_____________________________
Well-Known Resident of Morrellville

_______________________
BORN IN FEBRUARY, 1836

John Wissinger, one of the oldest residents of Johnstown, passed away this
morning at his residence, 123 Leslie Street, Morrellville, where he had been
bedfast since November. His death was due to a complication of diseases. The
deceased was born in Lower Yoder Township on February 27, 1836, and was a son of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wissinger. Lewis Wissinger died in Conemaugh
Township 32 years ago at the age of 102 years and his grandfather, who served in
the Revolutionary War, was a nonagenarian at the time of his death. The latter
was a drummer boy under Washington in a regiment of Germans that was recruited
in Philadelphia. John Wissinger's mother died when he was a mere child and he
was reared by the Eli Benshoff family, of Minersville, now the Fourteenth Ward,
where he spent his boyhood days. Early in the 50's Mr. Wissinger plowed a field
at the present site of the Cambria Steel Company's mills, but he never worked
for the local industry. For over 50 years Mr. Wissinger was engaged in farming
in Jackson Township, this county, returning to Johnstown many years ago and had
since resided in the vicinity of his birthplace. Mr. Wissinger was married
twice, both times to sisters. His first wife was Sophia Mackall and his second
wife was Harriet Mackall. All his children were born to his first wife, whose
death occurred 31 years ago. His second wife's death occurred in 1914. His
children are Mary, wife of Timothy Gillen, of Jackson Township; Albert
Wissinger, of Walnut Grove; Sarah, wife of Watson Grumbling, of Morrellville;
Eli H. Wissinger, of Roxbury, this city; Lucy, wife of Stephen James, of
Conemaugh; Hannah, wife of Harry Griffith, of Jackson Township; and Walter E
Wissinger, Richland Manor. In addition to the above he is survived by 43
grandchildren and 47 great-grandchildren. John Wissinger was a member of the
church of the Brethren for many years. He was the oldest member of the
Morrellville congregation.
