Frank Bissell (January 12, 1878 – June 23, 1970) was an American politician. He was born on the family farm in Cass County, Iowa, on January 12, 1878. He was a farmer and laborer until June 1905 when he moved to Dexter, Iowa, and began working in agricultural real estate.[1][2] He was elected to a single term on the Iowa Senate in 1928 as a Republican representing District 17, which at the time included Dallas, Guthrie and Audubon counties.[2][3] After serving as a state senator for four years, he moved to Creston in 1936, and later retired from real estate. He died at Friendship Manor, a nursing home in Grinnell on June 23, 1970.[4]
