He was converted to God at the age of twenty-two, and for more than forty years has been a most zealous, useful, honored class leader in the Methodist Church. Mr. Sisson was a Christian man in all the full, high sense in which the word Christian is understood. Men of all classes who knew him believed in him, trusted him, honored and loved him. His death is a common loss and a general bereavement. In his death the family have lost a loving, gentle, exemplary husband and father. The church has lost a leader and pillar whose place will be extremely difficult to fill. Society has lost one who though reserved and unobtrusive was among its purest, best and most worthy members. A star of high magnitude has gone out from the earthly firmament, the world is poorer and the whole community is bereaved.
It was not his to amass wealth and leave it to family, to friends or the world, but he has left to this a richer and better inheritance. Dying, he leaves behind him a half century of faithful devoted Christian work; a half century of correct unsullied Christian example, a memory which should long endure as a high and powerful inspiration, leading upward to that which is true, worthy and divine. "The memory of the just is blessed." "Blessed are the dead which died in the Lord form henceforth, yea saith the Lord the Spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
The funeral services will be held at the Methodist Church this Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The family have they sympathy of the entire Church and Community in this their great bereavement.
