Free Baptist Cyclopaedia (1889) by G. A. Burgess and J. T. Ward, p. 137:
"Corliss, Rev. Herbert G., son of Levi O. and Almira P. (Griffin) Corliss, was born at St. Albans, Vt., July 12, 1852. He studied at Green Mountain Seminary. Converted in the fall of 1869, he was licensed June 13, 1873, and June 13, 1874, was ordained by Rev's J. W. Burgin, R. L. D. Preston, and D. S. Frost. He has baptized seventy-five in the following pastorates: Underhill Centre, Vt., where a church was organized, three years; Washington, two years; East Randolph, four years; Manchester, N. H., over a year; Wells Branch, Me., over a year; Tiverton, R. I., since 1886. He married Dec. 17, 1873, Sarah S. Moore."

Herbert and Sarah were enumerated on the 1880 Census in Randolph, Orange VT. His occupation was clergyman and the church was probably the Free Baptist in East Randolph.

It is concluded that Sarah possibly died in childbirth or shortly after Guy Corliss was born in Tiverton RI in September 1887. The Rev. Mr. Corliss married Julia around 1888-9 as the 1900 Census of Rockland, Plymouth MA indicates they were married 11 years.

Herbert served as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Starksboro VT 1889-1890/91 and at that time his wife was Julia E. Corliss. Their membership letters of transfer were received Oct 5, 1889 from Tiverton RI Church and their letters of dismission were dated Sep 1, 1894.

Census reports list the family in Rockland MA from 1900 on. In 1910 he was in real estate, in 1920 he was bi-vocational as a clergyman and an operative in a shoe shop.
