  Father	Charles Andrews Bisbee,   b. 17 Nov 1846, Lebanon Town, Madison, New York, USA d. 16 Mar 1929, , Eastland, Texas, USA (Age 82 years)

  Marriage	30 Jan 1878	Amity Township, Erie, Pennsylvania, USA   [2, 11, 12]
  	Charles' younger sister Olive S. Bisbee married Charles Daniels and they were living in Cisco, Texas, by 1884. No doubt they maintained contact with Charles, because in 1895, Charles Andrew Bisbee moved his family to Cisco also. Left behind was his eldest daughter, Cora May who was said to have never seen them again. One of his sons, Elmer Myron, recalled beginning the trip with a long wagon ride, then boarding a train that took them to Texas (as told to Bobbie Ray Bisbee, Cisco, Texas.) According to his great grandson, Bobbie Bisbee of Cisco, Charles Andrew deeded all his mineral and oil rights to an orphanage at Weatherford, Texas, near Fort Worth. The orphanage no longer exists. Granddaughter Ruth Bisbee Lamb (deceased) recalled that Charles Andrew was a tall man with blue eyes, and he always had a bit of peppermint candy for the children. He often worked in his potato garden, even on cold, damp days, an activity that probably contributed to his death. She remembered that Charles Andrew was buried on a wet, muddy day (in 1929). He was taken from his house to the nearby cemetery in the back of (son) Jessie's pickup truck which slipped and slid in the mud. Ruth feared the casket would slide off the back of the truck (it didn't).

  Notes	An article in the local Cisco, Eastland County, Texas, newspaper-- "AN ABSOLUTE Treasure Trove fell on us when C. M. (Charlie) Wyatt Jr. dropped in on us. He was here for the Collins Reunion of last weekend, and shared some top-flight Carbon history with us. It's actually his C. H. S. Senior Autobiography and he surely got an A+ on it because it is filled with important history: class, aerial and individual photographs, maps and prose. He asked us to share it with Webb Jordan who is doing his continuing series on Carbon History. It's amazing how many of the pictures have teachers and personalities we remember. There must have been 30 kids in that 1933 first grade class with Miss Reba Ransom and just as many the Second year with Mrs. Mamie Townsend. It's amazing: I can actually associate some "little faces" with names from the past. Of 15 boys, only four did not have bibed overalls, and that was long before school uniforms were the thing. Elva Lee Jones was the Sixth Grade teacher. Among others, I recognize Cousin SAMMYE BISBEE, Glen Ford, and others. Henry Collins was the Seventh Grade teacher. T. E. Robertson was Superintendent in 43-44 and F. M. (Mooney?) Wood was principal. Mrs. Davis (Merrit Dunn's mother) ran the school candy store after Al Harrison, also janitor? There's a photo of the MKT Doodle Bug passenger train that ran from Waco to Stamford and back, through Carbon once a day. C. W.'s dad, Cyril "Red" Wyatt ran a barber shop and Cousin HOMER BISBEE and "Tuffy" Spencer were shine boys. The building that formerly housed the "Playboy Club" on Main St. was originally his dad's barber shop."
