'''A photo and query from August Fisher's granddaughter:'''<br> | |||
''I inherited this photo from my grandmother, Elsa Henrich Fisher, who passed away in 1968. The typed info at the bottom was handwritten on the back of the photo, along with Mrs. Mary G Linkman's obituary. I never knew my grandfather, as he died in December 1933 while my mother was still in college....way before I was born.... ''<br> | |||
''One of my cousins is wondering, that since my grandfather was a co-founder/co-partner in M. Linkman and Co., did his share in the company pass to his wife Elsa/or 3 children when he died in 1933? I know the company grew for the next 20 years, and that Mr. Linkman didn't retire until 1952 and then passed away in 1957. Who was the land at Fullerton and Racine purchased from where the factory was built in 1922? When the building at 1150 W Fullerton in Chicago was sold, how much did it sell for? Who benefited? I know one of his sons, Glenn J Fisher, was listed as Treasurer on a letterhead, along with Mr. Linkman's step-son, Arthur Dobler, as VP in later years.'' | |||
Anyone that might be able to help provide information as to the building and property, or any other details to the family can send them to sethile.pipes@gmail.com, and I will happily forward them to Nancy. | |||
