1. David IV & Mary Ann McDonald Fisher House Marker

Inscription. David Fisher, an outside foreman at the Ontario Mine in Park City, used his earnings to purchase a four-acre lot at 400 South and 100 East in Heber City. There, he and his wife, Mary Ann McDonald, built an elegant Queen Anne-style brick home, completed in 1893 and titled in 1896. This residence, the first in Heber City to feature a furnace, became home to their family of eight surviving children. Shortly after its completion, David retired from mining, and the family lived there continuously. Returns from their mining claims provided financial security in their later years. David was a highly respected figure in the community, admired for his humility and integrity. Paired with Mary Ann's legendary wit and exceptional home management, their partnership created a life of comfort and fulfillment. The home remains a testament to their industriousness and enduring legacy in Heber City.

Erected by Heber City.
