The Bridport Sun
Thursday, 19 December 1901


         Over the Biblical age-limit of three-score
       years and ten, THOMAS FISH of Vergennes died
       at his residence in that city at the age of
       78. Paralysis of a severe nature, which took
       effect in a series of shocks, was the cause
       of his death. The trouble dated back to 1894.
       A family survives him, one daughter, MRS.
       GEORGE KINGMAN of this city; one grandson,
       ARTHUR B. KINGMAN of Burlington; one grand-
       daughter, MISS BERTHA H. KINGMAN of Vergennes,
       and one sister, MRS. JAMES MULTHROP of Stoughton,
       Cal.
       
         The deceased was born in Ferrisburg, Feb. 1,
       1823, and his early life was spent in that town
       and in this city. He made two trips to California
       during the gold excitement in that state, com-
       mencing in 1849. About 1851 he returned to Ver-
       gennes, having been fairly successful in his
       mining operations, since which time he has re-
       sided there. For 13 years MR. FISH was street
       commissioner, during which time he also had
       charge of the cemeteries.
       
         He was a member of the Methodist church of
       Vergennes, having joined it about 35 years ago.
       The funeral services were held at his late
       residence Sunday, Rev. Charles Worrick preach-
       ing the funeral sermon. The hymns selected
       were sung by the Methodist church choir. The
       bearers were ANDREW ROSS, C. T. S. PIERCE,
       G. F. O. KIMBALL, and E. J. BRISTOL. Burial
       was made in Prospect cemetery.
