Second Minister - Settled in Wilton, NH.
Deacon Abel Fiske, son of Abel Fiske and Anna (Spalding) was born in Wilton, New Hampshire on July 24, 1784. He married there on April 12, 1804 to Abigail (Dale), of Wilton, New Hampshire.
He entered Phillips Academy at Exeter at an early age, but was obliged to return home on account of severe illness. He returned to college when able, but was called home on account of the sudden death of his father and it was necessary for him to remain with the family. After his marriage he went to Weld, Me, and spent eleven years. He then returned to Wilton and spent the remainder of his life there. He was a teacher twenty-five years in succession, during the winter months and never missed a winter. His last school, the winter he was 52. He was deacon of the Second Congregational Church in Wilton, New Hampshire, twenty-four years, retiring from the office because he thought it belonged to the younger members. He retained all his mental faculties in a remarkable degree; dying at the age of 93 years, one month, one day. It could be said of his as of Moses: "His eye was not dim." for he never wore spectacles. Was a great reader and read to the very last of his life. He had a large gathering of friends to celebrate his 90th birthday. There were ninety of the members of the family, including ten great-grandchildren. He died on September 25, 1877.
