George FLEISHER (1818-1887) was a younger brother of Henry. There was very little about George Fleisher on www.rootsweb.com BUT the grave yard tells the story. George Fleisher married Juliana , who was born in 1818. Their infant daughter was born in 1843; she only lived one day. Their son, William Henry was born in March 1845. On November 3, 1845 Juiliana Fleisher died leaving a six month old son. 

George  remarried Elizabeth (1824-1900).  Elizabeth was six years younger than George.  In 1849 Elizabeth gave birth to a son, Silas. George's son, William Henry Fleisher, died 21 January, 1851 at the age of 5 years and nine months.  After that they had two daughters: Anna Mary was born 1858 and Elizabeth was born 1860. Apparently illness stroke: Elizabeth died April 14, 1864 and Mary Anna died seven days later. In 1864 there were seventeen burials in St. John's Cemetery!

Now it was just George and Elizabeth Fleishher and their son Silas. Silas died 1878 at the age of 29. George died 1887 at the age of 69.  Elizabeth died 1900 at the age of 76.
