brother, Dr. E. R. Sisson, of New Bedford, to receive instruction from him in medical science.

     At the breaking out of the war he was among the first to enlist, serving three months with the
Massachusetts Third Regiment. Upon his return from the army he resumed his medical studies with his brother, and at the Pennsylvania Homœopathic
Medical College in Philadelphia, and graduated in 1862. He then returned to New Bedford, and practiced there for one year, and afterwards in Falmouth,
Mass., for about the same period. Attracted then by the fame of the Western country, he removed to Omaha, Nebraska, in 1868, and soon identified himself
with the interests of that young and growing city, and by his energy and close attention to the duties of his profession, soon ranked among the first in
his system of practice. After residing there for five years, and making many converts to homœopathy, he was stricken with typhoid pneumonia, and died
on the 25th day of January, 1873, An honorable and cultivated gentleman, a firm friend in need, his death brought sincere mourning and regret to his
relatives and numerous friends and patients.
