FROM- The Purmorts in America

Lillian Martha Blish, wife of Henry C, is a descendant of
the old and eminent Colonial Blish family. Their home was in Jay, New York, where for several years in early times the families of Blish and Purmorts were well tried, fast and true friends.
"The Genealogy of the Blish Family in America," a large book published in 1905, gives the following: "Lillian Martha Blish was educated in the State Normal School at Albany, New York, and taught two terms at Jay before her marriage which occurred at the age of eighteen in the same home in which her father was
born. She is State Registrar of the U. S. Daughters of 1812 and a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants, Daughters of the American Revolution and other organizations, and an enthusiastic genealogist and historian. She is also interested in
many local charities and other good works in Chicago and is a tireless worker."

She and her husband, Henry C, are members of Dr. Gun-
saulius Congregation at the Auditorium, Chicago.
