      Schaer, Maurice P., son of Fred and Estella (Stuckey) Schaer, was born at Kalona, Iowa, May 29, 1914; died at his home, on Jan. 9, 1986; aged 71 y. On Oct. 14, 1933, he was married to Inez Heiser, who survives. Also surviving are 2 daughters (Joan Cender and Virginia Oyer), 4 grandchildren, one brother (Fred Schaer) and 3 sisters (Mabel Gerig, Fern Herkless, and Etta Eckerman). He was a member of East Bend Mennonite Church, where funeral services were held on Jan. 12, in charge of Paul O. King and Ivan Birkey; interment in East Bend Memorial Park.

      Take from Fisher Centennial book:

      “In 1938, M.P. Schaer moved to the old Valentine Birkey farm, ¼ mile north of the Mennonite church, after having farmed the Chris Good farm for four years.

      In 1962, Mr. Schaer sold the trucking business and moved back to the farm. In 1962, he returned to Fisher and bought the Springer Implement Company located on Front Street and operated it for twelve years.”
