My great uncle, Charles Frederick Pfisterer, was born in Rotherham, Yorkshire to German immigrants. Apart from their children's birth certificates, they seem to have adopted the Name of "Fisher" in England.
Charles Frederick Fisher emigrated to the States in 1883 +/- 1-3 years. He settled in Flint River, Des Moines, Iowa, married Mary Knapp with whom he had 6 children (one died as an Infant). Sometimes the children call themselves "Fischer".
Edgar William Fisher was the second son. I have found all the others, as well as spouses and children but Edgar has eluded me for many years now.
When Charles Fisher's wife died in 1948 in Burlington, Iowa, Edgar was noted as one of the survivors, living in South Dakota.
In FindMyPast World Newspapers with just "Fischer" I found a report that his mother who had not heard from him in 15 yesrs, had written her son whom she found through World Veterans Bureau Records, asking him to visit home. Date of newspaper 1936. He was expected to do so. In the newspaper article he is named Edward William Fischer
My question is: How can I find these records? I also am unable to find his death.
