Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, December 27, 1890
The Death of one of the Oldest and Most Prominent Citizens of This City. Dec. 21 at 2 o'clock a. m. one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Montgomery county passed away at his home on the corner of Green and Pike street. Mr. Doherty has been a sufferer from heart disease for a long time and for the last few days has been ill beyond recovery, his death being only a matter of days and hours. The funeral occurred Sunday at 2 p. m., Dr. R. J. Cunningham and Rev. E. B. Thomson officiating. The burial was at Oak Hill.
Fisher Doherty was born in Columbus, Ohio, on May 25, 1817, thus being 73 years old at the time of his death. Fifty-one years ago next April he was married to Sarah Owens, who survives him. Three children blessed their union, Marshall and Matthew, both living, and Mrs. John B. Robb, deceased. In January, 1844, Mr. Doherty and family removed to this city where they have since resided, he engaging in the manufacture of wagons and carriages. Probably no citizen of the county was better known than Fisher Doherty. He was distinguished not only as a business man but as a reformer. He was one of the original and most uncompromising Abolitionists and was known for his views all over the State. Crawfordsville became one of the main stations of the underground railway and Mr. Daugherty's house was the stopping place of all runaway slaves struggling toward Canada. He is said to have assisted hundreds on their way and spent much time and money most cheerfully in this manner. He was also one of the earliest of the advocates of temperance, and while not a member of the Prohibition party he has been one of the leaders of temperance reform in this city. In all charitable enterprises he has taken a most active part and will long be remembered by the city's poor, he was not a church member, but a regular attendant of Center Presbyterian church. He was a believer in spiritualism but it in no wise interfered with his respect for other religions. In his death Crawfordsville loses one of her best citizens, a man eminent for his many good works and who leaves no enemies behind him.

"Strange Experience. A Medium Surpasses D. D. Home - Eats Fire - Spirit Pictures - Proposition to take Poison." Letter from Fisher Doherty to Brother Jones. [From the Religio-Philosophical Journal.]
     "Again, the State Association of Photographists met in Indianapolis while we had our spirit gallery there. Many of the artists of the city, and those of other places, had been charging us with practicing a humbug, or deception upon the credulity of the people, and some had sent us imitations of spirit pictures. I sent a proposition to the association, that we would submit to the most rigid rules of investigationbut they refused to come to our gallery, saying that we must go to one of their galleries, and with their camera and material, produce the results that we claimed to be able to produce. They were careful never to give us an invitiation; naming time and place. So the angels said to us, in the language which Lord Bacon attributes to Mohammed: 'If the mountain will not come to you, you must go to it.' Without any arrangement or understanding with any of the artists, my son went to the largest and finest gallery in the city, which was being conducted by Mr. Fowler. 'I have come,' said my son, 'to your gallery, that the angels may give your association the proof demanded of the truth of spirit pictures.' Mr. Fowler requested him to divest himself of coat, vest and boots, and empty his pockets, which he immediately complied with; and then Mr. Fowler made a thorough search of his person for any remaining thing or substance about him, by means of which a trick or deception might be practices; and finding nothing, he prepared a plate, himself, and put it in the camera, and when he developed it, there was a fine spirit face on the plate. Mr. Fowler became very much excited, and remarked that he would have testied [sic] in zny court that spirit photogrpahy was a humbug, but that now he was willing to testify to its truth. We went with him to Jusstice Peter Smoke's office in Indianapolis, and there on file is Harry Fowler's oath, that there was no deception or trickery used in producing that result. My son merely stood by the camera with one hand resting on the top of it." 
     "I have opened a gallery in this place, for the purpose of taking spirit pictures, for all that may come or send photograph, at the low price of $2, for the result; or will give sittings and send the results that may occur in the five trials, for $2. Crawfordsville, Ind."
