| LifeSketch |
JOSEPH KISSEL, farmer, P.O. Sterling Run, was born in Lycoming county, Penn., January 14, 1838, a son of Isaac and Nancy Kissel, natives of Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools in his boyhood, and when nine years old left home and began working for farmers and lumbermen, which he continued until 1862, when, in August of that year, he enlisted in the service of the United States in Company I, One Hundred and Thirty-first Pennsylvania Infantry, and served nine months, when he returned home. In December, 1865, he located on Bennett\'s branch, Cameron county; about 1868 he came to Sterling Run, and for several years worked in the lumber camps of Cameron county. In 1875 he bought a house and lot in Sterling, but in 1883 sold his village property and bought the farm where he now lives. Mr. Kissel is at present a member of the board of Lumber township, and has held various other official positions. He was married December 31, 1875, to Miss Flora A. Fosmer, a daughter of Ira and Lydia (Lyman) Fosmer, and they have six children: Bessie M., Nettle B., Nellie Z., Blanche A., Ada F. and John J. The Catholic Church building at Sterling was dedicated by Bishop Mullen, July 20, 1884. This church belongs to St. James\'parish, and is in charge of Father Brennan. In July, 1880, the contract for building the schoolhouse at Sterling was sold to Joseph Kissell, the lumber being furnished from Andrew Kaul\'s mill. Sterling Run Cemetery Company was organized in September, 1886, with H.L. Pearsall, M.W. Whiting, A.W. Wylie, Joseph Kissell and J.E. Smith, as members.

NOTE: George William Huntley in his book A Story of the Sinamahone, 1936, reprinted by the Cameron County Historical Society, writes regarding a 112 foot long spar (timber usually used as a ship mast) \"The next spring this beautiful stick was loaded on top of the raft which was run to Marietta by Joe Kissell as pilot and Al Russell, steersman.\" The name Kissel (one \"l\") is the way my mother recorded her grandfather\'s name in her birthday book, and also the way the name is spelled on the gravestone at Sterling Run.
