Notes:

Died:
Mr. Joseph Fish, who was a resident of Rush Lake township for nearly 40 years, died at his home at Mallard Wednesday. He had some bronchial ailment. The funeral was held Friday. Services were conducted at the Latterday Saints church in Mallard by Elder C. J. Hunt. The burial was in the Rush Lake cemetery. There was a large procession of old friends and neighbors.

Mr. Fish was born at Radstock, near Bath, England, August 20, 1837. He came to America in 1865. He spent five years in Illinois. He moved to Ft. Dodge, Iowa, in 1870. During his early life he followed mining for a living. In 1871 he came to Rush Lake township, this county, and took up a homestead. He was industrious and frugal and he prospered. June 29, 1874, he was married at Ft. Dodge to Miss Mary Hodgoon, who survives him. Mr. and Mrs. Fish moved from their farm to Mallard a short time ago. There are six sons and daughters living - William, Lizzie, Robert, Martha, Benjamin, and Edith.

Mr. Fish was a typical representative of the great race from which he sprung. He was methodical and painstaking and he was tireless in his efforts to advance every good cause with which his judgment told him he should associate himself. He was exemplary in his habits and his citizenship ranked with the most useful and helpful in our county. He was a man of well founded convictions and religious subject. He could see a higher, a more serious purpose in life than in enjoying himself or in hoarding up a few dollars. He sought to learn God's will in the direction of the social and moral welfare of his home community and to carry it out to be guided, of course, by the light of conscience and duty. The influence of his worthy career will be enduring benefit to the neighborhood that knew him so long and in which he spent so many active years. The sympathy of all is extended to the wife and family in their sorrow.
