         BENJ. B. BISSELL DEAD
         
         An Old Newspaper Man Gone
         
         BENJAMIN B. BISSELL, a former resident of Marshall,
       who a few weeks ago went to the Soldiers' Home at
       Grand Rapids from Albion, where he has resided for
       several years, died at that institution Thursday
       morning of cancer. He was 71 years of age. His re-
       mains were taken to Marshall for burial on the 3:12
       Michigan Central train yesterday afternoon, accomp-
       anied by his brother, PHILIP BISSELL, and his brother-
       in-law, OSCAR WILMARTH. The burial occurred at Oak-
       ridge at 5 o'clock. MR. BISSELL at one time was pub-
       lisher of the Statesman, being associated with F. H.
       BURGESS. He also published the Albion Recorder and
       Albion Republican for several years, and was one of
       the oldest newspaper men in the state. When the free
       delivery mail service was instituted at Albion, he
       was appointed letter carrier, which position he held
       for about eight years until he was obliged to resign
       on account of his age. He served in the civil war.
