BLISS Mrs. Harriet Hotchkiss Bliss died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Emily Keever, Monday afternoon, aged 86 years and 6 months. She was born in Franklin county, Vt., Oct. 22, 1806, her life including almost the 19th century. In 1866 the family moved to Lena, where four years later her husband died.

During her residence of nearly twenty years in Freeport Mrs. Bliss has won sincere friends among both old and young, when associated with them for any time. She possessed a remarkable gift of winning friends among both old and young, when associated with them for any time. One felt that with her own strong character she recognized and appreciated the best element of character, and while she won the affection of those with whom she came in contact, she led them to nobler living and purer thought. She had been an earnest christian for many years, and was distinguished by her love for everything that was noble, pure and true. A woman of superior intelligence, well read in literature and news of the world, she was a most entertaining conversationalist and an appreciative listener. Missionary work, temperance reform in all its phases, and all other moral and social reforms were of deep interest to her, and this interest she retained through all the weakness of increasing age. Life held joys--intellectual, domestic and spiritual--for her, so that she was never heard to say that she was weary of living. She had an active interest in the world of to-day, remarkable in one of her age. The funeral services were held at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Keever on South Walnut street, the remains being taken to Lena for interment--Freeport Democrat.
