TWO HONORED
ECUSTA MOTHER
With Mother’s Day coming on Sunday, May 9,
it’s appropriate in this month’s Echo to honor
two mothers here at Ecusta who portray so out
standingly the spirit of all the mothers who will
be remembered on "their day.”
Probably the oldest employee of Ecusta whose
mother is still living is Frank Fisher of the Clean
er Crew who is assigned to the TT building. Mr.
Fisher will be 64 the 29th of May and his mother,
Mrs. Etta Mae Fisher will be 86 on May 13,
four days after Mother’s Day. Mrs. Fisher lives
with her only daughter, Mrs. Harriett McCall ,in
the Gloucester section. Moving to the section when
she was a youngster of 12, Mrs. McCall has been
living in the county for almost 75 years.
Although she has been bedfast for the last few
years, Mrs. Fisher is still in fairly good health and
maintains a good outlook on life. She has nine
living children—eight boys and one girl—Mr.
Frank Fisher being the oldest of the children. As
mentioned above, Mrs. McCall is the only daugh
ter and the boys are Frank, Roland, Walter, Bill,
Christopher, Jennings, Dudley, and Obie. All of
them live in Transylvania County.
Nine of Mrs. Fisher’s grandchildren are em
ployed here. They are Monroe McCall, Inspec
tion; Woodrow Fisher, Pulp Mill; Lawrence Fish
er, Champagne Printing; Millie O’Dell, Betty
Fisher, Lowee Hampton, Belva Fisher, Ruth
