| I don’t think I shared the attached photo with you. I took this on the way home from the coast last summer. One of the Oregon Sisley brothers settled in the area near Baker, OR. The little town in that area, I understand, was almost named Sisley… but the post office fellow, I think I was told, put his vote in for his name and the creek was given the Sisley name. Anyway, the Sisley name at a rest stop in eastern Oregon. Truth is, the place is very hot, dry and windy during the summer. John Clark Boise, ID |

Dear Jim, Thankyou for putting the Sisley site up again. We have sad news to add. Our father Clarence Sisley passed away at home on Jan. 16,2002. All his children and our mother Dorothy were with him.He died of conjestive heart failure. We shared a wonderful Christmas together. All his childern were there and four of his grandchildern. He gave everyone a book of his lifetime memories. It starts with him trapped in a crib which he soon learned to escape from.Then there is a chapter on his war years with doucuments and personal pictures of him in uniform from 1941 and other personal pictures of him on maneuvers. The third chapter is of his education and work years. Finally a chapter called Close Calls or The Times I almost got Killed. He is buried in Buffalo, New York at the Elm Lawn Cemetary, lot 120 on Memory Lane. I would also like you to add to our family page our son Derek Brandon Gill his marriage to Krista Marie Anthony on August 28, 1999. Thankyou again for our site. Linda Gill |
