FISKE.
EBENEZER FISKE was the son of Benjamin and Lydia (Hobbs) Fiske. He came to Lyndeborough from Danvers, Mass., in 1835. The farm that he bought and settled on was the land that the Rev. Sewall Goodrich chose as part of his settlement and known thereafter as the Goodrich place. It lies north of Badger Pond, and is now owned by William C. Wilder. Mr. Fiske was much respected for his strict integ- rity of character. While taking great interest in the affairs of the town, and always fulfilling the duties of citizenship, he never aspired to public office, and gave his whole time to his business of farming. He was a de- voted member of and a constant attendant at the Congregational church. Failing health compelled him to relinquish the active work of the farm,

GENEALOGIES
age entered Dartmouth, from which he was graduated in 1764. On com- ing to Lyndeborough he commenced to teach school and followed that vocation until 70 years of age. He was evidently a man of varied ac- complishments, for as a surveyor he ran many of the first lines through the virgin forest of the then sparsely settled town. In the controversies of the times he was much consulted for his knowledge of the law. He was a devout member of the Congregational Church and while not an ordained minister, he often supplied the pulpit and preached acceptably to the people. He was of slight physique and never weighed more than ninety pounds. He wore knee buckles until the last, and long after they were out of fashion. He was town clerk and held other office and was a soldier in the Revolutionary Army. (See Chapter VII.)
