DR. E.C. BLISS DIED SUNDAY IN OBERLIN, OHIO

Passes Away at Home of His Daughter, Mrs. Lloyd Taylor.

Dr. E.C. Bliss, pioneer physician and loved and honored citizen of Grinnell, died Sunday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lloyd Taylor, in Oberlin, Ohio, where he and Mrs. Bliss had been spending the winter. Dr. Bliss had been in failing health for some time.

He is survived by his wife and daughter, Mrs. Taylor, and a son, Edwin, of Casper, Wyoming.

It was announced in the Congregational church Sunday that the funeral would be held here but instead the services will be held in Oberlin Tuesday afternoon. Interment in Hazelwood cemetery will be made later. Mrs. Bliss will remain in Oberlin until later in the spring.

Dr. Bliss' long period of residence in Grinnell was marked by upright, Christian living. All his life long he has been an earnest worker in the Congregational church, which he had served as deacon and in other capacities and he not only preached his Christianity but practiced it.

His kindly presence and his good example will be missed in Grinnell.
