After retiring Dr. and Mrs. Fisher moved to Bris- tol, Virginia, to live with their son. Garland Fisher. Dr. Fisher was proud that 44 years of his life had been spent as an educator, 29 of which were spent as president of Millersburg College, a boarding school for girls, which he owned and operated in Millers- burg, Kentucky. They finally leased this property to the Millersburg Military Institute, a preparatory school for boys. Dr. and Mrs. Fisher lived a long happy life. He passed away at the age of 97; she, 94. This copy of the closing exercises presented at Abingdon District High in 1883, was obtained through the kindness of Dr. Fisher ' s niece. Miss Felica Dickenson, of New York City. Castlewood was known then as Bickley Mills. The names of those giving orations may reveal to someone an obscure ancestor. ANNUAL Sermon, rev- D- V- Price June 8th, 10 o’clock, A.

Through The Years The field day was a big event which was held annually in the spring. The all-important occasion consisted of races such as the potato race, sack race, climbing the greasy pole, and catching the greasy pig. Note the old Model T in the foreground. s c h: o o Xa .
