After one year there he decided upon the study of medicine and later became a student in the medical department of the University of Michigan, where he was graduated in 1883. Ever since, with the exception of one and one-half years spent at Hurley, Wis., Dr. Fish has followed medical practice at Mosinee.

His children were: Lodemia; Anna wife of Bowen Van Bosenberg; Marcus; George; Hiram; Jennie, wife of Dr. Fish, and Wesley; To Dr. and Mrs. Fish one son was born, November 5, 1891, whose life of promise was cut off in his sixteenth year.
