Bissell was a member of one of Dubuque's oldest and wealthiest families.
Bissell was writing full time by 1953 and moved his wife, Marian, and four children to Rowayton, Conn. Major success arrived that year with the publication of his lighthearted novel "7 1/2 Cents," about an impending strike at the Sleep-Tite pajama factory in an Iowa river town.
Bissell collected the experiences he had on Broadway and put them into another best-seller, "Say, Darling," that became another hit Broadway musical in 1958.
