LONG ILLNESS FATAL TO JACOB J. LISSNER—Former Prominent Brunswick Business Man 
Died at Home Last Night.

Jacob Jekyl Lissner, for more then 65 years a resident of Brunswick during 
most of that time identified with the retail and wholesale business of the 
city, died at the family residence, 1327 Union street, at 10 o’clock Sunday 
night, following a long illness.

Mr. Lissner had been confined at his home for five years, and for many months 
his condition was such that little hope was entertained for his recovery.

During his younger life, Mr. Lissner was active in Brunswick business circles, 
for years being one of the city’s leading business men.

Born in St. Marys June 18, 1863, he was 82 years of age last month.  Mr. 
Lissner came to Brunswick when he was 14 years of age.  Later he attended 
school at College Point on the Hudson river in New York.  Returning to the 
city he was employed by his uncles, the late Arnold and Michalis Kaiser, who 
for years operated a large retail dry goods business under the name of A. 
Kaiser & Bro.  Later, Mr. Lissner entered the retail dry goods business, and 
then engaged in the wholesale business on Bay street, where he was successful 
for a number of year(s).  He retired, however, a number of years ago, but 
continued quite active until he was stricken ill.

Mr. Lissner was one of the oldest members of the local lodge of Elks and had 
been affiliated with other organizations in the city.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Flora Marks Lissner, two children, Miss Helen 
Lissner and Capt. J.J. Lissner, Jr., stationed at Newport News, Va., who is en 
route to the city; two sisters, Mrs. Tillie Berger and Mrs. Celia Jacoby, both 
of New York, and one aunt, Mrs. Carrie Kaiser, also of New York.

Funeral services will be held at the residence Tuesday night at 8 o’clock, the 
service to be read by Fred Pfeiffer, and services by the local lodge of Elks 
will follow.  The body will then be forwarded to Atlanta, where burial will be 
at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning.

The following will serve as pall bearers:  Active, J.L. Owens, John J. 
Gilbert, Dr. J.B. Avera, Phil Ringel, Oscar Grossman, Dave Gordon, J.M. 
Armstrong, Walter S. Nathan; honorary, C.H. Leavy, I.M. Aiken, J.C. Stiles, 
W.E. Fouche, Fred Lockwood, J.L. Andrews, F.M. Scarlett, I. Fruchtman, Fred
