Wilson S. Bissell

Campaign Manager for President Grover Cleveland

Wilson S. Bissell  was a close friend and political campaign manager for President Grover Cleveland.  The two were partners at the law firm of Laning, Cleveland and Folsom in Buffalo. When Grover Cleveland was first elected President, Wilson Bissell refused any appointment by him. However, during Cleveland’s second term,  he accepted the position of Postmaster General in 1893.  During his time in this position, he made many improvements to the Postal Department.  After two years of service in that role, Mr. Bissell resigned and returned to Buffalo and practiced law. He was President of the Buffalo Club and was the   Chancellor of the University of Buffalo.  Bissell Avenue in Buffalo is named in his honor.  Wilson Bissell is buried in section H in Forest Lawn
