About 1865 he came to Bristol where he continued to work at his trade as carpenter and wheelwright until over ninety years of age. About eight years ago he came to West Bloomfield to reside with his son. His health has always been good and in his later years he was able to read coarse print without glasses. He is survived by four sons, Orestes Fletcher of Canandaigua; Oscar and J. Cooley Fletcher of Holcomb, and Everett Fletcher of West Bloomfield; also one brother, Melanction Fletcher, a ninety-years-old resident of Benton Harbor, Mich.
