Mt Democrat (Placerville) Feb 9 1918
A. A. Bliss Passes Away

Alphonso A. Bliss, one of Placerville's oldest and best known residents, died
suddenly at his home on Sacramento street about nine o'clock last Saturday
night.  Death resulted from heart failure and was unexpected, although Mr. Bliss
had been in poor health for several years.  A. A. Bliss was born in Illinois on
Christmas Day, 1842, and came to California 42 years ago.  From that time until
a few months before his death he had followed his occupation of painter and
decorator.  During later years, and until very recently, three of his
sons--Albert, Will and Frank--had been associated with him in that business at
various periods.  Mr. Bliss was a widower, his wife having died several years
ago.  He had long been an officer in Morning Star Lodge No. 20, I.O.O.F., by
whom the funeral was held in this city at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, with
services by Rev. E. E. Clark.  Interment was in Union Cemetery.  four sons and
two daughters survive:  Steve Bliss, of Oakland; Albert Bliss, of Placerville
and Sacramento; Will Bliss, of Richmond; Frank Bliss, of Sacramento; Mrs. Annie
Simas, of Walnut Grove, Sacramento county; and Miss Susie Bliss, of this city.
