Story
Col. Samuel H. Fisher was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1867, graduating from Yale University in 1889 and Yale Law School, 1892. He practiced law in Washington, D.C., and New Haven, Conn. In 1916 he became the personal counsel for Mrs. Stephen V. Harkness and her son Edward S. Harkness, a position he held until Fisher retired in 1931. He was a member of the Yale Corporation from 1910-1925 and a member of boards of corporate and charitable institutions. After he retired, he helped organize the Connecticut Highway Safety Commission in 1936, was Connecticut Defense Administrator from 1940-1943, and performed other public service for the state and federal government. He married Margaret Sargent Fisher of New Haven in 1895. They moved to Litchfield in 1920. He died in 1957.
In the 1930s Fisher undertook a project to assemble data on every student who attended the Litchfield Law School from 1774-1833. He conducted research and corresponded with colleges and universities, state libraries, historical societies, and other institutions across the country. He also employed genealogists to track down information. The results of his investigations were published in a book by the Yale Law School Library in conjunction with Yale University Press in 1946.

David Collier Sargent
SARGENT, David Collier David Collier Sargent, loving husband of Jean Thomson Sargent, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Saturday (July 7, 2007). He was born on December 1, 1915, in Greenwich and lived his entire life in this State. His Father, John Sargent and Mother, Anne Hoyt Sargent, were both residents of Greenwich for most of their lives. He attended Phillips Andover Academy, graduating in 1934, and Yale University in 1938. After graduation, he worked in Hartford at the Travelers Insurance Company for his entire career as an underwriter and became an officer of the company. He enlisted two days after Pearl Harbor in the Army and served as a Captain in the Corps of Engineers (Sixth Armored Division) in the European Theater until the end of the War. During the Battle of the Bulge, he became engaged by letter to Jean Thomson, his wife of 62 years. They were married two weeks after the end of the War, and lived in Hartford until 1989. He is survived by Jean, his three children all of whom grew up in Hartford, John H. Sargent and his wife Linda, David T. Sargent and his wife Barbara, and Anne S. Lewchik and her husband Mark; and five grandchildren, Caitlin, Jake, Sarah, Eric, and Lindsay. An avid naturalist, he was a supporter of the Nature Conservancy, helping to preserve a number of areas and endangered species along the shore, particularly his favored piping plovers and ospreys. He served on the boards of a number of non-profit organizations including the Noah Webster House and the Hartford Easter Seal Rehabilitation Center. After retirement, Jean and Dave moved to South Lyme, eventually moving to Essex Meadows for the remainder of his life. While at Essex Meadows he was a founding member of the Board of the Essex Meadows Foundation Scholarship Fund, which has helped many of the people working there to pursue their higher educational dreams. Most of all, he will be remembered as the Poet of Essex Meadows, placing a poem every month, written in rhyme and iambic pentameter, in the Meadowwords newsletter. A private service for the immediate family has been held and therefore there are no calling hours or reception. To best honor David, please send contributions to the Essex Meadows Foundation Scholarship Fund or the Nature Conservancy in Connecticut, 55 High St., Middletown, Connecticut 06457. He lived his life with grace, humility, respect, and good humor. He will be greatly missed.
