Fisk died Monday morning at nine o'clock, in the hospital at Cedar Rapids, from injuries received by falling from his engine near Mechanicsville the night previous. The unfortunate man was pulling passenger train No. 1 with Tom O'Herne as conductor. Mechanicsville was passed at 12:22 a.m. About that time Fisk went back onto the tender to ascertain if there was sufficient water to make the run to Cedar Rapids. He failed to return to the cab in a short time and Fireman W.E. Moore surmised something was wrong. On reaching Bertram the fireman stopped the train but no trace of the engineer could be found. Then the conclusion was reached that Fisk must have fallen from the train. An engine was taken from a double header at Betram and dispatched back over the line to Mechanicsville in search of the missing man. About a mile and one half west of Mechanicsville he was found lying beside the track, still alive but unconscious. His skull was badly fractured, no doubt caused by striking the tender when falling from the engine. He was taken to Cedar Rapids and placed in a hospital but death resulted at nine o'clock. Mrs. Fisk was telegraphed and went down on the morning train. The remains were brought to this city Monday evening on the Colorado Special. E.J. Fisk was born in Pennsylvania in 1855, being forty four years of age. For thirty years he has been a resident of this city and nineteen years an engineer on the Northwestern. His wife is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Harding. Seven children, all boys, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Fisk. They are Ed, Ray, Robert, Bert, Howard, Clyde, and Floyd the oldest being 23 years of age. His mother and one brother reside in Pennsylvania, another brother lives in Michigan and a third in Alaska. Mr. Fisk was a God fearing man and his death is regrettable. The wife and family have the sympathy of the community in the hour of their sorrow. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from his late residence, Rev. Allen, the Free Methodist pastor, officiating. Interment was in East Linwood. Those in attendance from abroad were Mrs. Walter Schropshire and Mrs. Saunders of Omaha, sisters of Mrs. Fisk, the deceased man's brother from Michigan, and Edwin Crocker, a son of Mrs. Fisk by her first marriage.
