My Genealogy Hound

ELI A. TISSANDIER, merchant, Union Plains, was born June 16, 1853, in the southern portion of France. His parents are John and Mary Tissandier. When fifteen years of age, he went into the mercantile business, in which he has been engaged more or less up to the present time. In June, 1872, he emigrated to America, and by way of New York came to Brown County, Ohio, where he located at Greenbush, Green Township, and started in the mercantile business, at first on a comparatively small scale, but finding his business on the increase, he was obliged, in 1881, to build a larger and finer building, which would be better suited to supply the wants of both himself and patrons. He carries a fine stock of dry goods, groceries, etc., and sells at reduced rates, always striving to suit his customers. Mr. Tissandier has served as Clerk of Green Township, performing the duties of his office with entire satisfaction to the people. Politically, he is a stanch Democrat, and will fill, with credit to himself and party, any office which might be bestowed upon him. We take pleasure in representing him as one of the substantial and reliable citizens of Brown County.
