THE LATE MRS. BISSETT
In last week's issue of the Times
we mentioned the passing `away of
Exeter's oldest resident, in the per-
son of Mrs. James Bissett who had
reached the advanced age of 94
years and 6 months. The funeral
took place on Friday afternoon to
the Exeter cemetery. For the past
three or four years Mrs. Bissett had
been holding on tenaciously to life
During that time she had. kept .to her
bed, the ravages of old age telling
on the rugged constitution. But
while the body was weak the mind
was bright and active and she follow-
ed with interest the movements of
her family and the things she was in-
terested in. She was a remarkable
old lady in many ways and up to a
few years ago was bright and smart.
She was one of the pioneers of this
section coining to Canada from Dev-
onshire with her parents when about
twelve years of age. Her tales of
pioneer life when only trails marked
the paths through the woods when
neighbors were few and markets
were far apart read like a story book.
Her maiden name was Fanny West-
cott. Mr. Bissett predeceased her
in 1900. Mrs, Bissett was a memb-
er of James Street church and was a
faithful christain mother. The late
Mr. Bissett was for many years an
active local preacher. She is surviv-
ed by four daughters and four sons,
viz: Mrs. Jas. Creech, Mrs. Wm.
Creech, of town; Mrs, J. Welsh of
Winnipeg; Fanny at home; Richard,.
John and James of London; and
Thomas on the homestead. Seven-
teen grandchildren and twenty great
grandchildren also survive.
