A.W. Bissell
After many months of intense suffering A.W. Bissell died at his home on South Main Street, Thursday night. He had been confined to his house since January, tenderly cared for by his family.
Mr. Bissell was born in Yates County, New York, in 1847, and moved when he was eight year of age, to Ionia County with his parents. There he resided until 1890 when he and his family moved to Shepherd. 15 years ago they came to Mt. Pleasant and have lived in the home at the corner of Maple and Main Streets ever since.
Mr. and Mrs. Bissell were married May 10, 1886, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary just a few weeks ago. Happy were they that this privilege was accorded them even while the spectre of death hovered about the form of the husband and father. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Bissell six of whom are still living, all being here at this time except Thaddeus 0., who lives in Nashville, Tennessee. The other children are Nicholas of Cadillac; Delbert of Lansing; Mrs. Belle Cozier of Shepherd; Archie of Saginaw and Paul of Shepherd.
Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon, Rev. J.C. DeVinney officiating.
