WILLIS P. BISSELL
ANOTHER VICTIM OF NIAGARA
[People’s Press, 13 December 1898]
Niagara Falls, Dec. 7- Willis P. Bissell, a teacher in Caton’s Business College, Buffalo, concluded that the game of life was not worth playing. From Niagara Falls he wrote a note to his brother Charles in Buffalo, to the effect that “this life is a great bluff,” posted it, and then walked out on the new Suspension bridge and threw himself into the icy flood beneath. Bissell was well-connected, in fair circumstances, and seems to have had no tangible reason for committing suicide.
