Holbrook, Arizona. 5 Shares, Issued and Cancelled Stock Certificate. VF-XF condition, cut cancelled, S/N 683, Gast Stationery Co. Joseph Fish was ordained an Elder by F. T. Whitney on March 11, 1856, ordained a Seventy by W. C. McGregor on February 22, 1865, and ordained a High Priest and set apart as a member of the High Council by President Joseph F. Smith on March 14, 1869. During his time in Parowan, Fish worked as a farmer, as a lumberer, and as a merchant. He was also active in the Church and served in the Utah militia. During the winter of 1878-1879, Fish moved to Snowflake, Arizona with part of his family. He returned to Utah for the rest of his family the following fall. After working briefly for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, Fish returned to the mercantile trade and established the cooperative store known as Charles Jarvis and Joseph Fish Co. at Holbrook, Arizona in 1881. In order to avoid being arrested for polygamy, Fish spent a year in Mexico in 1884. He was arrested for the same offence with several other men in 1905, but all were excused on the condition that they pay a fine of $100. In 1893, he moved to Layton, Arizona and was elected to the 18th Territorial Legislature as a Representative from Graham County. In 1896 he returned to Holbrook and began collecting materials and writing about the history of Arizona. He is the author of The Pioneers of the Southwest and Rocky Mountain Regions and The Life and Times of Joseph Fish, Mormon Pioneer. Fish died on December 10, 1926.
