Nathaniel Fisk, an old and esteemed resident of Otisco, died yesterday, at the 
advanced age of 76 years.  The funeral will occur at 1:30 p.m. at the Baptist 
Church, Cook’s Corners.

Nathaniel Fisk, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the township 
of Otisco, died at his home half a mile south of Cook’s Corners on Wednesday, 
March 21.  The funeral took place at Cook’s Corners this afternoon.  Mr. Fisk 
settled in Otisco and located the farm where he died in 1839, and was always a 
hard-working, industrious citizen and well-to-to farmer.  He emigrated from 
Massachusetts to Michigan, coming from Detroit to Ionia with teams, and 
belonged to that steady Puritan stock that settled so much of the township of 
Otisco.  He was married in Massachusetts before coming west to Miss Sophia 
Keats, who survives him.  Four children were born of this union, all daughters, 
three of whom are now living, viz:  Mrs. Marshal Stoughton, of Otisco; Mrs. 
F.L. Reeves and Mrs. W.E. Root of Ionia.  It only lacks a year of half a 
century since the Fisks settled in Otisco, and they have during all these years 
been held in the highest esteem by all their neighbors and acquaintances.  
Deceased was 77 years of age. – Ionia Sentinel, March 23.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation of “1888” on the obituary card.  He 
was buried in Otisco Cemetery.]
