LOCAL WOOD CARVER
MAKES WOOD PLAQUE OF LINCOLN
----------
Clarence Fischer, who lives in Meridian street, has recently finished a plaque of Abraham Lincoln, which is carved entirely of wood. It bears a striking resemblance to the Civil War President and has been the occasion of considerable favorable comment by art-lovers of the community.Saturday, February 23, 1935

LOCAL WOOD CARVER
MAKES WOOD PLAQUE OF LINCOLN
----------
In connection with his latest production, it is interesting to note that Mr. Fischer is descended from a long line of wood carvers.
His name was Christian Fischer, and he was the first wood-carver to place his art on a commercial basis. In 1825, he organized a wood-carver guild that has grown to the extent that today Switzerland is noted as a country of wood-carvers.
His great-grandson, Joan, father of Clarence, came to this country in 1878 and continued his wood carving. Now his eyes have failed him and he can no longer carve, but he has transmitted his love of the art to his son. Clarence.
Where all his forebears carved out their masterpieces by the laborious hand method, Clarence now employs electrically-driven tools, except for the finest work. Thus he was able to complete his latest production in about five hours, where days and weeks might have been required with the hand-carving method.

WIFE SAYS HUSBAND
OPENLY COURTED RIVAL
----------
Mrs. Jewell Fischer, 128 Second street filed a complaint in the Shelby circuit court today for a divorce from Herbert Fischer, to whom she was married March 11, 1914. The separation of the couple took place March 26, this year. Mrs. Fischer is represented by Billman & Sheperd, attorneys.
Allegations are made in the complaint that Mr. Fischer possessed a roving disposition and for this reason did not remain established in any one position, therefore he failed to support his wife and their two children. He would leave for ten days to three weeks periods without making any provision for the support of the plaintiff and the children. Mrs. Fischer charges that she was forced to accept support from her father half of the time.
Cruel treatment is charged in that the defendant struck and cursed the plaintiff, who also alleges that he kept another woman named Florence Bennett at the house and openly made love to her. The Bennett woman came to the house as a boarder, the complaint states, but after the first week she made no further payments for the service she received. Mr. Fischer has served a term at the Indiana penal farm for violation of the liquor law, the plaintiff states.
