Death of H. M. Fisk.
Mr. Harris M. Fisk, of Jefferson county, six miles north of this city, died Saturday of pneumonia, after an illness of about one week. Mr. Fisk was a native of Waterville, Vermont, and came to Kansas, at the close of the war engaging in the government service with Hon. J. C. Burnett, at the Delaware Indian agency between here and Kansas City. Afterwards he spent several years building railroads as engineer in charge of location and construction. Ten years ago he married Miss Ellen W. Alexander, a home missionary in Utah, and then settled in Dakota. Mr. and Mrs. Fisk, with their two sons, returned to Kansas about four years ago and purchased a farm north of the city. Mr. Fisk was a member of the Methodist church and a Mason. His funeral took place this afternoon at two o'clock from the residence of J. W. Gleed, 16 Greenwood avenue, Potwin Place. Mr. Fisk was a brother of Mrs. C. A. Gleed, Mrs. J. C. Burnett and Joel B. Fisk. A loving husband and father, an ardent believer in the right, a kindhearted, public spirited man, he met death without fear, trusting in his Heavenly Father to care for his own soul and to guard and protect the loved ones left behind. His many friends and relatives will have the sympathy of all.
