known as the Bissell farm in Wilmington
and moved there with all his goods. The
household effects, of which there were
few in those days. were piled upon an OK
wagon and the livestock was driven on
ahead. The roads were but little more
than forest paths but no difficulty was
experienced in the journey which was ac-
complshed after several days without
special incident.
Almost as soon as they arrived at the
new farm the elder Bissell began work
and in few years had one of the largest
and most hourishing farms in the town.
In those days the Connecticut river was
navigahle as far north as Bellows Falls
and it was a frequent occurrence to drive
an ox-wagon loaded with the surplus pro
duce of the farm to Brattleboro whence
it was shipped down the river on flat
boats to be sold in Springfield, Hartford
or New York city.
Time passed and the elder Bissell died,
leaving his farm to he divided between
his two sons Henry took the part con
tanning the homestead and Ashel received
as his patrimony the other part. lie
built upon his portion the home in which
he still lives He was a handy man with
carpenters tools and many houses and
barns which he built are still standing
in the town of Wilmington. He has seen
Wilmington grow almost from the begin
ming On the arrival OF the Bissel fam
ily there were but four dwelling houses
in the village and they were all log
cabins. For his labor Mr. Bissell rarely
if ever received money but took his wages
in produce of the farm, animals or in
some other way.
Mr.. Bissel was made a voter in 1928
and cast his first ballot in the second
presidential campaign of Andrew Jack
son against John Quincy Adams, voting
for Mr.. Adams. He has voted at every
presidential election since that time and
always has voted the republican ticket,
casting his last ballot for Theodore Roose
welt. He has been lifelong member OF
the Methodist church and always a
staunch supporter of his denomination.
He has never used Intoxicating liquors
or tobacco in any form and abhorss the
smell of the weed. He formerly drank
tea and coffee but gave them both up
many years ago and for more than 70
years has not tasted either beverage. In
stead he drinks large quantities of warm
water and milk. He retiTes every night
at dark and sleeps soundly until morn
ing.
Mr. Bissell married Miss Lucy, Upton
of Wilmington Dec. s, 1899. She died
more than IS years ago. They had three
sons. Daniel Of New York city, Edwin OF
Independence, Ia, and Charles W. OF
Wilmington who lives at home and still
tills the farm which his father received
from his father. There are II grandchil-
dren and, Is great-grandchildren, the, ED
est of whom was recently married IN
Iowa, Mr.. Bissell's only sister Is Mrs.
10. A. Alvord of Brattleboro.
When visited by the camera man Mr..
Bissell was very much pleased and sat for
his picture obiigingly. He insisted upon
changing a sweater which he wore for,
coat and smoothing out his hair before he
would permit the picture to be taken.
