"SISSON, Charles, third child of Asa and Mary Ann (Peck) Sisson, was born Sept. 7, 1847, in Coventry, R. I.  He attended the public schools of his native town and finished his studies at the Friend's School, Providence.  In 1866 he was bookkeeper for Vaughan & Greene, webbing manfacturers, at Hamilton, R. I.  In a short time he had learned the business and was made superintendent of the works, which position he held until 1883, when with Oscar A. Steere he established the Hope Webbing Co., on Sprague street, Providence.  In 1890 the business was incorporated and the plant removed to Pawtucket, where a factory had been erected especially for its accommodation.  Mr. Sisson was elected treasurer of the company, which position he now holds.

Mr. Sisson served in the town council of North Kingstown, was president of that body in 1881, and was chairman of the school committee from 1875 to 1883.  He is now a member of the city council of Providence.  In politics he is a Republican.  He is a member of the Society of Friends.  Oct. 4, 1888, he married Elizabeth Davis Eyre, of Philadelphia, by which union there are five children:  Charles P., b. Feb. 9, 1890; Russell E., b. Aug. 4, 1891; Hope, b. Jan. 21, 1893; Ruth, b. Feb. 10, 1894; Alice, b. Feb. 27, 1895.

Mr. Sisson's maternal grandfather, Perez Peck, b. in Rehoboth in 1786, was one of the first manufacturers of cotton machinery in New England, and conducted an extensive business at Coventry, R. I.  His father, Asa Sisson, was likewise a manufacturer of cotton machinery; he was born in Warwick, R. I., Oct. 5, 1815, and died Jan. 19, 1893."

"WHITE, Willis Harkness, was born in Millville, Mass., Dec. 22, 1862.  He attended the public schools of Uxbridge until he was 16 years old.  He then worked for five months in Henry S. Farnham's furniture store, when he secured a position as bookkeeper with the Hamilton Web Co., of Hamilton, R.I., where he remained three years.  Going to the city of Providence he became associated with Robert P. Gifford as sub-agent for the Provident Life and Trust Co., and followed this business for a year.  He then worked for a year as a bookkeeper with the Albion Co., and after that, in the village of Hill's Grove was engaged in mercantile business with Benjamin C. Sweet for two and a half years.  As a result of this varied experience, Mr. White was
admirably fitted for the position he now occupies, as secretary and
assistant treasurer of the Hope Webbing Co., which he has held since the company was incorporated in 1889, previous to which date he acted as bookkeeper for about two years.  In politics Mr. White is a Prohibitionist, and is an active and aggressive worker for his political faith.  He is a member of the Society of Friends, and belongs to the Greenwich Monthly Meeting.  His interest in local and state history is manifested by the fact that he is a member of the Rhode Island Historical Society.  He was married Feb. 21, 1883, to Emily Sisson, daughter of Asa and Mary Ann Sisson of North Kingstown, R. I.  The issue of this union are:  Mary Harkness, b. in Providence, Feb. 11, 1884; Charles Howard, b. at Hill's Grove, Aug. 30, 1885; and Louisa, b. at Hill's Grove, April 1, 1894."
