He leaves eight children, who are comforted in the faith of meeting him in the other life. During his illness he received every attention from Supt. Palmer and members of the medical staff, as well as from the attendants, kindnesses which have been a great satisfaction to the friends. The family of Mr. J. N. Bissell received many manifestations of sympathy from neighbors and friends at the time of the funeral which will ever be a grateful memory to them. Eastern papers please copy.
