   CHARLES BISSEY farmer, P.O. Perkasie, was born in Bucks 
county, October 20, 1822, and is a son of Abraham and Susan 
(Huntsberger) Bissey, both also natives of the county.  
Abraham Bissey, the grandfather of Charles, was likewise 
born in this county, being of German origin, and was a 
weaver by occupation.  His son Abraham, father of Charles, 
followed the same trade.   In his early life our subject 
learned the trade of a blacksmith, and was employed at that 
branch of industry for eleven years.  He then left that 
employment, and went to farming, which has occupied him 
since.  He was married June 5, 1853, to Caroline Althouse, 
who is of German descent, and was born October 13, 1828.  
They are the parents of the following children:  Jacob A., 
Amandua A., Caroline, deceased; Mary E. and Harvey.  Mr. 
Bissey belongs to the Lutheran church, and in politics is a 
democrat.
