[Scott County]   [Lytle's Fork Precinct]

WILLIAM FISH, farmer, P. O. Sadieville.  His father, Frances Fish, was born
parents; in 1809, removed to Hamilton County, O. [sic], where he was
married; in 1826, returned to Scott County, where he died in June 1845. He
was by trade a shoemaker and worked at the same during his younger days,
but for a number of years previous to his death, followed the occupation of
farming.  He was a soldier in the war of 1812.  His wife, Amy (Decker)
Fish, and mother of our subject, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1800, and
died in Scott County in 1864.  There were born to them nine children, of
whom was William Fish, our subject.  He was born in Hamilton County, O.
[sic], Nov. 17, 1821; he received his education in his native county; in
1843 commenced business on his own account, by trading in the South.  In
1853 he began merchandising in Lytle's Fork Precinct, and continued the
same until 1850, when he bought the farm upon which he now resides, and
continues the management of the same.  In 1850, in Scott County, he
married Miss Elizabeth Griffith, a native of Scott County, and the daughter
of Thomas and Nancy (Rollins) Griffith.  Her father was born in Scott
County, in 1801, and died in 1877.  Mr. Fish has been a very successful
farmer, and is now the owner of a well improved farm of 190 acres.  He is
a member of the order of A.F. and A.M. West Union Lodge, No. 165; he is a
Democrat in politics, and was elected constable in 1881.  They have had
three children, two of whom are living; Theodore and Thomas F.  Whatever
Mr. Fish has attained has been the result of indomitable will and energy,
having taken his beginning in life in very moderate circumstances.  He is
one whose progress is sure, and who strictly adheres to principles of
honesty as the best policy.
