Benjamin T. Bliss was born in Little Genesee, N. Y., Oct. 17, 1830, and died there Nov. 13, 1901.

Save for one or two years, Bro. Bliss always lived in Little Genesee. He had resided thirty-five years on his farm where he died. On Dec. 11, 1858, he was married to Mary J. Crandall. To them were born three sons and one daughter, all of whom are living. He was a thoughtful, industrious citizen, a lover of his home, and a Christian man. He united with the First Genesee Seventh-day Baptist church in 1857, of which church he was a member at the time of his death.

Funeral services were conducted at the home, on Sabbath afternoon, Nov. 16, by the pastor.
