Frederick's obituary was published in the June 6, 1890 edition of The Freeman's Journal:
"HARTWICK – Deacon Frederick H. Bissell died Sunday evening, after an illness of about three weeks, aged 87 years. Mr. Bissell was born in the town of Hartwick, and for over 60 years had been a resident of the village. His life carried us back to the days when Stukely Ellsworth and Deacon Beebe and Amasa Potter were in their prime and the prominent men of the town of Hartwick. The deceased had once owned and conducted the mills in the village, and for years had conducted the merchantile business, but the panic of 1876 which swept over Otsego county compelled him to suspend his business. As a citizen, every public enterprise had found in him an earnest and efficient champion. He had been a wool buyer for more than 60 years, and was without doubt the best judge of wool in central New York. Till his last illness, he had enjoyed remarkably good health, and preserved to the last his faculties. He was a lifelong member of the Methodist church. Two sons survive him."
