Obituary from the Ottumwa Courier:
"Edward Curtis Fisk, son of Richard and Mahala Fisk, was born July 31, 1811 at Wickham Market England. Removed with his parents to New York, U.S.A. nine years later, where he spent his young manhood, then went to Ohio, where he was married March 15, 1841, to Araminta Wood. They at once emigrated to Iowa and settled in Jefferson county, passing the most of their lives in the state. He spent two years in California among the early gold hunters going overland in 1850. Ten children were born to them and grew to maturity, all but one living at present; also an orphan boy who shared their love and care equally with their own. For fifty-four years they walked side by side, and their hospitality, love and Christian example have made a shining path through this world. Father Fisk was converted at twenty years of age and his saintly life and thorough Christian teaching are an inspiration to his posterity, and many others who came under his loving influence. He was wholly sanctified in 1889, and was a staunch advocate of the doctrine of holiness as taught by Wesley and the Bible. He died April 5, 1895, at the home of his daughter near Ottumwa, victorious in death's dark hour, through the love of that God he had served so faithfully for over sixty years. He was buried at Christianburg, followed by a large number of sorrowing friends."
