Eight of the 11 children and 10 of the 44 grandchildren are buried near the BLISS Family Plot or near by in the Lawrenceville Cemetery.
There continues to be some confusion on her husband's middle name. It has been reported as Olonzo and Alonzo. However, most records simply have an O for middle name of Henry. Hand written family records have his name as Henry O, as well. His Civil War military records state middle name as Orlando and this seems to be his name of choice. It is confusing that her obit states Henry O but her gravestone says Alonzo. His gravestone states Henry O Bliss.
