Belding Banner News, 19 Sep 1907

The funeral of Lucy Sophia Fisk was held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. 
Stoughton, in Otisco Monday afternoon, Sept. 9, Rev. J.W. Sheehan officiating.

Lucy Sophia Keets was born in Deerfield, Franklin county, Mass., Aug. 21, 1813, 
and died in Otisco, Mich., at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Marshall 
Stoughton, Sept. 7, 1907.  The early years of her life were spent in the 
vicinity of her birthplace.

She was united in marriage to Nathaniel Fisk in 1834.  In 1838 she, with her 
husband and daughter (both of whom preceded her to the better world) came to 
Michigan and joined that noble army of pioneers who transformed a wilderness 
into the beautiful country it is today.

Her gentle sympathetic and cheerful disposition endeared her to all who knew 
her and did much to brighten the lives of those around her and to lighten the 
trials and burdens incident to pioneer life.  During the last years of her long 
life her mind was unimpaired and her kind words of hope and council will be 
cherished by those who so tenderly cared for her.  It has been said she never 
had an enemy.  She leaves besides her many friends, three daughters, Mrs. Janet 
Root of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Marshall Stoughton of Otisco and Mrs. Fred L. Reeves 
of Belding, four grandchildren and one great grandchild.  Dying as she lived, 
loving and loving and loved by all, her memory is truly a benediction.
