Galen was listed in the census as a farmer and a drover. He died at his residence in SouthThomaston, Maine.
His middle name is listed as Gullen & Bullen in different entries.

Galen Fiske was descended from Lord Symond FISKE, born about 1399 in Stadhaugh, Laxfield, Suffolk, England.
Most of this Family History is of his son Lewis Sherban. These families can be
found listed both as Fiske and Fisk.

"Lewis Fisk and brother George Franklin came from Rockland, Maine about 1854
and eventually settled in Pleasant Hill, MO. where they operated a butcher shop.
Lewis entered service during the war of Rebellion (Civil War) the 31st of
July 1862, at the age of 23, as private of company K of the 9th Regiment of the
US Calvary. He furnished his own horse and horse equipment.
While on scout duty in June of 1864 his horse was shot out from under him. He
crawled and hid in a hollow log. He was discovered after an absence of 3 weeks
with a broken right foot and sore eyes. He was promoted to sergeant and returned
to duty. Due to complications of the foot he was honorably discharged the 24th of
June 1865. He was awarded a medal for bravery under fire.
Grandpas feet never healed properly, he limped the rest of his life. During a
lightning storm, Grandpa was sitting with his foot propped on a wood stove.
Lightning struck and knocked Grandpa off his chair. This may have contributed to
his death a few days later."  Note by his granddaughter Iva Nora Flanery                      Lewis Sherban Fisk
