He was born Sept. 4, 1922, at Greeley, Neb., to Jennis Jennings Fisher and Deborah Perry Fisher. He was the oldest of five children. When he was very young, the family moved to Sandpoint, Idaho, later relocating to the Twin Falls area south of Hansen. As a young man, Melvin went to Ruby Valley in Nevada, working on the Pataan Ranch for several years. In November 1942, he enlisted in the Army with the 325th Field Artillery Battalion, serving in Germany, and was honorably discharged in January 1946. He married Jeanne McKenna on March 4, 1946, and they spent the next 60-plus years together. Early in their marriage, they lived near Lakeview, Ore., where Melvin worked with the Department of Fish and Wildlife. They moved to Reno and then Lovelock, Nev., where he worked several years for the Eagle Pitcher Co. In 1966, they moved the family to Twin Falls, where he worked 20 years for Rocky Mountain Harvestore and later for Wolverton Farms. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Jeanne Fisher of Hansen; three daughters, Christine (Larry) Herth of Yuma, Ariz., Catherine Harmon of Hansen and Janis Hurd (Stan) of Hammond, Ore.; as well as by one son, Roger Fisher of Twin Falls.
