  [S926] Find-A-Grave, (www.findagrave.com). Joseph Fischer Birth: 20 Jan 1862 Death: 1 Apr 1893 (aged 31) Dickinson, Stark County, North Dakota, USA Burial: Unknown Memorial #: 114490194 Bio: Joseph Fischer born in Sulz, Russia. He immigrated to America along with his wife Cecelia and 5 children arriving in New York on Jun 22, 1892. Tragically Cecelia died in the flu epidemic in August of 1892 along with her two young sons, Antonious and Nikolaus. The 8 months later Joseph died in a train accident.Taken from the DICKINSON PRESS dated April 8, 1893: "Last Saturday morning Joseph Fischer, a Russian, was accidentally killed. He had been stationed with two other men at bridge No. 280, this side of Lehigh. A fire was kindled at one end of the bridge near which the men gathered to keep warm during the night. The unfortunate man went up on the bridge to take a look just as engine No. 702 came along. It is not known, so far as we can learn, whether the man jumped into the turbulent stream or was swept in by the engine. The man's lantern had gone out and the engineer could not see into the darkness to tell what was before them. Three young children are made orphans as a result of the sad accident."The three young orphans were Albertina, Michael, and Peter Fischer. They were raised by family members. Joseph, Cecelia, Nikolaus and Antonious Fischer are believed to be buried in Saint Patrick's Church Cemetery 310 2nd Street West Dickinson, ND 58601 701-483-6700. The family story is the original gravesite markers were wooden crosses that have since rotted away. Their names are not recorded on the City of Dickinson Cemetery Database and the cemetery office has no record of them.
