The funeral of Oscar F. Sisson of Bristol, who died after several months illness, on Friday, April 7, aged 62 years, was held from his late home on Sunday afternoon, Rev. S. M. Day officiating clergyman.
Mr. Sisson was well-known throughout Ontario County. At one time he lived in Canadice where he married his second wife, Miss Jennie Mather. It was very fitting that Rev. Day should officiate at his funeral, he having united him at his second marriage, and also that of his son, Spencer G. Sisson to Miss Bessie Blackmer.
