   “ Mr. Fisher’s devotion to the Sons of Confederate Veterans was evidenced by the fact that he attended all of the General Confederate Reunions, and was recognized throughout the South as one of the great leaders of their cause. He gave unsparingly of his time and resources to preserve the memories of the cause for which his father fought, and that cause was to him a constant source of inspiration for better work toward a reunited country. His traditions enhanced his patriotism. On many occasions he showed his kindness for the feeble Confederate Veterans. He was their stalwart friend and firm supporter. On the trip to the Confederate Reunion in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1929, his loving ministrations to General Cortez Kitchen (who was fatally stricken en route, and died in Charlotte) were forever remembered.” Edward C. Fisher himself passed away the following year, while on vacation in Rochester, Minnesota. (February 17th 1930) He was 55 years old.
