Henry married Bratt, Matilda on 26 Nov 1885. Matilda (daughter of Bratt, Gerrit Teunis Jr and Goodman, Frederika) was born on 16 Aug 1860 in Troy, New York, USA; died on 14 Jun 1931 in Albany, Albany, New York, USA; was buried on 17 Jun 1931 in Albany, Albany, New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Buried:
The data on the attached cemetery record cards doesn't quite match, but the likelihood of two Henry S. Fishers passing on the same day, seems remote. The written record, from Fredrika Bratt is strong. The three children placed into this burial box are: John Fisher (dod: may 11, 1893, age 2yrs, 9 days -> dob (cal): May 2, 1891) and Ruth May (dod Jul 6, 1890, age 2 yr, 2 mo -> dob (cal): May 6, 1888), and Henry S. (DoD Apr 28, 1887, 5 yrs, 4 mos, 14 days; DoB (cal) Dec. 14, 1881). It is probable all these are Henry S. Fisher's. They all could be Matilda's, but she and Henry (Sr) don't marry, according to Fredrika's account, until 1885. So, it seems likely John and Ruth are Matilda's and not listed in Fredrika's written record. If only the 1890 census weren't lost in a fire. In 1910 Census, she lists two children deceased (two living, four total). Find-a-grave lists all three children as as Matilda's.
