Joel S. came to Wisconsin in 1835, made his way to Sheboygan and thence traveled on foot to Green Bay. In the same way he went to Chicago, after which he returned to the east and brought his family to Green Bay in 1836, becoming one of the first settlers in this part of the state. Wisconsin was then under territorial rule. Large sections of the state were still inhabited by Indians, the forests stood in their primeval strength, few roads had been laid out and the work of development and improvement seemed scarcely begun. Mr. Fisk, however, became an active factor in the substantial development of the district in which he took up his abode. He established a general store in Green Bay and for many years was a prominent factor in mercantile and lumbering interests. In 1848 he was elected register of deeds in the land office at Green Bay and he it was who platted the city of Fort Howard, now a part of Green Bay. For a considerable time he served as postmaster and in other ways was active and helpful in the upbuilding of this part of the state. He died in 1877, having for only six weeks survived his wife, Charlotte (Green) Fisk.
