Mr. O. B. Bissell, of Penn township, died at his home last Saturday, after a serious illness. Mr. Bissell was an early settler in Madison county, and has always been rated as one of its most enterprising, active and energetic citizens, a noble upright man, a good neighbor, a man whose best devotions were his family and friends. He was the representative from Madison county in the legislature in 1874.
