"Fred M. Bliss, a well known and much respected farmer and dairyman of the town of Oneonta, died at about half past one o'clock Sunday morning at his home on upper East street. His illness, which was of only about four day's duration, was from the first serious, but on Saturday his condition seemed much improved and his early demise was not expected. The immediate cause of death was apparently acute indigestion, with heart failure. Mr. Bliss was born May 28, 1864 in the town of Hartwick and was a son of William and Celestia (Chase) Bliss. His earlier years were spent in that township, but in 1886 he came to Oneonta, to the farm which later he purchased and where ever since he has resided. He was married in 1889 to Mary Blend of Oneonta, by whom and by one son, Walter A. Bliss of Oneonta, he is survived. He leaves also two sisters, Mrs. William Prentice of Ilion, and Mrs. Janet Coleman of Binghamton; and three brothers, George W. and Frank N. Bliss of Cooperstown, and Wilburn Bliss of Toddsville ... He leaves many friends who will deeply sympathize with the immediate family in the loss of husband, father and brother. The funeral services were held Wednesday at 2 p. m. at his late home. His pastor, the Rev. Dr. B. M. Johns, officiating, and burial was made in the family plot in the Plains cemetery." ["The Otsego Farmer & Republican" (Cooperstown, NY), March 31, 1922, p. 5]
