Mr. Biss was the son of the late Joseph and Mary Lesko Biss. Edward graduated from Schuylerville High School, class of 1949. Ed grew up on the family farm eventually taking it over, and with the help of his nephew Rick the farm grew to what it is today. In his youth Ed enjoyed hunting, fishing and his dog Jack. But as he grew older his interests migrated to his plants, flowers and the grafting of his fruit trees. He looked forward to his yearly trip to the Tunbridge Fair for weeks ahead of time, but his happiest day was when he bought his property in Vermont. His family was truly important to him. Ed is survived by his sister; Emma Speidel, brother; George, many nieces and nephews and his close friends that would stop by or call for "advice." He is preceded in death by his parents, sisters; Helen, Rose, Mary, Agnes, Julia, baby sister Anna and his brother Joseph.
As a person interested in history and genealogy I (Dave Peck) got to know Ed in about 2012 and he was a great source of information on Bacon Hill, NY and the surrounding area. I greatly enjoyed my conversations with him. He is pictured in the 1949 Schuylerville yearbook along side Anna Biss who I assume was his sister.
