Stephen Bliss, father of Ziba Bliss,
with his family removed from Leba-
non, N. H., in 1907, and bought the
farm where Austin DEMO now lives,
of one McCloud, who had made a
pitch there and built log house and
framed barn, which is still standing
in good preser Vation. He had two
other sons who came with him, who
died in the prime of manhood. Elias
@. Dutton soon married their young
est daughter, Sarah, and lived with
them up to the time of their death.
He was man of decided piety, held
visited the families, con-
versed with old and young on the
subject of religion and really served
as their minister in the gospel. In
1917 the Congregational church was
at West Glover by Rev.
Samuel Goddard of Concord and Rev.
Luther Leland of Derby; the society
consisted of sixteen persons, only four
males. Stephen Bliss was elected
deacon, position he held up to the
time of his death, which was very
sudden. He died at the advanced age
of rs years; his wife died of consump-
ton few years previous to his de-
cease. Deacon Bliss offered prayer at
the first funeral in Glover; the office
of deacon was held by three genera
tons, viz, Ziba and his son, Stephen
G. Bliss, who is we'll remembered by
the elder portion of the inhabitants of
West Glover, as successful teacher
of church music. Dea. Bliss had his
full share of the privations of pioneer
life, but he met them bravely, working
with his hands until his age
prevented him from performing man
lal labor. He held the office of Justice
Of Peace for long time, and was a |
very useful man in his day and gen.
