Death of John Fisk.
On Sunday Morning at the usual hour of worship, in the little church of which he was for long years an active member, occurred the funeral service for John Fisk who died January 22d, 1909, after an illness of long duration.
Brother Fisk was born in Brookfield, April 5th, 1821. With the exception of about two years when he lived in Virginia, he had spent his life in our town and village, a friend to all and a citizen of sterling character. Mr. Fisk had five brothers and two sisters all of whom are deceased. He is survived by one son, Milo L. Fisk of Williamstown, and two daughters, Mrs. Frances Maine and Mrs. Louise Poppleton, both of Brookfield.
Our departed brother was not only a soldier in the army of the Potomac, enlisting Aug. 26, 1864, in response to Lincoln's last call, being a member of the 189th New York, a company of which he was corporal, but a warrior for Jesus Christ. Converted when quite young, always a regular attendant at the means of grace, ever ready to witness for Christ, seeking first, always, the things of the Kingdom of God, we may say truthfully, that he was a Christian in no ordinary sense of the term. By trade a mechanic he was also a lover of God's out-of-doors, following the occupation of farming. He was a member of Searle Post and is the third of this organization to answer the final roll call within the last two months. Our village mourns the loss of father, brother, comrade and friend. Indeed a good man is gone to his reward. P.
