Sanford T. Bliss until a year and a half ago an active business man of this village, died on Sunday last at the home of his brother-in-law, H. K. Jarvis, in Middlefield. Mr Bliss was a native of the town of Hartwick, and had lived in this village about twenty-five years. He was fifty-eight years of age at the time of his death. Until he sold out his business interests here to Charles E. Winegar, eighteen months ago, he had been for many years the active member of the drug firm of Jarvis & Bliss doing business in the Iron Clad store. He served as a private of the Iowa Cavalry during the Rebellion, and came out after the war with impaired health and constitution. He was a genial, pleasant man, whom many friends will miss. A sister, Mrs. H. K. (Harriet) Jarvis, survives him. The funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Perry officiating. [The Otsego Farmer March 26, 1897.] SOURCE: Find A Grave.com
