ALEXANDER G. FISK, D. V. S.

	Dr. Alexander G. Fisk, of Greeley, was born in Lawrence, Kansas, 
August 23, 1881, his parents being Harris M. and Ellen W. (Alexander) 
Fisk, the father a native of Vermont and the mother of New York state. 
The father was an engineer by profession being yet survived by his 
widow.

	Alexander G. Fisk removed with his parents from Lawrence, Kansas, 
to Grand Junction when six years of age and in the latter place he 
received his education. He subsequently entered Cutler Academy at 
Colorado Springs and then became a student in the Agricultural College 
at Fort Colllns, Colorado, continuing his studies in a veterinary 
college at San Francisco, California, which he entered in 1904 and from 
which he was graduated in 1905. He first spent a short time in practice 
at Reno, Nevada, and then removed to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where 
he followed his profession for about two years. On the expiration of 
that period he accepted an appointment in the United States bureau of 
animal industry and his duties in that connection again took him to 
California. After serving for some time in bureau work Dr. Fisk again 
entered upon practice in California, remaining in that state until his 
return to Colorado about a year and a half later. Subsequently he 
practiced in Denver for five years and at the end of that time took 
charge of the live stock department of the Colorado Fuel & Iron 
Company, with headquarters at Trinidad, Colorado. He continued with the 
corporation for five years and on severing his relations therewith came 
to Greeley, where he has been actively and successfully engaged in 
practice to the present time.

	On September 2, 1908, Dr. Fisk was married to Miss Evelyn Murray, 
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Murray, who were numbered among the 
old residents of Salem, Massachusetts. Dr. and Mrs. Fisk have three 
children: Morrell Lois, born February 25, 1910; Lucille Marjorie, born 
September 11, 1912; and Dorothy Ellen, born July 1, 1914.

	Professionally Dr. Fisk is a member of the American Veterinary 
Medical Association and the Colorado Veterinary Medical Society, having 
served as president of the latter institution for one year. Politically 
he is a republican and his religious faith is that of the-Presbyterian 
church. He is a member of the Masonic order. He maintains offices at 
No. 818 Ninth avenue in Greeley and the family residence is situated at 
No. 1112 Twelfth street.
