Biography
Numa Bissat was born on 10 March 1884 (some sources say 1887) in Vaud, Switzerland to parents John Henri Bissat and Aline Louise Jaccard (died 1911). He had a sister, Eva (born 1886). He also had three half-siblings: Gaston (1892-1960), Armand (born 1900) and Rose (born 1901), after his father later remarried to Rose Julie Py (1867-1917).

On 8 May 1911, Numa Bissat married Rose Catherine Sueur (born 1887) and fathered two sons: Clement and Francis. He was later widowed. On 27 March 1990, 17 days after his 106th birthday, he became the oldest known man in Switzerland following the death of Oscar Denereaz, also of Vaud. He became the oldest man ever to reside in Vaud after surpassing Denereaz’s age a few weeks later.

Numa Bissat-Sueur passed away on 5 December 1992 in Vaud, Switzerland at the age of 108 years, 270 days. His successor as Switzerland’s oldest man was Friedrich Gerber (1886-1995) of Bern, who also later lived to be 108.
