Life

He was the son of Conrad Fiero and Catherine Fiero. He was born in that part of the Town of Broome which was separated in 1836 to form the Town of Conesville, in Schoharie County, New York. At age 9, he went to Saugerties, Ulster County, New York, to live with his uncle Joshua Fiero who adopted him. In 1840, Joshua Jr. became a clerk in a dry-goods store in Catskill, Greene County, New York, and a few years later opened his own store there. On July 28, 1842, he married Mary Frances Pierson (1820–1907), and they had several children, among them State Senator William P. Fiero (1843–1912).

He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Greene Co., 1st D.) in 1854; and a member of the New York State Senate (10th D.) in 1860 and 1861.

He died at his home in Catskill, and was buried at the Village Cemetery there.
