Notes for Richard T. Bissett:

STOCK CAR FLIPS,

CERESCO MAN HURT

 

        Richard T. Bissett, 34, of Route 1, Ceresco, was injured critically when a stock car he was testing flipped onto its side and pinned him on the 11-Mile Road between B Drive North and B Drive South. The accident occurred about 8:15 P. M. Saturday.

        Mr. Bissett suffered head and chest injuries and was reported in "critical" condition last night in Leila Hospital's intensive care unit. His son, Richard W., 13, injured, but to a lesser degree, was reported in "fair" condition.

        According to a sherriff's deputy, Mr. Bissett was working on a modified stock car and was trying it out to adjust the timing. The car left the road, swerved back across the roadway and flipped, pinning Mr. Bissett. The deputy said that the right rear axle was broken. The sherriff said it has not been determined who was driving. The accident is still under investigation.

 

Battle Creek Enquirer and News Obituary: September 12, 1966

 

STOCK CAR RACER

DIES OF INJURIES

 

        Richard T. Bissett, 34, of Route 1, Ceresco, father of five, who was injured Saturday night when a stock car he was testing overturned on its side and pinned him beneath it, died at 2:30 A. M. Sunday in Leila Hospital.

        His son, Richard W., 13, also injured in the accident on the 11-Mile Road near B Drive South, remained in fair condition today in Leila Hospital.

        A sherriff's deputy said it is believed that the boy was driving the stock car while his father was on the left side adjusting the timing of the car. The deputy said the boy apparently lost control of the car after it started.

        A mechanic employed by William Gresley of B Drive South, brother-in-law of Mr. Bissett, was pushing the car with another car when the stock car started up and its speed moved from about 35 miles per hour to 50 miles per hour.

        The mechanic, James Powers, said he saw the dust fly and when he reached the scene, he saw the car overturned and pinned Mr. Bissett. He and others lifted the car off him and called for an ambulance.

        The stock car was owned by Mr. Gresley. He told deputies that he, Mr. Bissett, Mr. Powers and others had been working on it for several days.

        Deputies said further investigation is necessary because of a report that Mr. Bissett was actually the driver.

        Mr. Bissett's death is the 26th traffic fatality in Calhoun County this year.

        Mr. Bissett was in stock car racing for some 16 years and had been a mechanic for the past 10 years. He was a crane operator for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad. He was also a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. From 1949 to 1951 he was a member of the Naval Reserve.

        He was born in Bedford, Jan. 12, 1932, son of Theron Leroy and Bernice Elma Bissett. He married Nancy Caryl Gresley on Oct. 28, 1950, in Battle Creek.
