The chapter on Fairfield Township in History of Columbiana County, Ohio, published 1879 names East Fairfield. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
East Fairfield. - Dr. Sylvan us Fisher began the practice of medicine in East Fairfield in 1826, and pursued it about seventeen years. He taught the healing art to a large number of young men, who came as students to his office. About the year 1845 he removed to Iowa, where he died. He was a man of strong sympathies, and gained an extensive practice without reaping corresponding wealth. The poor and the rich alike received his prompt professional aid.
Dr. Charles Kay established himself as a physician in East Fairfield in 1834, and was then a young man. He usually rode horseback, and acquired a large practice. After several years he removed to Alliance, Stark Co., leaving behind him a good name.

and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
