Charles D. SISSON, 67, well known resident of this city, died at his residence at 916 Jefferson street Friday morning at about seven o'clock. While Mr.Sisson had been seriously ill suffering with paralysis agitans for the past 10 years, the last few of which he was invalided, death came unexpectedly.
Earl SISSON, the son, had been with him at five o'clock in the morning and did not re-enter the sick chamber until after seven o'clock. At this time he noticed immediately that something was wrong and summoned a physician, who stated that death had occcurred some time prior to his arrival.
Charles D. Sisson was born in Crawford county, Pennsylvania, November 23, 1854, one of 10 children born to Nathaniel and Betsy Jane SISSON. He was married December 23, 1883 and moved to this locality in 1882.
In 1889 he opened up the Arlington hotel and was elected assessor in 1896, serving four years in this capacity. Later he took up farming, which occupation he continued until in 1905, when he established the SISSON FEED BARN on E. Eighth street, which he managed until a few years ago when his health forced him to retire from active pursuits.
He was a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge, and served one term as vice chancellor commander of the grand lodge of Indiana. He was always more or less active in politics, adhering to the Republican faith.
Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Jennie E. SISSON, a son, Earl SISSON, four brothers, A. E. SISSON of Erie, Pa., Leonard [SISSON] of Gerard, Pa., John [SISSON], of Monroe, Ohio, and F. E. SISSON, of Pueblo, Col., and four sisters, Elizabeth [SISSON], of Erie, Pa., Mrs. Anna GUNNINSON, of Gerard, Pa., Mrs. Mary JOHNSON, of West Springfield, Pa., and Mrs. Sarah LEEKA, of Durago, Col. One brother is dead.
