Luther Sisson (77 years and 5 days) died at his home in Dresden, January 2, 1871. He was the son of George and his wife Bethany Luther Sisson, natives of Rhode Island. His parents were firm and devoted members of the Friend's Society [led by "the Friend" Jemima Wilkinson, not to be confused with the Society of Friends, the Quakers], and his birth Dec 27, 1793, is said to have been the third in the Friend's Settlement. He was the youngest of the children. His brothers were Benoni and Jonathan, and his sisters Lydia and Lament. Benoni married Mary Meek, and was the father of John and James Sisson of Jerusalem. Jonathan married Catherine Vosbinder and was the father of six children, among whom is Harrison H. Sisson of Jerusalem. Lydia married isaac Prosser and has a son living in Torrey. Lament was the wife of Richard Hayes. George Hayes, her son, lived in Dresden. Luther Sisson grew up under the immediate influence of the Friend's Society, attending the meetings with his parents. In conversation with the writer of this notice in 1868, he spoke with the highest respect of the Friend, and declared in the most emphatic terms that he held statements adverse to her integrity to be utterly false. Mr. Sisson was one of the early school teachers having commenced at the age of 19 in Larzelere Hollow in Jerusalem in 1812. He taught school several years, and was at one time a clerk in the store of William Huston at Eddytown. He married Sarah Maria sister of Wright Brown of Torry who is still living. They had a son, Charles E. Sisson, who resides at Dresden. Mr. Sisson was in his more vigorous years a man of activity and quietness of thought, and nearly always held some town office. In 1854 and 1855 he was supervisor of the Town of Torrey. As a constable he frequently attended court at Canandaigua, before Yates County was erected, and took a number of persons to jail there when imprisonment for debt was the law of the land. He was a teacher, merchant, and farmer by turns, and lived to a good old age, retaining his mental vivacity to the lastest period.
