HEART ATTACK FATAL TO DR. FRANK FISHER
Was On Annual Deer Hunting Trip In The Black Hills Of South Dakota
Funeral services for Dr. Frank Fisher were held Monday afternoon, November 12 in the Wilson Funeral Chapel. Rev. Walter Ross officiated and burial was in Rose Hill cemetery.
The crowd attending the funeral overflowed the chapel and loud speakers were set up in Mt. Calvary Lutheran church and the Eagle Grove Greenhouse both located nearby.
Dr. Fisher, 67, had died of a heart attack while on a deer hunting trip near Hills City in the Black Hills of South Dakota. His death was placed as Thursday morning, Nov. 8.
Deer Hunting Trip
He was accompanied on the trip by William Floyd, Russell Smith and Hubert Banks. The men had gone to Dakota on Tuesday, Oct. 30 for a 10-day hunting trip. Dr. Fisher and Floyd had been making the annual trip for nearly 25 years.
The hunting expedition for that Thursday had been planned the night before by the men and when Dr. Fisher did not return at noon the men thought possibly he was on the trail of a deer. When he did not return at night searching parties were organized to comb the area where the doctor was supposed to be located.
Searching Parties
Friday morning additional searching parties were organized and it was during this systematic, planned search that his body was found. Floyd was with the South Dakota man who found him. Dr. Fisher had been sitting on a rock with his rifle in readiness for a deer.
Death apparently came instantly without giving Dr. Fisher a chance to fire the distress signal of hunters in the woods.
His failure to return from hunting on schedule and the subsequent organization of the search parties attracted wide attention. Stories of the search were carried on all the midwest wire services and published in many of the big midwestern papers. Eagle Grove long distance wires were busy carrying messages and requests for additional information by the news agencies.

He also held numerous records and medals for shooting.
