The Randolph Society Foundation Board is pleased to announce that Dr. George Fisher, a pioneering physician, public servant and entrepreneur, will be inducted into the 2025 class of honorees.
George Fisher, the son of a blacksmith, was born in Virginia in the years just before the Revolutionary War. After reaching his majority, Fisher received his inheritance. That money may have helped to fund his medical studies, which, according to family tradition, may have taken him to Germany for a period of time. Back in America, he settled down to begin his career as a physician and start a family of his own. He welcomed several children with his first wife in Virginia, and later, he married again in Illinois and expanded his family once more.
