Per 1900 census she had 7 children, 5 of whom were still living in 1900.
**Even though it says in obit that she was buried by her husband, he is buried in VA with a stone. She may have put a memorial stone up for him in 1885 in the family burying ground but appears he is actually buried in VA.
BISSETT
Death of Mrs. Bissett.
Wednesday morning at four o’clock Mrs. Mattie Overstreet Bissett died at her home near Braxton after a lingering illness of tuberculosis. The funeral will occur today at two o’clock at the residence, conducted by Rev. Frank Cleland, pastor of the Providence church, and her remains will be laid to rest beside those of her husband in the family burying ground. She was a woman of many fine qualities, and a strength of character that drew to her a wide circle of devoted friends. Three of her sons are graduates of Annapolis and are fast winning their way to fame in their chosen profession. Lieutenant Eugene Bissett, who is assistant naval constructor, stationed in the Philippines, was unable to come to his mother’s bedside, as was his brother, Harry, now on his way to Manila. Lieutenant Guy Bissett, of the navy, stationed at Newport News, reached his mother’s bedside a few days before she passed away. His wife accompanied him. Two younger sons, Messrs. Lee and David Bissett, have always remained at home, and the faces of these three dear sons were the last the widowed mother looked upon. Mr. Milton Overstreet, of Galesburg, Ill., her eldest brother, and Rev. W. Overstreet and wife of Willisburg, were also with her when the end came
