DIED – At the residence of his mother, Mrs. Fisk, in Indianola, on Tuesday morning, Feb 14, ’82, J. B. Fisk, M.D. But a few weeks since Mrs. Fisk buried a loved daughter, and her heart is again called upon to bleed for a loved son, who had but lately engaged in the practice of his profession for a while at this point and more recently at Spring Hill. But that fell destroyer, consumption, had fixed its fangs upon him and did not release its hold until it claimed him as its victim. The sympathies of all should be extended to those who but recently were bereaved of a sister and daughter. We shall give a more extended notice from those better informed than ourselves next week.
