P. C. Fisk
Investor
Notes:
• The North Alabama Improvement Company was a large force in the development of Huntsville. A group of capitalists formed the company. Only three were originally from Madison County. P. C. Fisk was one of the directors and was from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. - Chapman
• "During the late 1880s, the leaders of Huntsville began an all-out effort to bring industry into the small cotton-farming community. The earliest major move was by the North Alabama Improvement Company, which was formed on March 17, 1886, to promote the area... They began a concerted effort to interest Eastern capitalists in investing in Huntsville." - Kalor
• P.C. Fisk does not seem to come for the same genealogical line as the early settlers of Madison County. - Editor's Note
