Mrs/ Louisa Bliss:
Sudden Death of An Estimable Conneaut Lady at Saginaw, Michigan, Yesterday.
__
A message last evening bore the many Conneaut friends the sad intelligence
of the death of Mrs. Louisa Bliss, which occurred suddenly yesterday morning at
the home of her son, Fred Bliss, Saginaw, Mich.
The aged lady, whom there was none in Conneaut more respected and loved,
went to Michigan at the approach of the holiday season. Fred Bliss, who had
been in Colorado for several months past was to be home for the holidays and to
spend the season with him, his mother went there.
Leaving here she was in her usual good health and, notwithstanding her
advanced age of 76 years, she enjoyed the trip. Her visit there was not marked
by any serious illness until yesterday a paralytic stroke was suffered and from
it death ensued.
A life-long resident of this immediate vicinity, Mrs. Bliss resided in the
same home since her wedding day over fifty years ago. The Bliss home on the
Furnace road, southeast of town, was a haven of hospitality and, in years gone,
to it Conneaut people were wont to travel, there to receive attentions and enjoy
a hospitality that only this gracious woman knew how to dispense.
When the Bliss children were younger the Bliss home was a rendezvous for
the young people from town and many are the tales of the kindness Mrs. Bliss
attended to them.
The Bliss farm was known by that name for a great many years. It was the
home of the elder Bliss and when Alvin E. Bliss and Louisa Harrington of Clark
Corners, were married they went to it and made it their home. There they lived
and their children were born and spent their childhood and youth.
When Mr. Bliss died several years ago, Mrs. Bliss did not leave the home
that had been home to her for fifty years and to the old home the children
returned each year for a summer visit.
Six children were born to the couple, Alice, who died in childhood; Frank,
who died at his home in Maine a dozen years ago; Fred H., of Saginaw; Madge
Bliss Andrews, whose death occurred 14 years ago; Charles A., a Columbus man,
and Iris L., of East Conneaut.
The remains will be brought here this evening from Saginaw and will be
taken to the old home, where the funeral will be held on Monday afternoon at
1:30. Interment will be the East Conneaut cemetery.
