Biographical History
Wood engraver and portrait and landscape painter in Blue Hill, Maine. Also clergyman, author, poet, linguist, inventor, farmer, surveyer, architect, naturalist, missionary, and teacher.
Congregational clergyman, author, and engraver, of Blue Hill, Me.
Jonathan Fisher (1768-1847), son of Jonathan and Catharine Avery Fisher, was born in New Braintree, Mass. He graduated from Harvard College in 1792 and then spent three years at Cambridge, Mass., as a resident graduate studying theology and language, particularly Hebrew. He was licensed to preach in 1793 and in 1794 and 1795 he served as "summer pastor" for the Congregational Church at Blue Hill, Maine. He was ordained by that church in 1796 and became Blue Hill's first settled minister. He preached there for 41 years, retiring in 1837. He married Dolly Battle (1770-1853) of Dedham, Mass., in 1796. He was elected a Trustee of the Bangor Theological Seminary in 1814.
During his lifetime, Fisher displayed "unusual talents" in the fields of painting, wood engraving, writing of poetry and prose, science, mathematics, surveying, and farm management. While in college he devised a unique shorthand, which he used in writing his sermons. Fisher died in Blue Hill.
