March 30 -- Another of our oldest and most esteemed citizens has left us for the better land. March 25th Hiram Fish, aged 87, died at the residence of his son-in-law, James Rankin, in this village. Mr. Fish had been in failing health for several years and the winter past had not been able to leave the house. He became a resident of this town 50 years ago. His native home was Ira, VT. When he came here he bought a farm about 1 1/2 miles from Massena Center, remaining there until failing health and the infirmity of years prompted him to leave the farm to his youngest son, H.R. Fish, and seek a quiet home with his youngest daughter, Mrs. James Rankin. Through industry and wise frugal management Mr. Fish became one of the best well-to-do farmers in this part of the county. Of his abundance he gave liberally to the church of his choice (the Baptist) and other benevolent objects.
