Daniel Brian Fisher

Daniel Brian Fisher was a small child at the center of a close family in Waterville, Maine. Public records and contemporary accounts identify him as the four‑year‑old son of Carl and Constance Fisher and a younger brother to Richard and Deborah. Though Daniel’s life was brief, available sources show he lived in a working‑class household in Waterville where his father worked for the Maine Central Railroad and the family belonged to the local community.

What survives in the public record about Daniel are the basic, sorrowful facts: he was a young boy in a family with deep ties to Waterville, and he was cherished by relatives who later grieved him as a son and a brother. Local reporting and later summaries that reference the 1954 Waterville tragedy note the names and ages of the children and the family’s residence in the town; those sources consistently identify Daniel as four years old at the time of his death on March 8, 1954.

There are no family‑published remembrances or standalone obituary notices located in the accessible online archives that match Daniel’s full name and exact date of death. Because published personal details are limited in surviving public accounts, this remembrance focuses on Daniel’s identity within his family: a little boy whose presence mattered in the everyday life of a Waterville household. Even when historical records are sparse, it is important to acknowledge the human life behind the entries — a child with a name, a place in a family, and people who loved him.

If family members or local archives (for example, Waterville or Kennebec County newspaper archives, funeral‑home records, or the Maine State Library obituary resources) hold additional personal details or photographs, those materials would help preserve a fuller, more personal tribute to Daniel’s short life. For now, we honor him by recording his name and the basic, verified facts so that his existence and the value of his life are not forgotten.
