      JOSEPH BISSIG MEETS INSTANT DEATH.
      Last Friday morning, about four o’clock, at track-walker found the mangled remains of Joseph Bissig, age 62 years, on the tract opposite Chestnut street, his body having been dragged from Cherry street. About mid-night he went into Hayes’ livery stable, where a large number of lumbermen had congregated, preparing to leave for “Fiddlers Green” Lumbering camp, and complained of being cold. He remained there until about three o’clock, when he left the barn, supposedly to cross the railroad to the furnace, when no doubt he was stuck by the freight, east bound, that passed Emporium at 4:14 a.m. Esquire Larrabee, acting as Coroner, was called and summoned a jury, composed of Frank Mundy, Asa Murray, Albert Johnson, Geo. Welsh, C.A. Ruberto, and Peter Ferguson, who viewed the remains and adjourned to meet Friday afternoon, which they did and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The remains of the unfortunate man were taken to B. Egan’s undertaking rooms and prepared for burial which took place from St. Mark’s Catholic Church, Sunday afternoon, the remains having previously been conveyed to the family residence, West Allegany Avenue Extension, where scores of friends called to view the remains of the kind-hearted friend.
      Deceased leaves a wife, and two brothers - one, Anthony, who resides on Plank Road Hollow and an invalid brother at Austin; also several step-sons and daughters, his wife’s first husband having been John Hout.
      The following relatives from out of town attended the funeral: Tony Bissig, Jr., Buffalo; Mrs. Michael Welsh and sister, Austin; Michael Sprangler, Jr., Mrs. Michael Spangler, Mrs. Jos. Emmert, Geo. Emmert, John Eber, Kersey, Pa.
      The services in the church were very largely attended.
      Peace to his soul.
