Lyman Fiske, fifth son of Deacon Moses and Hannah Fiske, was a substantial citizen in Waitesfield, Vt., and a deacon of the Congregational Church in that place. He was a cooper by trade and followed farming most of his life.
No one acquainted with the religious history of the town of Waitesfield can forget the constant part in it of Deacon Fisk. Almost from the beginning of the Congregational organization he has been identified with it. Deacon Fisk's very name is both an honored inheritance and an honored legacy. On the 8th of Nov., 1801, his father became a member of the church, and soon after was made deacon, a position which he held honorably for more than forty years.
Lyman professed his Christian faith in his sixteenth year, and a few years before his father's death, which occurred in 1847, was also elected deacon, serving forty years. The family connection with this sacred office is perpetuated in his nephew, Deacon E. A. Fisk.
