Obituary.

Mrs. Jane g. Bliss, mother of
Mrs. E. Q. Wilson died at the Wilson
home near Extra on Monday night.
June Is, 1903
The deceased was born at Antrim.
n. H., on February "a, 1880, having
lived to the good old age Of seven
ty-three years. When only seven
years old she, with her fathers
family, removed from the old home
and located at Geneseo. Illinois, be-
ing among the first settlers in that
part of the country. The people
who composed this band of pioneers
were staunch Congregationalists
and one of their first duties was to
organize Congregational church.
This organization was known as
the First Congregationalof Geneseo
and has always been one of the
leading Congregational churches
of the state of Illinois.
Mrs. Bliss became a member of
this church when yet but girl and
remained faithful to her church
and to her Lord and Master until
the work was done and the Masters
call came "come home" and she
joined the church triumphant.
She received her education at the
Geneseo Academy where in after
years her children too attended the
same school.
During the civil war her home
was in the south where she was
made to realize the full meaning of
trials and dangers experienced by
northern people in the south in
those days.
Mrs. Bliss was one who lived her
religion rather than said it, one
who gave the fruits of goodness in
quiet everyday christian example.
But those who knew her best, loved
her most. For her to pass through
severe trials, was but to take
stronger hold on the eternal things.
EARLY left alone with small child.
rem depending on her and looking
to her for support and guidance
she devoted her life as only such a
mother can to the welfare of her
children.
She was the youngest of family
of six children and was the last of
this family TO be called to the home
above.
To her has now come the bliss of a
glorious reunion of father, mother,
sisters and many friends including
three of her own children who died
in infancy.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the home by Rev. III. L.
Wissler, after which the remains
were taken to Geneseo, Illinois, to
be laid in the old family lot beside
those of her parents and her own
loved ones.
All of her children were in at
tendance at the funeral, Mrs. E. C.
Wilson, Geo. E. Bliss, of Corning,
Iowa, and Burt I. Bliss, of Rice
Lake, Wis. Mrs. Wilson and Burt
Bliss accompanied the remains to
Geneseo.
