Business and personal papers of four generations of the Fisk Family of Green Bay and Fort Howard, Wisconsin, primarily documenting the operations of the land and lumber company, W.D. Fisk and Co., during the 1870s and 1880s. Business records consist of letterbooks, cashbooks, journals, ledgers, and two volumes listing shipments to the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and other customers. The personal papers document only a few members of the family, primarily the line that descended from Joel S. Fisk to his son William Justin Fisk and then to his son Wilbur Driggs Fisk and his children Hiram Fisk and Mary Newton Fisk. Included is fragmentary correspondence; legal account books of Joel Fisk (1838-1842); letters to Eva Cornell Fisk from her maternal cousin, William Haight, a Justice Department inspector; snapshots and letters written by Hiram Fisk during a trip to China and Japan in 1915; a scrapbook, honeymoon letters, and DAR application of Mary Fisk Newton; and miscellaneous letters to and from Martha Driggs Ryan, aunt of Wilbur D. Fisk. Also included are biographical clippings and portraits of a few members of the Fisk and Driggs families. The original photographic prints are available at the Green Bay Area Research Center; copies are in Madison.
