. Interment private.
