Civil War Veteran, 13th Vermont Volunteers.
Edward Anson Fisk, son of Anson Fisk, was born in Waitsfield, February 1, 1842. He was of the old Puritan stock, his ancestors coming to this country and settling in Salem, Mass., about 1637. He was one of the early settlers of Waitsfield. He was married November 28, 1878 to Lillian A. Ramsay, of Waitsfield, who was born in St. Johnsbury, Vt. Children, Annie L., Charles E., Anson H., and Harold H. He enlisted August 18, 1862, and helped to organize Company B. He was never sick enough to be in the hospital, or off duty for any length of time. At Gettysburg he was slightly wounded by a piece of spent shell, which struck his right knee, just as the regiment started on its charge of July 2nd. Though bruised and lamed he did not leave the field and took part in all the movements of the regiment to the last. He was utterly exhausted by these hardships and was sick at Brattleboro with what proved to be typhoid fever when he reached home. This nearly cost him his life. He was a farmer and resided in Waitsfield till 1895 when he removed to the neighboring town of Fayston where he lived till 1906 when he returned to Waitsfield. He was selectman six years in Waitsfield, also school director three years. Chairman of school board in Fayston seven years, also auditor. He represented Fayston in legislature in 1902.
