Biography

Peter Fagg entered public life after establishing himself as a local businessman, serving in the Wisconsin State Assembly where he championed public education, fair taxation, and infrastructure that connected rural towns to the growing cities.

He remained close to Forest Hill neighborhood affairs, encouraging civic improvements until the end of his days; that same cemetery now honors his civic-mindedness and the friendships he nurtured.
