Bissell,
Mary Phillips 1833-1902
A
SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Mary M., wife of Edwin A. Bissell, recently of
Oneonta, who has been spending some time at the home of her son,
Joseph W. Bissell, in the south-eastern part of Burlington, near the
Patent post office, died Sunday afternoon, without a moment's warning
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Telfer, who reside in the same
neighborhood. Mrs. Bissell had called for a short visit and was at
the time deemed to be in her usual health. Coroner Bishop of
Garrattsville, was at once notified and on arriving at the house and
making examination pronounced death due to heart disease. Mrs.
Bissell was past 70 years of age, and besides the husband leaves two
sons and one sister surviving her; One son, Fredrick Bissell, of
Scranton, and Joseph W. above named, and the sister, Mrs. Zina
Doolittle, of this place. She was the youngest sister of the late
Barney H. and Frederick Philips of this town, children of Mr. and
Mrs. John Philips, long since deceased. The funeral of Mrs. Bissell
was held on Tuesday at the home of her son, J. W. Bissell, conducted
by the Rev. H. H. Fisher; interment in the family plot at this place.
Another
obituary with this one gives only slightly more information and
different spellings of Phillips. Her son was Jasper W. Bissell, not
Joseph as mentioned above.
Her
Find a Grave Memorial denotes these facts. Her husband was Edwin
Augustus Bissell 1833-1914. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=bissell&GSiman=1&GScid=2340048&GRid=34140661&

Hartwick, June 30--(Special)---Mary A., wife of Edwin A.
Bissell, died very suddenly yesterday, Sunday, at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Andrew Telfer, in the east part of New Lisbon. Mr. and Mrs.
Bissell were residing just over the town line of Burlington with
their son, Jasper W. Bissell, who is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Telfer, where Mrs. Bissell was making a short visit at the
time of her death. They were engaged in clearing off the table, when
it was discovered that Mrs. Bissell was staggering. They immediately
took hold of her and laid her down when she at once, expired.
Coroner Bishop was notified. Death was doubtless due to
heart disease. Mrs. Bissell was about 70 years of age. The funeral
will occur Tuesday, with interment at this place. She leaves, beside
her husband, two sons, Frederick Bissell of Scranton, Pa. and
Jasper W. , above mentioned, all of whom have the sympathy of the
community in this, their sudden bereavement. She was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John Phillips, deceased, and youngest sister of the
late Barney H. and Frederick Phillips. One sister.

ReplyDeleteHi there! Welcome to the Geneabloggers gang :) As far as I know I don't have any ancestors from the Butternut Valley area but I think is wonderful that you are taking the time to put up the information you have online for others to find. You are right - it is priceless!

ReplyDeleteThat's a sad thing to happen - a little traumatic for the neighbors she a visiting I imagine. Our grandfather died while visiting his son in TX. It through some people off when looking for the death certificate. They were trying to get a copy from Ohio where he resided.
