Excerpt from Poems Benjamin Franklin Fisher was born at Steubenville, Ohio, on the 22nd day of Decem ber, 1873. His father was Dr. Benjamin H. Fisher, a physician and surgeon who success fully practised his profession there for many years. Dr. Fisher served as a surgeon in the Civil War, and continued in his profession until his death in November, 1906. He was married in early life to Elizabeth Rittenhouse who was born at Hopedale in Jefferson County, Ohio. Benjamin was one of four children, Bartley, Jennie, Benjamin and Clar ence, the first of whom died at the age of six years, Jennie and Clarence still surviving. Benjamin's early education was obtained in the public schools of Steubenville, where he was graduated from the High School in 1892. He then went to Depauw University at Green castle, Indiana, and pursued collegiate studiesthere for about two years. His first literary work was begun at this time in some brief articles and poems which appeared in the col lege publications. Leaving college in 1895 he made an extended tour of Europe, travelling almost continuously for a year, giving much attention to the study of foreign languages and art. Returning home, he entered Ober lin College where he continued his studies, and later in 1899 returned to Depauw University. In all of his college work especial attention and study was given to literature and the fine arts.
