  Vol 2 Page 1878 #13 Erie County Probate Court Sally Fish, d. 22 May 1893, 68 yrs, 1 mon, 15 days, d. Milan b. New York, married" Samuel Fish Obituary: IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Samuel Fish departed to a higher life from her home in Milan, Ohio, Dec.3rd, aged 68 years, 1 month and 15 days. She was born in the town of Marcellas, NY, Oct. 18, 1824. She married Samuel Fish, Feb 20, 1844 and lived in the state of New York until 1864 when they moved to Milan, Ohio, where they have since resided. In 1850 she joined the church and became an active member. Some years after she with her characteristic benevolence adopted a little girl, who was a cripple and friendless. In 1858 this girl became susceptible to spirit control and such were the wonderful messages given from departed friends that Mrs. Fish became convinced of its truthfulness and has ever since been a firm believer with increasing faith, and what is more, she carried the highest precepts of the spiritual philosophy into her daily life, and would often say that spiritualism was not only good enough to live by, but splendid to die by, ever hoping that she would not outlive her usefulness. She was a warm and affectionate friend, ready to make any sacrifice and few knew of her constant charities and her unwearying efforts to assist those dependent on her. Mr. and Mrs. Fish have had five children, four of whom are living, and one in the higher life.The daughter, Dora, had just left for Kansas on a visit to her sister Carrie, and the death of their mother was so sudden neither could attend. Celinda, the remaining daughter, and Albert, their son, together with their father, were the only near relatives that could be present at the funeral, which was one of the largest ever held in East Milan, and there were the most profound expressions of regret and sympathy. Rev. Felt, of Norwalk, officiated with words of great praise for the belief that could inspire so noble a life and that it might not be weakened in the members of the family that are left to earth. A Loving Friend
