Who Is George A Fischer?
Birth: 27 MAR 1808 • Langenau, Alb-Donau-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (?)
Death: Unknown
Georgena Hendy’s August 7, 1890, letter to her future husband, Albert G. Fischer, mentions a visit from “your cousin Geo and Roy.” Roy is almost certainly Carrie Fischer Filkins’ son (and Albert’s nephew). However, the exact identity of Albert’s “cousin Geo” is still a mystery, though it appears he played a significant role in Albert’s business dealings–and lived in the same household for a time.
There was a George A. Fischer living with Albert and his mother Henrietta at 736 South Street in Springfield in 1999, according to the city directory. In addition, his business is shown as G. A. Fischer, cigar manufacturer–and both Albert and Mollie are shown as workers for G. A. Fischer.
Albert’s October 1, 1895, letter to Georgena is written on letterhead showing G. A. Fischer as the successor to Fischer & Ferneau. By 1897, however, a newspaper article about Albert’s cigar business used the name A. G. Fischer.
The St. Louis city directory shows a George Fischer in the cigar and tobacco industry, starting by at least 1872. The information shown in the family tree below is the product of an effort to find additional information on this George A. Fischer–and to track down sources explaining the relationship between George and Albert’s father Frederick, perhaps leading to clues about Frederick’s parentage. Unfortunately, none were found, and, even the information on George A. is inconsistent and inconclusive. However, it is being maintained because what we do know about the George A. Fischer living with Albert’s family seems worthy of further consideration and research.
Here are a few other bits of information that may (or may not) fit into the puzzle of our family history:
- Before the article on A. G. Fischer’s factory was published in October 1897, several advertisements for G. A. Fischer cigars appeared in the Springfield paper during the summer of 1897.
- In May 1898, an advertisement for the sale of a business owned by G. A. Fischer appeared in the Springfield paper.
- In March 1900, the Springfield paper published several articles on the disappearance of cigar manufacturer Al G. Fischer, who was renting space over Holland’s bank. This article lays out the details, but it is not clear how (or if) this A. G. Fischer might be related to our A. G. (or G. A.) Fischer.
It may be only coincidence, but 1900 was also the year Albert moved his family and business from Springfield to Chickasha, though his mother and brother remained in Springfield for at least another three years.
