• Notes

  !STATUS: 1989 CAP SO: Milton Hackett Also known as William Arthur Sisson, his full name is William Artemus Ward Beecher Stowe Sisson. PROBLEM: D-040 lists b. 6-18-1882. OCCUPATION: Printer, editor, publisher of the country newspaper, "Cottonwood Curent". BURIAL: City Cemetery. NOTES: In 1904 young Bill Sisson had just quit his job as journeyman printer with the Crookston Times, and had arrived in Cottonwood, via the train, broke and looking for work to provide the cash needed to get home to Tyler. He took a job at the Cottonwood Current and ended up staying on, marrying Mabel Dahl, buying the newspaper and spending the rest of his life in Cottonwood. At first the future seemed bright but by the mid 1930's, Bill's health was deteriorating and by now both of their sons were showing manifestations of multiple dystrophy, Mabel had undergone extensive medical care for a leg injury, all leading to increasing difficulty in operating the business. Bill died in 1950, and for the next few years Mabel added to her tasks more and more of the operations of the business. Keith and Ward continued to run the paper for several more years after their mother died in 1954. Ward died in 1962 and Keith finally sold the paper in 1967. Keith died at home in 1969.
