I've "rescued" two photographs which belong to the BLISS Family. The first is one of Alice BLISS which was taken at the Nix Studio in Bonne Terre, Missouri. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Alice appearing to be in her teens or 20's at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, someone has written "Uncle Ellis BLISS'S wife" and "son of N. W." on the back of the photograph. The second photograph is one of Wyllys BLISS Jr. which was taken at the Smith Studio in Chicago, Illinois. This photograph was likely taken in the 1890's with Wyllys less than 1 year old at the time the photograph was taken. In addition to his name, someone has written "Son of Wyllys BLISS of Chicago" and "died very young" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Alice and her family: Ellis Wright BLISS married Alice HOMAN on 23 April 1889 in Potosi, MO. In addition to these photographs I also recovered some related photographs from the same source and mention them just in case they provide a clue. Bradford Dan CLARKE - Detroit, MI "Aunt Susan's son" and "Sister of N.W. BLISS" (1890's - man in his 20's or 30's) Ned BAUGHN - Chicago, IL "brother of Mrs. N. W. BLISS" and "my great uncle" (1880's - man in his 30's) Geo. BALDWIN - Boston, MA "cousin of N. W. BLISS" (Jan 1888 - man in his 50's) I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
