MISS MARY C. BISSELL DIES
Member of Old St. Louis Family Succumbs to Heart Disease
Miss Mary C. Bissell, granddaughter of Daniel Bissell, member of one of St. Louis' oldest families, and for a quarter of a century mistress of the old mansion on the Bellefontaine road, died of heart disease at her home of yesterday afternoon.
She had been ill a week, and death came as a shock to many of her friends. She is survived by three brothers, F. S. and Daniel R. Bissell, Mo., and F. R. of Dallas, Tx, and a sister, Mrs. H. D. Wilson, of Memphis, Tenn.
Both out of town relatives are expected to-day. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
Miss Bissell was born forty-eight years ago in the mansion where she died. She was known as a traveler, but lately spent most of her time in St. Louis. Miss Bissell's grandfather, Gen. Daniel R. Bissell, came to St. Louis in 1804 and soon after assumed command of Fort Bellefontaine. Her father J. M. R. Bissell, died in 1885.
