Bissey - George, son of Abraham and Salome Bissey, was born near Cherry Box, Mo, Dec. 13, 1877; died at his home near Cherry Box, where he grew to manhood, Feb 23, 1942; aged 64 y, 2 m, 10 d.
He accepted his Saviour in his youth and united with the Mennonite Church in which faith he continued the remainder of his life.
He was united in marriage with Hannah Brubaker, Nov 26, 1906. To this union 2 daughters and 3 sons were born.
He was ordained to the ministry by Bro Daniel Kauffman May 18, 1902. He preached his last sermon Feb 15, 1942. He was the treasurer of the mission funds of the congregation and a member of the Mission Board of the Conference district for twenty-six years.
Feb 20, he was on his way to help haul wood for the church. When he had gone less than a mile from home an accident occurred in which he fell in front of the wagon and was dragged about 30 or 40 rods on a crushed stone road, very badly injuring his right arm and leg which, with the weak condition of his heart, caused his death.
Kenneth, an infant son, preceded him in death, in 1921.
Bro Bissey was a considerate and affectionate husband, a kind father, and an excellent neighbor.
He was loved and respected by those who knew him. He leaves his companion, two daughters (Sadie and Margaret, who helped at the Mennonite Children's Home in Kansas City, Kans, for a number of years), and two sons (John of Wellman, Ia, and Donald, at home).
Two sisters (Mrs John J. Swartzendruber of Wellman, Ia, and Mrs Eli Yoder of Washington, Ia), and many other relatives and friends also survive.
Funeral services at the home were conducted by Bro Amos Gingerich of Williamsburg, Ia, and at the church by Bro J M Kreider, assisted by Bro J M Yoder. Texts, I Sam 20:3; II Tim 4:6-8.
