SISSON, GEORGE W.
(31 Aug 1906, Berlin Herald, Berlin, Roger Mills Co, OK):
Geo. W. Sisson, who lived three miles south of Berlin, fell from his wagon
Thursday, August 23, while on his way to Berlin from Sayre, and received
injuries which resulted in his death.  The accident happened about two
miles from Sayre and he was taken to that town and cared for until he
died, Sunday morning.
Mr. Sisson was 70 years old, and came to this county from Iowa.  He leaves
a wife, children, and grandchildren.  He was an old soldier, and the
members of both the G.A.R. and the ex-confederates assisted in the
funeral.  The remains were interred Monday in the Berlin cemetery, Rev.
Roberts of Sayre conducting the services.  A large number of sympathizing
friends attended.
(31 Aug 1906, Friday Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
A Sad Accident
George W. Sisson, of Berlin, died in Sayre Sunday morning, caused by
falling off a wagon, while enroute to his home at Berlin.  Mr. Sisson came
to Sayre after a load of freight for Rosser Bros., and from what we learn
attempted to throw on the brakes, lost his balance and fell from the
wagon, breaking his neck.  George W. Sisson was 70 years old at the time
of his death, was a G.A.R. member and the burial was performed by that
order.  The family has the entire sympathy of the community.
