She was a lady of most estimable character and bore the privations and hardships of pioneer life with the old neighbors of those early days with cheerfulness and fortitude. She was born in Ashfield, Mass., in 1822, her maiden name being Kimberly, and came to Michigan with her father, two sisters and four brothers all of whom have gone to rest, in 1828 and settled in Ann Arbor. In 1843 she married Joseph Fiske and soon settled here, the latter died about 20 years ago. She was the mother of Mrs. Joseph D. Morse and Ambert and Walter Fiske. The funeral service was held today at the house and her remains now rest in the old cemetery in Otisco.
