from the Janesville Daily Gazette:
Dr. Samuel H. Gish, the oldest dentist in practice in this city died this morning at his home 161 South Third street. The end came about 2:30 o'clock after a long illness caused by the infirmities of old age.
The deceased was born in Lancaster, Pa., April 27, 1819, making him eighty-one years of age at the time of his death. The ancestry of the family can be traced to the old Guise family of Europe. He was educated in the Lancaster county schools and Stroudburg Academy of Monroe county, Pa., and graduated from Philadelphia Medical College in the class of 1851. He practiced for several years in Elizabethtown, Pa., and came to Janesville in 1866, where he opened a dentist office and soon gained wide reputation for skill in his profession. He continued in active practice until a few months ago when ill health forces him to cease his labors.
Dr. Gish was twice married, first to Miss Sarah Fredrick, who died in 1864, leaving five children. In 1868 he married Miss Jennie McNeil, who survives him.
Dr. Gish was a member of the Court Street M.E. church and was a finely educated man. In his death Janesville loses one of her best citizens and a prominent practitioner.
