  Death of Philip Fishel Philip Fishel died at his home five miles northeast of Wood last Wednesday morning at the advanced age of seventy five years and eight months. He was one of the pioneer residents of Clayton County having settled there in 1850, and for the past thirty years, he has continuously held the office of Justice of the Peace in his home township. At the time he was taken ill last January, he was also township assessor, his neighbors having at many times during his life with them elected him to positions of trust and honor, thereby attesting their appreciation of his worth and integrity. Mr. Fishel was first wedded to Catharine Lytle and to them were born three children; L.W. of Wood, Sarah, now Mrs. Rizer of Thorpe, and John of St. Paul. Mrs. Fishel died March 4, 1893, and on November 20, 1900, Philip Fishel was again married, taking to wife a most estimable lady, Mrs. Mary Smock, who with his three children all of whom were with him during his last hours, still survive. Mr. Fishel also left four brothers and a sister, Robert of this city having been with him a great deal during his last illness, being there when he died. He was a neighbor and friend much loved and a man thoroughly respected by a large circle of acquaintances in both Clayton and Delaware counties. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and was also an Odd Fellow. The funeral services were held at the German Methodist church near Mr. Fishel's home when after a sermon by Rev. Heatley, the I.O.O.F. lodge of Colesburg, of which deceased had been a member for fifty years, were given charge of the remains, and interment was made in the Edgewood cemetery under their direction. The number of carriages following the casket to the burial place formed a line fully a mile long, so large was the concourse of friends gathered to pay their respects to the dear departed.

The record is very difficult to read but is signed on the 2nd and I believe it says they married on the 1st. It was filed in Findlay on 25 Dec 1828.
