Mrs. Amanda Bliss was born in Chautauqua County, New York, Feb. 15th, 1826; died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Collins, at Harper, Kansas, May 15, 1908, at the age of 82 years and 3 months. On September 28, 1984, she was married to Marshall M. Blanchard, to which union were born eight children, four of whom survive, vis; Mrs. Emma Ellis of Brimfield, Ill,; LA Blanchard of Evanston, Ill.; LA Blanchard of Evanston, Ill.; Mrs. James Mitchel of Stanton, Nebr.; and Mrs. William Collins of Harper, Kansas.
Mr. Blanchard died in August, 1894.
Three brothers of Mrs. Blanchard living, viz; Amos Bliss of Medford, Oregon; Edward Bliss of Springfield, Mo.; Phineas Bliss of Minneapolis, Minn.
Mrs. Blanchard came to Peoria Co. with her parents in 1837, and the major portion of her life was spent in the vicinity of Princeville. Her life has been an ideal one in many respects. At the age of 18 she united with the Christian Church at this place, and although the local church with which she allied her spiritual interests passed away in course of time, that made no change in her spiritual life. She became an attendant of the Methodist Church, but not a member, and gave to that church and its people her sympathy and encouragement.
She was a woman of settled convictions, not easily moved about by every wind, yet withal frank and sympathetic and a lover of order throughout her life and its affairs. She was much interested in the work of the WCTU of this place, of which organization she was a member.
Her health was generally good till the last few years. Last fall she went to visit her daughter, Mrs. Collins, at Harper, Kansas, and during the winter she began to fail. She was seriously sick only a few days before death came to release her from the bondage of earth.
She was a loyal wife, a faithful mother, a kind neighbor, a true homemaker, a zealous Christian. She has entered her reward at last, and her’s was an abundant entrance.
The body reached Princeville Sunday at 4pm and was taken to the undertaking establishment of FE Prouty. The funeral sermon was preached in the Methodist Church, Tuesday, May 19, at 10 am by Nelson J. Brown.
