On Saturday morning, at 9:20, Willard FRISSELL died at his home in De Soto. Mr. FRISSELL was born at Peru, Berkshire Co., Mass., in 1804, and about 50 years ago he came to Jefferson county, Mo., settling on Big River. In his early life he taught school, but later he retired from that profession and commenced farming, having purchased a fine tract of land in the Big River bottoms. In 1827, he married Miss Ann Maria AUSTIN of this county, and of this union there were nine children, of whom five are still living. With the assistance of his family he opened a farm, which he sold in 1872, and then removed to De Soto, where he purchased property and spent the remainder of his life. Besides his five children, Mr. F. leaves a wife to mourn his departure. He was one of our most useful citizens, being generous, industrious and kind. Although a little eccentric, he was universally liked, and was ever ready to assist those who were worthy. There are many friends who remember these acts of kindness on the part of Mr. F. In 1873 he united with the Presbyterian church, under the ministration of Rev. J.R. ARMSTRONG. On account of dull hearing he was not an habitual church-goer, but he ever lead a consistent Christian life, dying in hopes of a glorious immorality. He was as consistent in his physical as in his spiritual life, and his death at the age of 81 years, was simply the wearing out of the life machine - the stopping of the wheels. Those who stood around his bedside never witnessed a more calm separation of the spirit and body. Not in pain, not in anguish of the soul, but in peace and quiet the released spirit took its flight. At a green old age he left the busy scene of this life. The remains were laid away in the De Soto cemetery, Sunday afternoon, many sympathizing friends attending the BURIAL. The widow and family have the sincere sympathy of all. </HTML>
