BIOGRAPHY
William Bissinger married Elizabeth Stritzky in 1893, and the first record is the 1900 census, when he and Elizabeth were enumerated as "George" and "Lizzie" Bissinger. They were living with Elizabeth's relation, by marriage, Joseph Frey, and he must have responded to the census taker as the Bissinger names are not consistent with later censuses. At this time William and Elizabeth had two children, Johanna, b. 1895 and Frank [Frederick]. The census further states that Elizabeth had born three children, and three were living. Who the third child was is not known, but it may be the following child who was born in the Bronx in March 1900 and died four months later in July.

Willy T. Bissinger 11 Mar 1900 922 Births Reported in 1900. Borough of the Bronx.
Wm. P. Bissinger 4 m 25 Jul 1900 2631 Deaths reported in metropolitan New York City

In 1910 and 1920 William Bissinger was a superintendent for an apartment house.  He passed away after the 1920 census was taken. His widow Elizabeth married second Emil Roth in 1929 in Queens, and it's highly probable that William and Elizabeth had moved there in the 1920s and that William Bissinger died in Queens.

William and Elizabeth's son Frederick Bissinger was born 24 Jun 1898.  He was unemployed when he reported to the draft board on Sept. 12, 1918.  In 1920 Frederick was an automobile salesman, and in 1930 he was an insurance agent.  If Frederick did marry it was after 1930, as in this census he was living with his step-father and mother, Emil Roth and Elizabeth [Stritzky] Roth.  Frederick Bissinger died in Jamaica, Queens Co., NY in January 1973.
