Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing

**********************************************************************

Dr. Ellis W. Bliss is one of the leading dentists in this portion of
Missouri, and especially in Potosi, where he has risen to a position in
his profession in full keeping with his character as a man and his en-
viable social standing.  A close student of the science of dentistry,
with a natural aptitude for his profession as an art, he keeps fully up
with the times, and promptly avails himself of all new ideas, methods
and improvements evolved in the progress and development of his calling.
As a consequence there are no new processes with which he is not famil-
iar.  Dr. Bliss was born in Warsaw, Hancock Co., Ill., February 28, 
1857, and is a son of N. W. and Amanda (Andrews) Bliss, the former a
native of Bradford, Vt., and the latter of New York.  Ellis W., the 
eldest in a family of ten children, accompanied his parents to Washing-
ton County in 1869, which county has since been his home.  He chose the
practice of dentistry as a profession, and after a thorough preparation
in the dental department of the St. Louis Medical College, he graduated
in the class of 1882, and since that time has followed his calling with
a good degree of success.
