In this village [Cooperstown, Otsego Co. NY], Feb. 25th, Horace C. Fish, aged 68 years.  Funeral from his late residence on Elm Streety this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The death of Horace C. Fish removes another of our formerly active businessmen, long a resident of this village.  Mr. F. was born in Oneida County [NY], and came to this village 45 years ago with, as he said, "but a shilling in his pocket."  A blacksmith by trade, he commenced business soon after he came here and by patient hard labor and rigid frugality for thirty years, acquired a competence and gave up the business to his son.  In later years he gave his attention more to agriculture.  For the last five years his health has been impaired, yet not without intervals of improvement.  In November last he was confined to his house, and in a short time to his bed, from which he never arose without help.  He suffered exceedingly during the long months of his illness, for many weeks hovering between life and death, until Monday last, when he passed quietly to his rest, in the 69th year of his age.  Mr. F. was of a sober, taciturn disposition and not easy to reach in conversation; not inclined to bestow favors unasked, but ready to grant them when solicited.  As a neighbor he was accommodating and peace-loving, for in twenty-seven years as a next-door neighbor no favor was asked of him that was not granted, and no work of discord passed his lips.  He was twice married, his first wife dying young, leaving an only child, an infant of five months, now the wife of Mr. George White.  His second wife, with three children, survives him.
