Otego, NY
per Karen:
In 1802 Samuel Fisk was living in a hewn log house near M. J. Ford's, east of the road. He
is described as a thin, cranky, rough old man,
who once killed an Indian on the Day flat near
the river. In his old age he became blind, and
the neighbors would often fetch him to their
homes for supper, and then spend the evening listening to his stories of the Revolution. (History of Otego by Stuart Blakely)
