d. Milan b. New York, occupation: manufacturer
Married: Sally A. (Crosby) Fish

Obituary taken from Sandusky Register, page 6, Weds., Sept. 19, 1900:
Mr. Samuel Fish, a well known citizen, passed away at the family residence in East Milan on Saturday morning, Sept. 15, 1900, at the ripe age of 81 years.
Honored and appreciated, after a long well spent, useful and successful life, he has finished his labors in peace and quiet dignity, and now at the close, with loving son and daughters to comfort and sustain it seems as though no element were lacking to a complete life and happy death, the funeral which was largely attended was held from his late home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, Rev. Hudson Tuttle of Berlin officiating.
Mr. Fish was born at Olisco, Onondaga county, N.Y., Sept. 25, 1819. He was united in marriage with Sally Crosby Feb. 20, 1844, and the family have been residents of East Milan about 56 years. Five children blessed the union, three of whom are living viz. Albert M., Miss Celinda and Mrs. S. E. ?erry of Kansas, all three being with him at the end.
The following poem, a fragrant and beautiful tribute of regard, was written for the occasion by Mrs. Emma Rood Tuttle and read by her at the funeral:

AT HIS FUNERAL
The page is finished; all is said
The mortal part of him can say;
If he be here he cannot speak,
And bid us welcome here today.
This is his last reception. We
Are fain to look on him at rest;
The tumults of our common lives,
No more will move his marble breast
The march grows lonesome, year by year,
The ranks are thinning as we go;
Our steps less buoyant, and the tones
Of march time music soft and slow.
A leaden pressure crowds our hearts,
A mist of tears is in our eyes;
We sense that earthly pleasures end,
But so do earthly miseries.
It seems but yesterday since he
Who now has entered into rest.
Was all alive, and working out
The high hopes prisoned in his breast.
Beside him walked a sweet, true wife,
Around them happy children grew,
Loving each other, loving them,
And loving all things good and true.
The founder of a lovely home,
Where gaunt want never crowded in,
To haunt the inmates. In its wails,
How happy we have often been!
The social gatherings where at
His smiling face and cherry voice
Gave warmest greetings, warmed us through,
And made us friendship's golden choice.
In conversation unrestrained
We talked of heaven and angels too,
Of cramping errors and reforms,
The family old, the broadening new,
We sang our thoughts to joyance hint.
His son was ever reaching up;
Meantime the good wife and the girls
Passed dainty lunch and smoking cup.
All hearts were glad. Those days are lived.
And He with life's dead yesterdays
In memory's graveyard still and sweet.

There is a record of a Roy Fish who was born in Milan, Ohio marrying Augusta Sommerschield (b2 JUN 1891 in Norwalk, Ohio) on Feb 4, 1933 in Toledo, Ohio so suspicion is that Ada died/divorced and he re-married. There may be more children here! Also need to see if death cert. is available.

Obituary:
DEATH BY CHOKING WAS INFANT'S FATE
Piece From Bamboo Mat is Swallowed By Fish Child of Milan
MILAN, O., Dec. 10. - (Special) - Death by choking after swallowing a small piece from a bamboo mat was the fate meted out to the ten months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fish, Thursday midnight. The infant, while playing, put the stuff in its mouth late in the afternoon. Drs. Gill of Norwalk were summoned and worked over the patient until recovery seemed reasonably sure. They left early in the evening. At midnight the infant passed away. Whether death was due in the presence of some of the bamboo in the mouth, or to the resulting irritation is not known. The Fish family is one of the best known and most prominent here. The infant is survived by the parents and a three year old daughter. Mrs. Fish is prostrated by her loss.

The funeral of little Robert Malcom Fish, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Fish, who died a tragic death by choking, Friday, was held at the Fish home west of Milan Sunday afternoon. Rev. H. C. Cunningham officiated. The services were tender and impressive, and truly appropriate to the memory of the pure little life thus rudely terminated. A feeling of genuine sympathy and sorrow was manifested among the assemblage of close friends and neighbors, who gathered to mingle their tears with those of the grief stricken parents. Following the ceremony at the home the remains were tenderly conveyed to the Milan cemetery where interment was made.
