Session Notes:
He died while in office on March 21, 1911.
The book, The Minnesota Legislature of 1911 by Lynn Haines, states on page 104 about W. A. Fisher, "His illness and death during the session stopped a promising legislative career. Mr. Fisher was able to attend only the first few days of the session, but during that time impressed his progressiveness and patriotism upon all his colleagues. He introduced a number of reform measures of the deepest fundamental importance."
