Dr. Charles L. Fisk was born in Mansfield, Conn., December 25, 1804. His
father, Ezra Fisk, was a farmer, and in his youth the son helped upon the
farm, went to school, and as soon as he was thought of sufficient age he
became a teacher. He was a great reader, took readily to study and became an
efficient Latin scholar. He and his younger brother (Dr. Daniel) went to
Pittsburgh into the family of their uncle Alba Fisk. Here they taught school
and studied medicine. Dr. Charles returned to Connecticut in 1829 and soon
built up a large practice in eastern Connecticut towns. At the solicitation
of his brother Daniel, he came to Greenfield in 1853 and took charge of a
portion of his business.
For more than a generation Dr. Fisk had a very extensive practice in this
and the surrounding towns. Originally a Jeffersonian democrat he soon became
an active and efficient recruit to the cause of human freedom as outlined by
Garrison and Phillips and their associates, and his home was often the refuge
of the fugitive slave in his search for freedom. The doctor took great
interest in the Greenfield lyceum in its palmy days, and often presided at
its meetings and joined heartily in the debates. For many years he wrote for
the local paper a birthday poem which even to the last showed evidence of an
active mind and the yielding of a facile pen. He was a Mason of the 32d
degree and was often called upon to address his fellows at their social
meetings. He died December 19, 1896, aged 92 years. He left a son, Dr.
Charles L. Fisk, Jr., to follow him in his profession, and a daughter, the
wife of Calvin L. Butler of this town.
